A psychological theory that when someone asks for help, the helper will have a good impression of the person asking for help. What is this theory?

Hello, the effect you are talking about is the "Franklin effect".

The story you are telling may be this:

A daughter asked her father how to make the boy she likes like her?

The father replied: Let him buy you an ice cream.

The daughter asked again: What next?

The father replied: Let him buy another one.

This father is well aware of the "Franklin Effect".

Because this boy’s behavior of buying ice cream, although very simple, is a subtle contribution.

He would think about what kind of ice cream girls like to eat? Strawberries or milk? Big or small? From this house or another?

Invisibly, the boy paid time, money, and emotion for this girl.

Gradually, the boy will ask himself, why should I buy her ice cream?

Don’t worry, he will find a hundred reasons for himself.

Story about the "Franklin Effect":

When Franklin was just a state congressman from Pennsylvania, he wanted to win the recognition and support of another congressman. However, Franklin was unwilling to grovel to the other side. He chose a unique approach. Because he heard that the congressman had collected a very rare and rare book, Franklin wrote a letter and said politely: "I really want to appreciate it and read it. Can you lend it to me for a few days?" The congressman said nothing. The book was delivered, and Franklin returned it a week later with a note expressing his gratitude. Unexpectedly, at the next congressional meeting, this congressman took the initiative to talk to Franklin. He was very polite, which had never happened before, and expressed his approval of Franklin on many things. They became very good friends, a friendship that lasted a lifetime.

In life, if you want to make someone like you, ask them to do you a favor. This will make others feel recognized and respected, and can shorten the psychological distance between each other.
