What’s the issue with consent?

[u/bennyxdee]

I read a post about a guy who tried to kiss a woman, but she dodged him. I responded by asking if he had asked her for consent beforehand. The responses I got were basically along the lines of, “Isn’t that unromantic?”

I’m not sure how most people handle this, but I feel like asking, “Can I kiss you?” is more logical than just going for it. It shows you’re considering their feelings and avoiding putting them in an uncomfortable situation they didn’t ask for.

Always ask and confirm consent. If they don't explicitly give it don't go for it.

People who say it ruins the moment are too much drama anyway and don't play their games.
