Overview
In negotiating something with a friend -- maybe even something as simple as where to go for dinner -- you need to carefully consider the balance of power in the relationship. Their ego is going through a very sensitive phase, and you need to try to let them call the shots this time. But be careful not to appear too passive -- they'll know something is up and get embarrassed of self-conscious. Be generous and think of their feelings for the next few days. They'll be over it soon.
