13. How to say Yes
• 1. I Do!
If you ever asked somebody to marry you, than you know what I mean: “I
do” is a very interesting form of total submission and commitment. You say
“I do” with almost your last breathe, still thinking the other person would
never ask. You are almost shouting, raising your voice in an effort of being
heard and accepted. Can you hear me? I’m here! I do!
• 2. Let’s Do It!
The practical approach of starting stuff together. You use “Let’s do it” when
you’re eager to start, have almost everything it takes, the only extra piece
being saying it out loud so the other part can hear it. “Let’s do it” is the
ultimate involvement answer, it’s so enabling that it barely qualify for a
plain “Yes”, it’s more of an informal affiliation statement:.
• 3. What Are We Waiting For?
The standard “Yes” of the impatient (and maybe of the compulsive one, but
I’m not quite sure about that). This answer literally bury the question and
move the focus on the physical action. If you get this type of “Yes” it means
the question was superfluous. Instead, you should just move on and start
doing things.

14. • 4. Hell, Yes
Enthusiastic and passionate, this answer always reminds me of a
long dusty road in the desert and a nice bike under the rider. It’s
the ultimate expression of freedom, of leaving behind the old
version of you and starting over. Every time I hear this answer, I
know something fundamentally new will happen.
• 5. I’m In It
Business-like expression of a partnership. This “Yes” is wearing a
suit and it’s quite disciplined. If your question involves some long
term plan, receiving this “Yes” could be a very good sign. It
shows commitment and strictness. The tricky part is that the
other person is looking forward for the same things in you, so be
careful.

6. I Was Born For It
“I’m waiting for this question since I was born, dude. Of course, it’s yes. How can it
be the other way around?” This “Yes” is always making me smile. Makes me
actually visualize the whole process: well, I think I would like to be born for…. that
thing! Can we do it? Please? Wow, great, now let’s find some guys to spread the
word about it.
7. Of Course
Chilling and kinda polite. This “Yes” goes well with a cup of the and some biscuits.
Maybe a little break in the afternoon, around five o’clock, but let’s not push it.
Whenever I hear this “Yes” I’m also prepared to hear a “but”. I think this “Yes” is
the most “but”-prone from all. Nevertheless, hearing it makes me feel like I’m
having some very important negotiation.
8. My Thoughts Exactly
Confirming and validating, this “Yes” is almost a confession. It’s so powerful that
I’m sometimes afraid I actually penetrated into the other guy’s mind. I mean, are
those really his thoughts? Wow. Whenever I use it, I do it because I really trust the
other person or I try to build a more intimate connection. Which is always
happening after this type of “Yes”.
9. Are We There Yet?
And that would be actually the “Yes” of the compulsive. I admit I get the shivers
when I hear it, although I do know it’s funny. But the confirmation level is so high
and the triggered energy seems so available, that I’m almost feeling guilty for not
going “there” yet. I also think this is the more validating “Yes” from all.

10. You’ll Lead, I’ll Follow
Any “Yes” expressed in this form will show total trust and confidence from the other part.
When it does not show a fine sense of irony too, of course. It’s the most uncertain “Yes”
from all. If I hear this, I know that although I’m getting followed, I somehow keep all the
responsibility. This “Yes” comes with a little bit of extra caution.
11. Aye, Aye, Sir!
Military-like acceptance. You can’t mistake this one as a disguised “No”, in my opinion. I
almost always respond to this “Yes” with a relieving “Dismissed!”, just for the fun of it. And
every time I hear it, I’m compelled to continue the discussion in short but strong sentences,
also know as orders. The nice thins with orders is that you expect them to be followed, most
of the time.
12. Undoubtedly
In case you’re having any doubt, I mean. If you’re hearing this, you’re taking off the veil from
a possibly foggy situation and acknowledge total confidence. This “Yes” is coming with the
sound of a hammer hitting a nail right in the head. If you know what I mean. I think this
“Yes” is the most relieving of all.
13. Always!
You know I do, why are you still asking? It’s also a form of past, present and future
commitment. If you hear this, your next question may not be necessary at all. This “Yes” is
more than often the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
14. Totally!
Unreserved immersion and acceptance. That “yes” is my favorite, but if you ask me why, I’m
not sure I know the answer. Maybe because I am that kind of guy: if I’m in it for something, I
simply don’t know the meaning of half, I do it all the way up to the end
