This phrase is perfectly fine, Bowe says, if you are actually asking somebody what they want, as in, "Do you want to go to the movies tomorrow?" But it will come across as rude if you are in fact telling someone what you want them to do, not asking them what they want.

"People generally like to pitch in. But they don't like to feel manipulated."
