I mean, when do you get to do such
Definition of "things": Asking people ridiculous things and hoping for the best, even when you would probably disagree if you were being asked the question from a random stranger.
A good experience nonetheless, and several new lessons learnt:
1. How effective your question depends on the reason (aka the story) that you provide, if the story is convincing and reasonable, that makes an "unrealistic request" more reasonable. (Somehow "birthdays" seem to make a good reason)
2. Sometimes something as seemingly easy as asking for someone to "be your friend" can be met with resistance. So don't assume!
3. The definition of "unrealistic" differs between culture (and individual) - one man's meat is another man's poison. What might seem unrealistic to us might not seem unrealistic at all to another. For instance, giving free food.
4. There are some arguments that you cannot negotiate with - such as safety. I tried negotiating to make my own coffee but the barista just mentioned "for your safety" - there's nothing I can do.
5. And some people give off the vibe of "do-not-ever-try-to-negotiate-with-me".
6. Rejection therapy takes practice, and after a while it can be quite fun to try to negotiate and solicit a "yes" for your probably retarded question.
7. Oh, and girls might have an advantage for getting the things they want. Bonus points if they are physically attractive. Time to build my body (:
End of the day, you still have to go and ask. Each person is different, and you never know what they will reply until you ask.
A short and sweet post. Thanks!
