Quite a fascinating discussion / analysis. Relationships (and here I don't mean a long term romantic relationship but rather just a brief interaction between two people) can be complex. What I tend to promote is the concept that almost never does someone consider the other person's viewpoint.
Saying "no" to someone trying to be nice can be very difficult to understand. It's easy for that "no" to be interpreted as "Yes I love that you would do that, but I don't want to ask or expect it from you".
We all could benefit from "slowing down and listening to each other" more!
