Going out together on a date is an entirely different situation. You've both already decided there's some interest in one another, and presumably with the date going well and a bit sense in reading the other person's feeling, explicit permission obviously may not be necessary. And you probably still wouldn't do a surprise sneak-attack kiss in a very public setting.
