Or he could put an arm around her, or lean in for a kiss, or whatever.

Are you saying those things don't require consent? Because I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people out there who would roast your ass on a spit for trying that without asking for permission first.

Context matters dude. If your girlfriend ask for explicit consent before you hug her, you're in an abusive relationship.

Are these people in the room with us now?

Seriously, I don't think those people actually exist. And if they do, I'm going to continue to ignore them and not ask permission every time I kiss or touch my partner, who will continue to do likewise to me.
