A speaker argues that asking for a kiss before it happens is a gift that shows respect and confirms mutual desire. The same principle applies everywhere, from dating to workshops the speaker ran with Marines in Africa.
Let's say it's not who we just had on stage, Leo Pieri. Let's say that it is you on a date going great. The person you've been wanting to kiss leans into you. You've been wanting to kiss them. You're really attracted to this person and says, can I kiss you? Are you gonna do this? You asked? Awkward. No way. Or are you doing a little woohoo dance inside your head? This is about to happen. If you agree this is a woohoo moment, yell woohoo! Woohoo! By the way, I do this for Marines in the deserts of Africa and they yell woohoo. Why? Why do people yell woohoo in this moment? Why would you be woohooing if this happened to you? Raise your hand and tell me why it's a woohoo. There's a couple reasons it's a woohoo. Yes? They're treating me with respect. Yeah, you got 2 things going on that are awesome. One, they're treating you and valuing you with respect, which you might not have had happen before. If you do, it's rare. So that feels good. 2, you're getting to hear the person you want wants you. How many agree when you find out the person you're hot is hot for you, this is hot? If you agree that's hot, yell hot! Hot! Only asking gives you that gift.
