I got slapped in the face doing that in middle school.
- grecy 11y agoah, but it was worth it :)
- fuzzythinker 11y agoNot really, it was just a face kiss and she slapped me pretty hard :(
- rspeer 11y agoYou still had the right idea in middle school. Slaps in the face stop hurting sooner than regrets do.

- Torgo 11y agoIn either case you have removed ambiguity, which is cause of suffering.
- fuzzythinker 11y agoTrue, I guess I learned first hand "fail fast".
- knicholes 11y agoYou learned first "hand."
- mycroft-holmes 11y agoThe first thing I thought when I read this one, "Someone is going to rip sama apart on Twitter for his binary mindset."
- haneefmubarak 11y agoThere's always an idiot or twenty five thousand that completely fail to see the point in their rush to find something to be pissed off about. It's really the loss of none but their own, and it's just too bad that they consistently fail to see it.
- guynamedloren 11y agoBetter than not doing it and forever wondering "what if".
- fuzzythinker 11y agoI guess Sama covered that one too from the "don't regret" ;)
- philh 11y agoBetter for the kisser, perhaps, but presumably not the kissee.

- clay_to_n 11y agoSerious question, not meaning to be a smartass or offend: why don't more people try the line "Can I kiss you?"
- mycroft-holmes 11y agoThey don't want to come across as a creep.
- joshdick 11y agoThe only people who will find that creepy are the people who will slap you if you try it without consent.
- mycroft-holmes 11y agoThat's just not true. I've seen women online, women I know irl, who have said things along the lines of, "If you see a woman alone in a coffee shop, don't talk to her." Meanwhile, the same girls will complain about how men never talk to them. I see this more and more often within the latest wave of feminism. I see women on Twitter complaining about "creeps" all the time even when they aren't doing anything I'd consider creepy.
- clay_to_n 11y agoHN isn't really the place to get into a long conversation on this, but your comment supports even more the idea that the easiest way to kiss someone is to simply ask for consent before you do. Some guys have this idea that "Can I kiss you" will complicate things or kill the moment, but I've seen no evidence that that's true. It's four words, and saves you from the problems that come up if you kiss her and she wasn't comfortable with it.
