The only face to face encounter with her between now and Monday is Sunday evening, and I'm concerned that this is way to close to the court date (i.e. the night before). What do you think?
Heim,
The kids are at daycare, and I don't live too far away from there and I believe my house without the kids, other adults, etc, being there would be a better medium. I like the idea for coffee, but she is now an insulin-dependent diabetic and can't really drink the coffee drinks anymore. Work isn't a good idea either because her boyfriend works there too, and word would likely get around fast (not something I want him to know, I guess, as I feel it may hurt my chances). Also, I don't think W would respond well at her workplace simply because of the BF factor and maybe even pride (don't know though).
I agree that face to face is the ideal, but am wondering if giving her too much time to consider the talk prior to meeting face to face (i.e. if I have to ask her to meet tomorrow or such because she can't today) is a bad idea, and that maybe it would be better to do the talk over the phone at that point. I don't want to give her too much time to think about it and then call back and say she doesn't want to meet, or something like that.
