Hi should I meet with bankers I have know for a long time face to face

Hi guys

I have known some bankers for a long time.....

should I meet them face 2 face??

when I meet them, what I should say? ask jobs directly ? no! nobody has this responsibility except myself... however, time is very limited... I know I should ask for meetings.... but what I should say...

If banker is girl, say -> Did you recently get those yoga pants on sale? Because at my house they're 100% off.

If banker is guy, say -> Yo, I just discovered I am bisexual. I'd like to buy you a drink...and then get sexual.

...but in all seriousness, if you have known them for a while, catch up/ask how's life, then say make your ask in the form of a question "I was reading more about your firm, can you tell me a little more about group X?"
