Hi Julia,

I've been reading along with your sitch, but you've been getting such great advice that I haven't had anything to add.

The one thing that I would suggest in your message is not to say the following:

Quote:
I think this would be a really good time for us to meet to discuss the options rather than one person proposing a solution that the other has to agree and it seems to take us forever by email.


I think this sounds a bit accusatory and reflects your frustration. Perhaps you could keep the essence of the sentence, which is that you want to meet up to discuss, while softening it a bit. I say this because if he gets that you are frustrated, it may make it harder to get him to agree a meeting. If you took out the "rather than one person proposing a solution that the other has to agree" part, I think it would read better.

Like Ali I am glad that things are moving for you.

ITH
