Asking someone to be your cofounder is a big commitment that not many people can fulfill. Consider an alternative: do you lack some expertise that you need right now? If so, can you hire them part time to support you. It much easier to get someone to say yes without them quitting their job. You pay them in cash or equity. If equity, it will definitely be less than cofounder shares since they understand it's not a commitment and they can quit anytime. I call this 0.5 cofounder. Its not 1 (solo) or 2 (cofounder): somewhere in the middle.
