One of the important things I learned in the working world is that if someone says, “I owe you one, do let me know if I can do anything for you”. If you need this person’s help, go for it and please do it soon otherwise the person would have forgotten what has just been said. From my experience, most gratitude don’t last very long. People will usually say nice things when they have received help but when you leave it for too long, the great help that has been given to them doesn’t seem to be that “great” after all. An exception would be for those very few people who gives help unconditionally BUT they are very few and almost in extinction So, don’t be shy, reach out and get that help.
