But fuck it.
ok it sounds like you're taking this a lot more seriously than I am so I'll simmer down but "consent" is complicated - verbal consent is not authoritative, I've known girls that say yes when their eyes say no and the other way around, every person is different and every interaction is different and even an interaction with the same person day to day can change, especially with young women.
I'm just not sure what you expect from me. there's been times when I have expressly and enthusiastically given verbal consent, there's times when I haven't, there's times when I have but wasn't sure, there's been times when I've gotten it right and another time wrong with the same partner. the important part is that you don't hang all your hopes on one encounter and that when an encounter doesn't go the way you were hoping or expecting that you're human enough to roll with it, learn from it and grow as a person. every encounter - good, bad, dry, wet - changes you, the worst thing you can do is be stubborn to that change and resist it.
if you don't mind me asking, ballpark figure, how old are you?
anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
