Make sure both people are adults and sober enough to consent
Choose a private, comfortable moment
Be direct and respectful
Ask clearly, without pressure
Give them room to say yes or no
Accept their answer immediately
If they hesitate, take that as a no for now
Keep the tone calm and considerate
Example: “Would you like to have sex with me?”
Example: “I’m attracted to you. Are you interested in taking things further?”
Example: “Would you be open to having sex tonight?”
If they say no, respond politely and move on
If they say yes, discuss boundaries and protection
