Author, healthy dating expert to speak

Before you kiss someone, do you ask? Author and healthy dating expert Mike Domitrz says asking before kissing means giving your partner respect.

Known for his humorous, interactive approach to dating, consent and sexual assault awareness, Domitrz will appear at Grand Valley State University on Wednesday, November 1, at 7 p.m. in the Cook-DeWitt Center on the Allendale Campus. His presentation, "Can I Kiss You?" is sponsored by GVSU's Women's Center.

The author of two books, "May I Kiss You?" and "Voices of Courage: Inspiration from Survivors of Sexual Assault," Domitrz began his public speaking career after his sister was raped in 1989. Domitrz said he began researching sexual assault and was overwhelmed by the number of people who said, "My child would never do that." He created a humorous one-man show with a message and began speaking in secondary schools and colleges across the country.
