It means that you most likely need professional evaluation and an appropriate help. You seem to struggle to understand how relationship works.
Back to your question:
In a healthy relationship, it's still necessary to ask for permission, check in with your partner, and respectfully accept "no" as an answer. If you feel uncomfortable in the moment, you always have the right to stop, even if you previously agreed.
Nonverbal cues like smiling, maintaining eye contact, and nodding can express "enthusiastic consent", but these cues alone do not necessarily represent consent. However, these cues are additional details that may reflect consent, and it is necessary to still seek verbal confirmation.

Is there something you don't understand, OP?
I resent the suggestion that I need professional help because of a simple proposal for discussion. I appreciate your input, but you could have left that out.

What do you want to know, OP? That you need to ask a woman before you initiate a kiss or physical intimacy of anykind? You could, but most people don't. They just read the room so to speak. Most people can tell by body language if their approaches are wanted or not. If that's not something you can tell, you can try just asking.

Considering your recent threads which all evolve around the same question - there is something off.
l dunno op.
The fact that you even ask just means you don't know her at all and so shouldn't be even trying yet.
I really wish you people would stop assuming things that are clearly not expressed or even implied in my postings. Try engaging the content instead. This isn't about me. If you're going to be lazy and assume stuff like this then I'd rather you not reply at all.
Regarding physical intimacy, much has been made of the notion of consent. In particular, there is the idea that consent has to be "enthusiastically" given at every stage of the process of physical intimacy and can be revoked at any time. Moreover, according to this idea, consent cannot be rendered while one is under the influence or otherwise incapacitated, and that the lack of a 'no' does not equate to 'yes.'
The thing I find interesting about this particular notion of consent is that 'no' can be implied by body language, lack of expressed interest in continuing the act, etc. without needing to be verbalized. On the flip side, can a 'yes' also be implied? That is to say, while in the process of intimacy, are body language and other non-verbal cues that imply the desire to continue engaging in the intimate act given the same status as an implied 'no'?
What are you really asking here, how to get laid without being accused of rape, or...??

Its common sense. If she agrees to go to your place, a lone, and spend the night, in your bed, obviously she is open to intimacy.
If any of those is a no, then she is not.
This isn't rocket science. It's called common sense.
These are unfair assumptions, tantamount to personal attacks. I would appreciate a more civil attempt at engaging this thread. What specifically do you have an issue with in terms of the content I just posted here?
The same as everyone else who answered to your question. Something is off.
