You never know who's gotten themself in trouble and now is trouble themself... you may as well put a tape recorder in the ladies face.  Emails (even when very careful care is taken) are a high risk of resurfacing.

Speak to her face to face.  

Or, what I invite my friends to do:
Feel free to send general emails, not associated with an appointment request.
"Hey, I loved this story!  Check it out."
"This toy looks fantastic.  Do you know if they carry it at BabeLand?"
Etc.

I recommend that you NOT ask to recreate the scenerio, play with the toy, or any other such questions.  They may be seen as solicitation and nary a reply.

Just my thoughts...

There should not be a need to discuss donations if you have a website . . .

However, if he must, then hopefully he has the sense to say "I'd like to make a donation to the Red Cross in your mother's honor, so how much do you think is appropriate to give them?"

Hugs,

Never, never, never if it's someone with whom I'm a repeat or a "regular."  It's just really bad taste.  If it's a "beyond regular" situation, then the contours of the relationship determine what should and shouldn't be discussed, just as it would be in any relationship.  I love to flirt, tease and get dirty in emails, but only when the comfort zone is very, very big.

Hell, I ask that before the first date.
