Hello fellow steemians,
Sometimes I feel awful asking money from people especially my boyfriend all the time so.....
Are you looking for ways to ask your boyfriend for money politely or without sounding demanding?
Then, these few tips are for you!
Never make a straight forward demand.
This is an important tip to take first into consideration because, making a straight forward demand could turn off your boyfriend as there's a thin line between asking for money and becoming a demanding girlfriend. Guys hate demanding girlfriends; so you must allow them to figure out that you need money themselves. This brings me to tip number two.Drop money wishes to his hearing.
You could do this by making casual statements like this instance:
"I wish I had money just to change my hair and look good for you." Then, pause and wait for his reaction. 😁Let's say you want money for a hairdo, you could also use this trick. Drop pictures of beautiful hairstyles made by other girls with an inscription:
"Which of these do you think would fit me?"
If he still doesn't respond, then switch over your tactics.Drop money excuses.
For example, if your boyfriend says:
"Hey, why haven't you called me since?"
Your response should be:
"I am kinda depressed because I'm broke and don't even have money to make my hair."
The idea of a hairdo you've sown in him before would germinate at this point.Use the 'give me a loan format'.
Asking him to loan you money is another way to kill two birds with one stone without being seen as a gold digger too. Let's assume you need 3,000 naira to make your hair. To get this amount, you might need to request a loan of 5,000 naira or even 7. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't want to risk giving you such massive amount as a loan (in case of a break-up😂). So in most cases, your boyfriend would decide to provide you with a lesser amount without an option to pay back because he loves you. Amazing-- isn't it?Give and take method.
You need to find something he wants, help him accomplish it, then make that request while it's still hot and him in a thankful mood.
Does he need help with preparing some dishes? Help him make those dishes.
Probably, he wants to do surup air surup air? You could go down with him. 🙊
Mind you, your request should spontaneously and fresh.Just ask politely.
If you're the type who prefers going straight to the point, then just ask him for money politely.
But when looking to ask your boyfriend for money directly, make sure you consider the following factors:
a. Mood (his best/happy mood).
b. Environment (when spending some quality time casually together).
c. Period ( know when to ask him; for instance, make a request a few days before his paycheck day).
Ah! Too much sense will not kill me oh. 😜
d. Tonality (you can mean something and the way you present it could make it seem like something else.
For example:
"Send me 2k urgently".
"I sincerely need 2k urgently to buy a new phone charger".
Which one sounds better?
All these are tips that increases your chances of getting money from your boo.
Erm....after all these tips, Janey no get boyfriend way go send her money for a hairdo.
It's not easy to be a boss lady oh. 👩⚖️
