Yes, thank you. I am of the people who find 'no' a very difficult word and who therefore minimize the occasions on which I have to say it or I'm likely to prompt others to say it. Whereas a number of my friends (including some women) are of the tribe of people who think that it's always fair to ask, because the other person can 'just' say no.
The hardest thing to adequately explain is why there's no 'just' about it. I always wind up tongue-tied and frustrated.
