Read the following scenario and answer the following questions:
"Chu and Alex have had crushes on each other for ages. One day, Chu invites Alex over to hang out. They end up making out. Chu starts to unbutton Alex's pants. Alex really likes Chu, but isn't ready to move that fast. Not wanting to hurt Chu's feelings, Alex tries to push Chu's hands away, but keeps kissing, hoping to send the message that "making out is cool, but not anything more right now." Chu thinks Alex is playing "hard-to-get" and is really turned on. Plus, Chu expects Alex to just say "no" or "stop" if something isn't ok. So, Chu continues. The next day, Alex feels really uncomfortable with what happened." The purpose of the discussion is to determine what went wrong in the scenario and to brainstorm how things could have gone better. The point is not to place blame on either of the characters in the scenario.
