Is it any wonder I love you two? 🙂 I’ve also said if they would let me know, I would stop stalking them. 🙂

In reply to Paula Hendrickson.

I agree, Paula. Cathy is the opposite of a pest. 🙂

You’re right — a “no” is better than silence. The time wasted on both sides isn’t worth it.

So much good advice in one post!

While Cathy could never be a pest, some people simply hate saying no, so they avoid responding. When faced with silence or indecision, I’ll usually follow up with something like, “I’d really appreciate a yes or no on this.”

“No,” is better than no response at all.
