Mike Domitrz argues that asking for a kiss doesn't kill attraction, it heightens it. When someone leans in and asks, the mutual interest and consent make the moment more exciting, not less. Asking is a gift that amplifies shared enthusiasm.
Your partner, who you want to kiss, leans in and says to you, can I kiss you? Are you going to do this? You asked. Awkward. Ruined it. Or are you going to be doing a little woohoo dance inside your head? This is about to happen. If you agree this is a woohoo moment, yell woohoo! Woohoo! Why do people love this moment? That was a lot of woohoos. Why? Raise your hand and tell me why you woohoo. Yes? It's hot. It's hot. Yes. How many agree it is? How many agree when you find out the person you're hot for is hot for you, That's hot. If you agree that's hot, say hot. Only, and I want everybody to hear this, only asking gives you that gift.
