There's not a single socially capable person that will not straight away understand that "I will think about it" means "no".
May as well say no.
- Joeri 4y agoNot if you will genuinely think about it. The assumption that it means no is often wrong. I’m cautious and say this often to things I then afterwards say yes to.
- vaylian 4y agoI will think about it
- russelldjimmy 4y agoWhat is the way to genuinely communicate “I will think about it” then?
- iLoveOncall 4y agoExplain which aspects you need to think about and why, and give a deadline for when you'll have the answer about those particular aspects. The cases where you genuinely need to "think about it" are few and far between. I would even go as far as saying they are inexistant. The vast majority will be "I don't want to do it, but do I like you enough to do it?".
- vouaobrasil 4y agoDisagree. Sometimes, I really do need to think about it...and especially with people I love (family and close friends), I sometimes do come back and say yes! And to be honest, I couldn't care less what others perceive.
