Example:

Karen's boyfriend and she have been having sex for about four months. It is not something they talked about or made a decision about. It was just something each thought the other wanted and expected. He had been hitting-on her for a few weeks and one thing lead to another. Neither of them wanted to have a hassle in their relationship so that is the way it was.

"Do you want to party?" Karen thought she knew what he was asking but was not sure. She said, "Well, I don't know. Do you?" He said, "Sure, if you do." Karen did not want to seem like whatever he might think she was so she said, "Well, okay. Sure. Let's party."

"Drink up, it's only beer. Beer is nothing. I can get us some good stuff. Have you ever had a joint?"
