A Slate advice column reminded me of a conversation I had with a dear friend.
He was talking about being on a date with a mutual acquaintance, and at a stoplight, asking if he could kiss her.
This was a romantic obviously into each other date.
It occurred to me, no one has ever asked if they could kiss me. It was all reading the vibe. I have been (sort of) asked if a hug can go on.
Now, he’s in LA, known in entertainment, and has good reasons to make sure no one ever accuses him of anything.
And, I guess it got filed under “has to live as if his life will be on the front page.”
So I’m wondering, do you ask? Been asked?
Still reading the moment?
How do you navigate the first lip lock?
