In my time I've never had to ask a girl if I could kiss them and I've never been left embarrassed either, all done on body language and instinct, besides they were all begging for it!
Correct, the link in OP is not about the quick peck(s) on the cheek and/or embrace as a form of greeting. Some have already said they find even that an invasion of their personal space, a view I don't share, but willingly respect.
The article is about whether an unwanted kiss can be a form of sexual assault. As the Nigel Evans case is mentioned in the first few paragraphs, if there are any around I'd like to ask this question to the heterosexual males on here.
In a social setting, if another man approached you and without further preamble gave you a long lingering kiss on the lips, what would be your first reaction, would you find it offensive?
As the article also touches on harrassment in the workplace and is not gender specific, I have a subsidiary question.
Would you be more inclined to grin and bear it if the other man was your boss/superior at work, would you complain or deal with it another way?
