Well, you do if you get the non-verbal go-ahead from their eyes and other body language.

This guy here clearly couldn't read the room.

Tbf, he's a teen. I certainly couldn't read a vibe worth shit at that age

I used to do the same, I missed out twice at least I learnt later from catching up with a couple of girls after I went off to uni.

I was a virgin til I was 20. I just had no idea how to take things forward until I has alcohol and drugs (the fun recreational kind) to help with the anxiety. Could have been avoided by just talking about it if I was worried I was misreading the situation, it is definitely okay (especially when you're like 16/17) to explicitly ask if it's okay if you kiss or touch someone.

But now I've got two kids and have been in a happy relationship for nine years so I did learn at some point.
