My question: when people say "no way" – what does it mean?

When you ask a friend to do ,but he deny you. Said that he can not, attitude is very firm.maybe that is..

Hi, Amarte! Maybe that is because he don't know about you anything. I think if you send a message to him(or her) before ask he to be your friend you'll have more chances that he approve your friend request. Or you can chat with person you've chosen as a friend in forums. Anyway, don't be ofended if someone deny you. It doesn't mean you are bad person. Good luck!Smile
