It's a statement of humility, AZ - at least for me. It could be arrogant for someone else just like a cliche can be this or that depending on how it's used. So don't know how you use it in a way to mean arrogant, AZ.
I asked someone the other day if what I offered was something he wanted to know more about or not and he said NO. I asked him if I could call him again sometime and see if things have changed and he said OK. He also took a business card - I took some info from him as I might be able to send someone his way.
We departed friends - no resistence or struggle [by the way I turned down what he offered me and we'll look at that again in six months] no arrogance but I'd say humility born out of a real honest and straight relationship.
The best to all.
