First Date Tonight

I rarely kiss on the first date, the ones that I have started off very hot and heavy but fizzled out rather quickly. I kind of like when there is a little bit of a build up. Plus it's usually awkward, especially if you're in a semi public place.
Yeah, the bar/restaurant we were at..we both parked right in front and there were people milling outside so would defintely have been awkward!
I follow Nike's motto of "Just Do It" on first date kisses and do not worry tremendously about setting. Granted, I'm spending the date assessing how open she is to the kiss, and I won't go for it if I don't get good indicators of interest. But considering how most first dates are in public places and how first dates feel unsatisfying without a kiss, it is good to get it done and have the peace of mind about where things stand.
This is part of why the offline introduction works better than online dating (not sure if Moe's date last night was online sourced), because your first date is really the 2nd time together in person and there's been an uncertainty reduction going into the evening. That's often a better frame of mind for the woman.0 -

Yeah if I'm just meeting someone for coffee or a drink for only an hour or so, that's a little too soon to go in for a kiss. And I don't think of it as unsatisfying at all, my goal for a first date is to see if we have any chemistry and if we want to see each other again, not just to try to get a kiss from someone I barely know. There's nothing wrong with taking things slow and getting to know somebody, but everybody seems do need some kind of reassurance.I follow Nike's motto of "Just Do It" on first date kisses and do not worry tremendously about setting.

I guess I partially agree with DMZ here (maybe a first). I will kiss on the first date if I'm getting the right signals. I really enjoy kissing and feel it gives me a lot more information about a woman than talking ever will. In fact, I kissed my current girlfriend within the first hour of meeting her (she says it was about 20 minutes). When the attraction is there, I almost can't help myself.
I'm glad you found someone you like who likes you back. Enjoy! And, yes, keep us posted.0
