I fear you would look like "
one of those asses" pretty soon when
NOT asking questions.
You should ask questions. Anywhere, anytime, to anyone. Even and especially to your partner.
Asking questions is a sign of intelligence, it shows that you are eager to learn, to become more experienced. It's not a sign of weakness, but one of strength.
Of strength because it shows you're not afraid to take responsabilities to a higher level through the knowledge of who, what, why, how and when...
