A coach explains why asking for a kiss before it happens isn't awkward, it's exciting. He says the yes from the other person creates a "woohoo moment" that feels respectful and builds attraction more than assuming consent ever could.
Nobody's doing this. You want to kiss someone. All night you've been wanting to kiss them. This person leans into you all of a sudden and says, can I kiss you? Are you going to do this? You asked. Awkward. Wounded. Or are you doing a woohoo dance inside your head? This is about to happen. If you agree this is a woohoo moment, yell woohoo. Woohoo! Yes. Why do we all yell woohoo right there? By the way, I get Marines in the deserts of Africa yelling woohoo. People love this part. Why do people love that moment? One, you're not being treated like an object they're just rolling through. They're actually treating you like a person who they respect and value. Does that feel good in an intimate moment? Yes or no? Yes, it does. Two, you're getting to hear they want you. By the way, is that normally how it works? No. So you're getting confirmation. How many agree when you find out the person you're hot for is hot for you, this is hot? If you agree that's hot, say hot. Only asking first gives you that gift.
