"We should get together soon" Sooo recognizable. And a great realization that the first one to utter this phrase is the one who gets away with all the benefits. Coming across as open, friendly and inviting without all the pressure. What a little boss sentence! My question would be on how to respond if you're the one receiving this comment and are not particularly looking forward to meeting up with this person, how can you respond without looking like a total $#% ? But that's my personal question and a bit off topic, just something i've noticed people doing here without having the intention to really meet up. More on topic: love the way of adding a few options for times and dates of you are the one posing the question, that is perfect

Hmmm. So for your first question (how might I respond to a vague request like this): Nowadays I just do the work they could have done in the first place - so I'll respond not just with an affirmation of interest but also with some preferred timeslots.

...and if you're not interested in actually meeting up with the sender? Well I'm yet to master that one. It's easy enough for me to say you should be totally honest and just say that you're not keen - but it's obviously never that simple. But yeah, you should just be totally honest and say you're not keen obviously ๐Ÿ™ƒ
