I don't know if anyone will believe me that I'm asking in good faith. But I still think that sentence, as written, could describe a wide range of situations. If it went like:

    A: Firmly: "You need to leave. Now."
    B: Shoves A's body multiple times until she is in the opposite corner of the room. Presses his lips to her face without hesitation.
I would be mad as A. But if the scenario went more like:

    A: "I'm tired and it's late. You really gotta go, sorry."
    (A and B walk to the door. There is a sofa by the door.)
    B: Leans body toward A's.
    A: Takes a step back. Is now up against the sofa and the wall.
    B: Puts hand on A's shoulder and leans in slowly for a kiss.
    A: Refuses kiss.
Here as person A I would simply brush B off as an aggressive suitor, unless the two aggravating circumstances I mentioned above were in play. Please tell me if that is unfair.
