How to get your friend to do something they really don't want to do:

We all are familiar with the situation where you have to go to a boring event, but don't want to go alone, so we ask a friend. That friend however feels very little motivation to spend time doing something they don't want to do. Here's where the how to comes in:

1. Do a nice gesture (or gestures depending on how awful the thing you want them to do is) in the days prior to when you ask them.
2. When you ask, be sure your friend is in a good mood and make it seem as painless as possible.
3. If they don't say yes the first time you ask, keep bringing it up to annoy them just a little in hopes that they might say yes just to get you to stop annoying them.
4. Channel your inner salesperson. Treat it like you are selling your friend an item. Throw in enticing things on the side to win them over. Things such as fro-yo afterwards, a movie night, or if all else fails, straight up cash.
5. As a final attempt, remind them of all the things you have done for them throughout your friendship and if they are truly your friend, they will sacrifice their time and energy for you.
