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!

I would call the man in your first example a sexual molester.
