Thanks for seeing me on such a short notice.

3. Family *dynamics*= the intimacy of family members or family meetings?

4. I would research the differences in the way men and women *relate* to each other when dating.

connect people or things
form friendly association

Is it more like communicate than connect?

[redset]

1. Yes!

2. The phrase is 'such short notice', so it's the first one

3. 'Dynamics' means the way things work together, so 'family dynamics' means the relationships between different family members, how they behave, things like that.

4. I'd say it's more like connect really - relating to someone is understanding them as a person, and identifying things you have in common. Of course communication's important in this too!
