A simple rule from a friend: the answer's always no if you don't ask. Asking gives you a real answer instead of assuming rejection. Even a no is better than the certainty you get from staying silent.

Tip number 107. This is one of my favorites. The answer's always no if you don't ask. I learned this a long time ago, many, many years ago from a friend who used that as their mantra in life. Whenever they wanted something, they would ask. The answer's no if you don't ask. It might be no if you do ask, but you'll never know if If you don't. The answer's no if you don't ask.
