Step 1 · Learn · Respect Boundaries
Consent is a habit, not a moment
Make asking a habit rather than a single moment. · About 7 minutes.
Asking is not awkward once you practice it. Assuming is what creates awkwardness, and worse.
Ask about plans, timing, touch, and space. Watch for a real yes, not a polite one.
Keep asking as things change. A yes earlier is not a yes forever.

Write It Out, Then Hear It Back
If it helps, take a few minutes to write privately in your own notebook. Reading your words out loud can help you slow down, hear your thoughts more clearly, and decide what matters most before you respond.
Private Notebook
Prompts only — nothing is typed or stored in Steady.
