I generally flirt a lot verbally. Gymming for a while. Doing good professionally. So more often than not, I find women interested in me as well. I have never asked for consent ever. Body language has been enough for me to make the move.

But in town, consent has been a big issue. So last night, something happened. I wasn't 100% sure the lady was in. I didn't want be make the scene awkward on long drive. So, I kept it cool. Nothing happened. But she slept on drive later.

I have many plates so, it didn't bothed me much.

But now I am wondering, What if?

I could sense she was into me. But i just wasn't sure enough.

Having never asked a women for consent verbally before.

Is it cool to ask a lady for concent who seems to be giving positive signs all night? Will it break the flow the 'permission' thing?

I am hoping for some perspective.

Thank you.
