Granite, she's not playing a game with you. She's not trying to make you beg. Why are you unable to ask for such a simple thing? Is it that you are afraid the answer will be no, she doesn't have an available time that will work for you? True, that might be the case, but unless you specifically ask her about it so you can have that conversation with her, you will never know. This is just called being assertive. And yes, it is a very important skill that T's obviously want us to learn. Don't make this into some kind of battle of the wills. Ask for what you need. Take care of your needs.
