Dear Liliane,
How do you ask someone that you need to talk to them in person other than saying we need to talk?
Well this is a bit of a loaded question, but here goes....
There are a lot of ways to connect with someone. The key is, what’s your agenda and how can you keep them in the loop without manipulating them?
If you really just want to hang out, then tell them you miss their smiling face and ask when could you get together.
But this sounds a bit more serious. ‘We need to talk’ carries a bit of an ominous tone, and some folks will immediately feel anxiety or at the very least, a their radar will be up. Yet, it’s not nice to approach someone as though you just want to talk about the weather, and then blindside them with something heavy. They have the right to honour their own feelings and NOT meet up with you if they are uncomfortable.
So my best suggestion is, take the time to clear your own feelings so that you can speak from the heart. Be direct. Keep it simple. Be willing to accept their response even if it is not what you hoped for. But if you approach them openly and without a bunch of emotional baggage, then you have the best chance at on-going dialogue, whatever it may be about.
Good luck!
Got a question that needs a new pair of eyes?

i would make a polite suggestion; please describe the guys working on the store fronts as facade crews.
the term facade squad makes me think of another group of masked federal agents dispatched to do the trump regimes' dirty work.
Sunny, with a high of 93 and low of 66 degrees. Sunny in the morning, thundery outbreaks in nearby during the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
I'm calling on the Secretary of Agriculture to change the official designation of the Lincoln from National Forest, to National Ashtray.
It's designation should be more in line with it's actual use.
does this mean that you don't have a personal relationship with brooke rollins? saying that, has pam bondi ever gotten back in touch with you regarding the source of funding for all those nasty protests against dear leader's royal inclinations? couple weeks back, you told us that news was going to break immedia
After looking at New Mexico election law, a person may run as a candidate for office in the primary of the party they are registered with, without first seeking that party's approval.
this is just another echo of the fight to recognize the health risks of exposure to agent orange in the decades after the vietnam war.
Laymans translation, Mr. Sharp is having some problems proving his clients contracted cancer from PFAS.
Notice he's not crying about coverage for known cancer causing agents, but PRESUMED cancer causing agents. That's because to date, there is no known PROOF of any adverse health effects from PFAS.
there's neighbor john, right on schedule. he has already declared his willingness for other folks to be exposed to well established risks in environmental situations - just as long as he can't see them from where he lives.
So, Miyagishima is going after Republican and Independent voters instead of the Democrat base in a blue state who's election laws are heavily biased towards Democrats. Tells you something about the state of the Democrat Party.
