    Default what term would you use?

    Hello everyone,

    What's the best term to describe someone who is daring and/or doesn't understand people's reaction ?

    Example 1: A guy kisses a girl whom he does not know in public.
    Example 2: A guy asks a girl out as soon as he first meets her.
    Example 3: a guy asks a girl out, although she's giving him hints that she's not interested in him, but he still does.

    If the examples given imply different terms, please give a term for each one.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you think these actions were definitely good you could say he was "brave"(adj)

    But I think one of these would be more suitable, "spontaneous, "head strong" or "impulsive"(adj) all mean that he doesn't think about actions he just does them and quickly.

    Hope that helps!
