How do you ask an aquaintance if he/she would like to meet up one day?

[Misty Marshal]

Just looking for ways to ask an aquaintance if he/she would like to meet up after 17 years of not seeing each other. we've known each other since we were one year old, and played together as kids. We were like best friends,; him, me and his sister. But time moved on and so did we. So, I am just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can ask them if they would like to do something?

Well first you could try catching up with them and then ask them.

[Ally]

say something like "its been forever since ive seen you wanna grab a coffee or dinner we need to catch up"

[DigitalStag]

Ask them if they want to meet up and do something. Not difficult.

If your still friends with any one from then that they might know as well, tell them your going to have a gathering at your house and then invite your past time friend for some catching up

[Bob Buckley]

Say, "hello acquaintance, would you like to meet up one day?"

If you don't want it to seem like you're pressuring them into meeting, say that you're planning to travel to the area that they live in anyway (assuming it's not local to you), whether for business, for vacation, or to visit other friends or relatives or whatever. And say that while you're in town, you were wondering whether they'd like to get together for lunch or coffee. Unless they'll be out of town, most people should be able to free up enough time to grab a quick cup of coffee, unless they just plain have no interest in meeting.

I've met for lunch or dinner with three former high school classmates so far, who I didn't stay in touch with after graduation. Before the advent of Facebook, I never expected to see them again except possibly at a class reunion, but in each case, it wasn't awkward at all and I was glad to have caught up with them. So don't worry too much about asking; everything will be fine, whether or not they want to meet.
