LBH Looking for Help and Guidance

[ovrrnbw]

I've agreed to having a family dinner at her place later this week with the intent that we talk privately afterwords.

Then get the meeting to a neutral public place. Give her 15-20 minutes. You have something important to do afterwards. End the meeting first.

Family dinner? Really? I'm just going to tell you these little talks are all BS.

And what's wrong with R2C's advice here?

I really hate being ambushed like this

It's not an ambush.
