No kiss after five dates -- should I take it personally?
108418
This guy isn't necessarily shy, but he probably has a somewhat low self-esteem when it comes to girls. He is so worried about if he makes a move on you he will offend you    (Which also means he cares about your feelings).  Most real gentlemen have this problem, especially if he hasn't dated that much previously.  He is probably looking for you to make the first move, or at least looking for a clear signal to make the first move.  Problem is, he's so nervous about it he probably won't see the signals you give him.  Chances are this guy REALLY likes you, but he is really nervous.  You might just tell him that he has nothing to be nervous about.  Or you might have one of your friends or his friends tell him that you are waiting for him to make a move.  Basically, all he needs is some assurance that your not going to slap him and walk away.  \n\nHe is not gay, he keeps asking you out.  If the hug was awkward, he doesn't just want to be friends...  it was awkward because he is nervous.  \n\nYou also might want to enjoy taking it slow.

fortune favors the bold.\n\nyou're single and in your 40s, so you're allowed to be a little easy. You're mature enough to be able to deal with it. It's one of the joys of being a grown-up\n\nMy personal experience would be to make smalltalk, while staying flirtatious, know what options are available, and improvise some sort of date, possibly that night. If the date goes well, make sure that he's a good kisser because at the very least he's gotta be a good kisser ;)

I know!!  Although I do agree on one film with smileydaisy... "50 first dates" was very sweet and romantic...\n\nIt's not just in films though - it's everything, romance is going down the pan!!\n\n-Men no longer hold doors open for you\n\n-You don't "court" any more... You try to get to "second base"...\n\n-You only get flowers on special occassions - not spontaneuosly.\n\n-A romantic kiss nowadays tends to lead to something else... rather than being just that: "a romantic kiss!"\n\n;-)  There are a few of us left....

Sweet dating advice,\n\nFirst this is how I do it.\n\nFirst date you must kiss her to establish a bond on a econic type level this will make the later dates so much easier to deal with.\n\nWhatever you have to do to get at least this type of intamacy from a woman today since their too worldly now to understand anything other than sexuality.

sometimes and sometimes not. some look down on it, but if you both get that feeling and you both see it as okay, why not? as long as you both want to sure. but don't over do it. i wouldn't making out, all over each other w/ groping. that's just a little too much for a first date. a simple little goodnight kiss can be a perfect ending.

ABSOLUTELY.  AS LONG AS YOU ARE BEING HONEST AND LETTING THEM KNOW WHERE YOU STAND, AND AS LONG AS YOU AREN'T BEING INTIMATE WITH ANY OF THEM, THEN IT'S OKAY TO DATE MORE THAN ONE GUY.  \n\nAFTER ALL, ISN'T THAT WHY IT'S CALLED DATING?  \n\nDATING IS ABOUT GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE, TO ESTABLISH COMPATABILITY.  HOW CAN YOU ESTABLISH COMPATABILITY IF YOU NEVER GO OUT WITH DIFFERENT MEN?  \n\nJUST REMEMBER THAT INTAMACY IS COMMITMENT AND A RESPONSIBILITY, NOT ONLY TO YOURSELF, BUT TO THE MAN'S FEELINGS AS WELL. \n\nGOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS.

If you want a long-term relationship, I strongly recommend not going to bed on the first date. This sends a big message to guys that you do this with all guys you date, and many guys don't want to get serious with a girl who has been around the block with everyone. If the date goes well, give him a long kiss goodnight. He'll get the message and come back for more. Then take it from there.

Well if you've been dating for a while than any time would be the perfect time for the first kiss. Your partner is probably just waiting with anticipation. But seriously, do it when the moment is right. Look your loved one right it their eyes and you'll know if it's the right moment or not. Good luck. Hope the first kiss is all you ever wanted it to be.

Never had one!  I have only dated 1 man in my life!!! He asked me out on a date when I was 25.( I had never been on a date before) and we had a great time! We have been together as a couple for almost 8 years and been married for 5 years. And I was a virgin when we got married! I was 28.

For me, no.  My husband was very quick to kiss me and become very serious.  I had just broken up with my previous boyfriend who I had dated for over 3 years, so I was in no mood to move quickly.\n\nThankfully, I hung around to see what it would turn into, and now we're married and expecting.  You never know where that first kiss will lead... give it time.  (And if the first kiss was phenomenal, all the better!)\n\nGood Luck.

Maybe you should consider NOT making out.  But that's not a probable answer.  \n\nI take it you have absolutely no free time on your hands, thus you don't have time to go on a date either...so perhaps you shouldn't have a girlfriend!

I think people kiss either as a friendly gesture or as a sign that you love that person.  If it is the former, it is just touching lightly on the cheek (cheek to cheek) because the other person might not like the idea of your lips touching her cheek.  If it is the latter, it is better for you to wait until you know the other person well enough and that you are sure she has similar feelings for you.  Love doesn't have to be reciprocal but it is a lot more satisfying if it is mutual.  If the other person has no feeling for you, she might find being kissed a bit disgusting.  As for how long it takes to identify whether it is someone worth loving and getting serious about, it depends on your emotional intelligence and the other's personality.  If you both feel a deep connection with each other emotionally and spiritually, then it is a good sign.  Don't let lust rule your head and your heart.  It is demeaning to get physically too close to someone with whom you don't really connect.

I think so. You don't really know him. You know nothing about him. You are attracted to each other because you are both good looking, unless he or you were drunk. You shouldn't kiss the entire first date!

That is a personal question and being such everyone has to answer it individualy.  However its my belief that if you make out on the first date your too in a rush for life and need to slow down and smell the roses.

The first time I asked a guy out we went rollerblading in the park and then went out for a casual dinner. Keep it light and don't try to be all  romantic. Just see how you feel being alone with him the first time. If you keep your date filled with activities you will never run out of stuff to talk about and you won't have those awkward moments people get on first dates when they are all dressed up at some snooty restaurant. Have fun!
