If someone says yes, it means you haven’t won yet! Grab another card or find a different person to ask. If someone says no, you won! Nod graciously, accept the answer, and walk away in triumph.
Keep all your requests and comments respectful of the other person’s body. Don’t say anything sexual or rude about their appearance. Take no for an answer. If the person says no, say “okay,” shrug your shoulders, and walk away. Recognize that some people have a very strong sense of stranger danger (particularly more vulnerable groups, such as women and disabled people). If the person seems too uncomfortable, apologize and leave.
Rejection can actually be a good thing. If someone rejects you or your request, it wasn’t a good fit anyway. Think of rejection as a gift and a catalyst for you to get into a better situation where you are accepted and successful.
Be more aware of how irrational social fears control and restrict our lives Smash the tyranny of fear and reap the treasures (treasures include wealth, relationships and self-confidence) Learn from, and even enjoy each and every new rejection Do not be attached to outcomes, especially when it involves the free agency of other people Permit yourself to fail
