Asking favor from a friend? Here’s what you should do!

Having a friend whom you can run to in times of need is indeed, a blessing. Asking for a little favor can be quite easy, especially when you practically treat each other as a brother or sister. But despite your natural bonds, there will still be times when asking for a favor can be too difficult of a task, most especially if it is a big or a weird favor to ask.

Before you fret and worry, we have below 5 tips on how you can ask your friend a favor the proper way.

1.Respect their time

Your friend might be busy at work or busy with something, so make sure to approach them at an appropriate time. It’s best if you let them know beforehand that you have a favor to ask and meet with them at their most convenient time.

2.Get to the point

It is better to mention your intentions sooner. Beating around the bush will only make your friend anxious about your final question and worried on how to say no if they have no means to help you. Being up-front is also a smart-use of time because it gives you more time to look for another helper in case the one you are asking declines.

3.Be clear with your intentions

Leave nothing to guessing when asking for a favor. Explain the facts of the situation clearly and tell them the reason why you really need their help.

4.Give your friend a chance for an “out”

Give your friend an opportunity to escape and don’t shoot their reason on why they would not be able to help. Say something like “I understand if you are busy now.” or “Please don’t be obligated if you are not comfortable doing this for me.”

5.Take “no” for an answer

Don’t be upset if someone declines to grant you a favor. Thank your friend for his/her time and ask if they know anyone else who can help you with your situation. They might be able to recommend someone you haven’t even considered.
