At a table
You asked a classmate if you can sit with them. They looked at their friend and have not answered yet.
What could you do?
Three things you could say. None of them is the one right answer; each note says why it fits the moment, or why it may not.
Wait a moment. Give them time.
A strong fit
People often check with a friend first. It takes a second.
Say, "It is okay if not."
Also works here
This makes a no easier and a yes real. It works.
Sit down before they answer.
Worth a second look
You can. It takes the choice away from them.
What people here usually expect
- People often check with a friend before answering. It takes a second.
- Saying "it is okay if not" is kind and common.
- Waiting a moment is normal.
