Do you typically kiss on the first date? I know each situation is a bit different, of course. But, in general, are you ok kissing on the first date if things go well? And is it typically just a peck goodnight, with a hug? Or is it all out smoosh-faced kissing?

And GUYS - do you expect to kiss on the first date? Or just the type of thing where you hope for it but don't expect it?

    No, I don't... and unless I feel comfortable with him, I won't kiss him on the 2nd date either. Now by 3rd date (if there is a 3rd date), then a kiss will happen assuming I'm on a 3rd date with him because I like him and feel comfortable with him.

    I think I just like kissing too much!
    Yes, on the first date if things go well. Not usually an all-out-makeout session... but likely more than a small peck.

    Yes, no problem. I can't believe we are talking about kissing here. Is this not kids stuff?? Sorry, but I've been snogging guys since I was 11 years old!!! :laugh:

    Different culture maybe.......hmm! :flowerforyou:

    I absolutely LOVE kissing, and if a guy can kiss like I like to, I'm usually smitten! :love:

    I guess it would depend on how much I liked him and how comfortable I was with him, also if he made the move to kiss me, I wouldn't initiate it.

    - "Do you typically kiss on the first date?" Yep.
    - "I know each situation is a bit different, of course." No, because I'm that awesome. So the above always applies.
    - "And is it typically just a peck goodnight, with a hug? Or is it all out smoosh-faced kissing?" I go deep. French kiss.
    - "And GUYS - do you expect to kiss on the first date?" No (because I might not like the girl), but I try my best to make it happen if I end up wanting to kiss the girl (i.e. I like the girl).
    - "Or just the type of thing where you hope for it but don't expect it?" If I hope for it and don't get it, I failed... So no more dates after that (OK maybe not, but I'd be gutted).

    I (foolishly?) believe I'm actually a pretty good kisser...

    I go in expecting only a hug. If she's frisky, and I'm into her, then let's get it on!!!

    Kissing... yea why not...

    I've done more than that on a first date... and then we were together for two years... in way over our heads completely in love... :heart:

    I think it's all about chemistry... if it's there it's there.

    Do you typically kiss on the first date?

    Yes, the plan is to. Some first kisses have been more passionate than others. More intensity is better.

    I only kiss if I get appropriate buying signals. I only go in if I see enough interest. Nothing worse than going for the kiss and having her turn away.

    A no kiss first date doesn't mean that I won't contact the person afterwards, but I'm not thrilled about it. If other things were good, I'll call her back and try to set something up. I would hope that there would be a kiss on the 2nd date.

    At a minimum, I would like at least a small peck on the lips, and even that isn't a 100% indicator of a high interest level in me.

    Neat to see the guy's point of view... if it's a first date with someone I don't really know, like we met at the store or online, if he goes in for a kiss -especially deep- on the first date there will not be a second. But if I've already known him for a while before (say we were friends or volunteered together) that's different.

    So it's interesting to me to see that for many of the guys no kiss on the first date will mean they are less likely to initiate a second.

    If the date goes well and I am into the girl I would like to it but I don't expect it .
  • I've never really dated but if I had just met him, I think I would be up for a small kiss (assuming I liked him).

    Now, if we had spent time getting to know each other with phone calls and texting, then met up, I would be ready to pin him down and plant one on him myself! lol

    Pretty much this. It's easy to set rules and timelines for yourself, but sometimes that all gets tossed right out the window if the chemistry is there!

    I think a hug and a kiss on the cheek is just about perfect for a first date if I don't know the guy that well, but it's been a good date. That said, I don't have a no first date kiss rule. If the guy goes in for one and I like him, I'll gladly accept. I've only had a couple of guys try for it and both I accepted, lol. One was pretty recent (last week or so) and it was kind of a makeout kiss, lol :blushing: .

    A guy can't go into a date with any expectations at all (except good food if he picked a decent restaurant). You have to feel the situation out and pick a moment. That moment might not be until the second or third date. The first kiss is very important for a number of reasons. It tells you if there is chemistry, it shows how much passion a person is capable of, and as a result, most people put a lot of emphasis on how well the first kiss went.

    I'll say this to the women: Go ahead and set your rules, play by them. When he sees you're playing game rather than seriously open to him as a future mate, he'll start playing the game. Then you can spend hours upon hours trying to interpret his moves and motives. OR You can be open to the idea that passion and love come to those who are open to it. A willingness to kiss clearly demonstrates you like him. Let things flow and take their natural course and you'll be much happier.

    Kissing on the first date is totally acceptable, if it is a proper date and not just coffee or lunch. It can be a nice way to end an awesome date, but why do some people try to kiss at the end of an awful and awkward date?

    Wow.. a realist.. and a wealth of insight. I like you! Thanks!

    Kissing on a first day. Hmmmm. Not to sound like a total slut but I've done the deed on a first date so kissing seems like kids play. And I will go on to say that kissing someone you really really like is WAY better then having sex with someone just to have it.

    If its a first date I try to keep it above the waist. It's a good goal to have.

    I'm a walking contradiction. I love kissing - Love, love love. . However, I rarely kiss on the first date. I guess I figure I don't know the person well enough to even know if I like them at that point. The exception to this rule is if I've had one too many martinis (which would be two). . . Booze makes uptight girls much more amenable. It's a good thing I don't drink often.

    Second date kissing is all good, though. Occasionally I'll instigate - Usually I don't have to.

    I think I've never kissed on a first date. If I was comfortable with the guy, I did give him a hug. Or more like they offered a hug before leaving :smile:

    Okay so after my last date I figured out I'm a 2nd date kisser. Kissing has happened in all my 2nd dates since starting to date this time around. :smooched:

    Personally, I look at kissing on a first date like this... I go into it with no expectations. If I like a guy, he likes me and there is enough attraction and chemistry to kiss on the first date the let him move in and go for it. If it does not happen then no worries. Although sometimes if I kiss someone and they are not a good kisser it kills it for me...
