I'm great at talking to girls. I can make some flirty jokes. But when it comes to stepping it up by going for a kiss or something like that, I fall short.

All the girls are talking abt hoe you need consent n shit, yet they fall for the people who don't do it. I'm scared to become one of the people who don't do it cause if I misread a situation, they will tell their friends about what a dick I am.

On the other hand, if I ask, I'm afraid it kills any possible mood, or comes across as creepy if I misread the situation again. And once again, I'm afraid of word going around. "...and then out of the blue he said he wanted to kiss me. What a weirdo".

I'm just fucking scared that every move i make can trigger a rumor about me and that my friend circle will be ruined. Any ideas?
