Does a guy have to ask for verbal consent before touching a girls hand on a date?

[MCheetah]

If you have to "ask a girl for consent," she's already turned-off by you enough that you might as well not even bother. Contrary to what retarded feminists think, MOST of attraction and intimacy are non-verbal cues. Verbal "consent" is not required, but common sense and an understanding of body language IS.

[OmNomaly]

I'd personally either let her make the first move or bring it up.

Less serious than touching someone somewhere else. But nontheless I feel like it's an invasion of personal space. I'm not going to make the leap and make shit awkward.

The hand? Definitely not... However, before you head “down-town” you might want to at least drop her a text to she if she wants t go there too!

[ThatQuietLass]

I mean, no. But to be very aware of if they seem uncomfortable with that touch or not.

[Celtero]

Only if you're dating a feminist.

For normal people, she can just avoid your hand or say "no thanks" if she doesn't feel like holding your hand.

[lonron]

No, but do kinda scope out the situation, like kinda barely touch her hand with your fingers and then she might reciprocate, and if she doesn't pull away go for holding her hand.

[Astarlessnightsky]

There are non-verbal signs if this is okay. eg If she pulls her hand away thats a no. If she leaves it, thats a yes.

[Rexos]

Doesn't have to be verbal, but there does need to be consent.

[DavidFox]

When she agreed to meet you for the date she gave consent to hand holding.

[Anonymous]

In the current false female victim climate you meed to ask permission to even think about the concept of considering the idea of possibly asking if you can hold hands, or the assholes will have you for rape.

[OddBeMe]

Ummm, no... but there’s context. Same for a first kiss. I think leaning in is asking for consent. You’re not grabbing her or whatever.

[Twinrova]

Yes, if he doesn't want to end up in jail, that is.

[Doflamingo1]

If she is a feminist be prepared for a sexual assault case

If he does, he's with the wrong date. Heavens NO!
