Asking the question won’t change the answer
The truth is that it’s very hard to change someone’s mind. What I mean is that, the answer already exists long before you ask the question. If it’s a yes, it was a yes before you asked. If it’s a no, it was a no before you asked. Asking someone for an opportunity won’t make them go from wanting to say yes to wanting to say no.
