    The “three times” was an arbitrary number I made up. I don’t think there’s actually a defined number, but you ALWAYS decline the first offer.

      I’ve never even heard of declining the first one.

      I was raised if you offer something to someone and they say no. Then the answer is no. Don’t bug them.

      I’m over fifty btw
