What to reply when someone asks for help? ›

You can say something like, “OK. I'm here if you change your mind.” If you're open to helping them in other ways, you can ask if there's anything else you can do to help. If they say “no”, then respect that. If they suggest something else, then of course it's up to you whether to do what they've suggested.

Offer To Find The Answer

When someone asks you if they can help, refer to your list and say “YES.” Let them choose what task on the list they would like to do. You don't need to feel indebted to those who help—your sincere appreciation of their help is thanks enough. People understand that you may not be able to return the favor.

You could ask them if they have seen your question and if they have, let them know you have been wondering why they haven't answered. They might've missed it, something might be going on for them or they've felt uncomfortable answering that question. Either way, getting an answer will help you take it from there.
