Do you take no for an answer? Or do you try to reason with someone to get them to budge a little and maybe say yes?

I dunno. If I really do want something, I don't take no for an answer. But if it's all right, then it's all right.

Well I will take "no" for an answer. If it has something to do with money, I usually will get help. If I ask ahead of time. But if it is other stuff when someone says "no". I know they don't want to do it or they don't have it. I just leave it. Now I get people asking me stuff and when I say "no" sometimes I will feel guilty. Maybe I should helped this person out, but I got other stuff to worry about. I got to work on me first. So usually people will understand. If not, too bad.

If it's my parents who are saying no, I try my hardest to make them change there mind. : P

If it's my friend, I usually say something like, "you sure?" If they hold, I let the matter drop. :D

Depends. If it was from someone who won't understand my no, I won't take his/hers

'No' is a promise that can well be broken with a touch of persuasion..
Me, I mean it when I say it outright.

If they're serious about denying my request, I find it rather pointless to keep pursuing, since it could result in negative feelings later on. Of course, I might try to reason if it's nothing too serious.
I have a bad habit of saying "No" almost every time someone offers help. XD; When someone asks for help, though, and I refuse (which isn't often), the answer is definitive and I usually will not budge.

I will take no as an anwser because I know whenever I say no I really mean it. The only time I won't take no as an anwser is when the person is being unreasonable. Which happens a lot between me and my parents.

Occasionally if it's something I really want to know or do. Most of the time I just let it go because I usually find out some other way anyways.

I guess I'm more of the continuous asking type. I keep asking until I can actually come to an agreeable conclusion.

Well, sometimes I'll be pushy and try to reason. But this is only if I think it's because of the person being misinformed--I would never bully a person for money or anything. o.o
But in the end, I'm afraid to annoy the person, and I genuinely fail at making points, so I move on eventually. :]

Nu, fojfoje mi estus insistanta kaj peni rezoni. Sed nur ĉu mi pensas ke ĝi estas ĉar la persono estas missciigita--mi neniam ĉikanus personon por mono. o.o
Sed, mi temiĝas de indignigi la personon, kaj mi aŭtentike fiaskas je rezoni, sekve mi ĉesas fine. :]

Eh. Depends on what they said 'no' to. If it's something I think deserves a 'yes' (or at least a maybe), then I'll push a little. But, quite often, I'll just let it drop.

A lot. I'm a pushover, you see. If I ask for something and people say no, I'm the kind of person that kind of shrinks a bit and mumbles "okay...", completely dropping the issue. (This is why I am not a good salesman at work -- because I am way too timid for my own good.)

It takes something truly special for me to actually not take no for an answer.
