Ask
There are so many ways to not ask for what you want. The long list may begin with telepathy, hinting, offering, assuming, arguing, sulking, blaming, guilt tripping. There’s so many more, add your own deception or shyness. Why, and what do you do instead? Be virtuous, cheat, withdraw, refuse, be sneaky, steal touch, expect entitlement? Seriously, it’s easier, more fun & liberating to go on a Wheel of Consent course than continue all the failing strategies for the next decade.
