This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This depends entirely on the nature of the, "no".

If it's a shy, non-commital "no", with zero followup explaining any reasons they don't want to, then sure maybe another ask is in order.

If it's a solid "no", or they start listing off excuses or reasons after a tepid no... They probably actually don't want it. It COULD be something like anxiety making them say, "no" and stammer out some weak excusable excuses, but that is rare compared to someone who just wants to politely say no.
