Knotty Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Girls, how many dates would you go on if he didn't move in for a kiss? Assume he said he liked you and was willing to go on another date and pay for the date, so it was only costing you time. And assume you liked him and the dates were fun, but just no kissing, hugging, etc. Guys, after how many dates would you give up if the girl refused to kiss you when you tried to kiss her?

LittleInuit Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Haha, well, it took my boyfriend two months to finally get the courage to kiss me. Link to comment
pinkelephant Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 LOL, I don't know if I should even answer since i might be an anomaly but I usually don't kiss guys until we're official or almost officially together. Link to comment
Ariel85 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 One. If there is no kiss on the second, then there won't be a third. Link to comment
pinkrobot Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I went on--I believe--5 dates with my boyfriend before we kissed. And even then it was just a peck. I was about to go crazy, because I personally LOVE kissing...but mostly it just made me worry about his interest level. Turns out he's just super shy. I wouldn't have put a time limit on it though...nothing like, "If he doesn't kiss me by the 6th date, I'm outta here!" Lol. Link to comment
Himynamesbob Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 One. If there is no kiss on the second, then there won't be a third. Why such a short amount of time? Link to comment
amystar Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I think it's a matter of personal opinion but I would generally say about 2-3 dates. Link to comment
Keyman Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I guess it depends on what kind of kiss you mean. If, on the first date, we've both had a good night, I will give her a peck on the lips as a statement of intent. If she won't let me do that, then I will try again on the second date. If again, then I won't ask her out again. For tonsil tickling snogging... Well, I would say, 3rd or 4th date, although it depends on how reserved we are. But if no snogging by then, then likely the dating aint gonna go anywhere. Link to comment
Kantriakhor Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Never saw a reason to put a time limit on physical expression of intimacy *shrugs*. Not until we're "official" and exclusive. Link to comment
WomanWriter Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Well, when I was younger...it didn't matter how long, it just couldn't be right away. I don't know now, but I would like to only kiss if things were getting pretty serious. I don't kiss strangers or practical strangers. If we've known each other as friends for quite some time, it doesn't matter what date. My ex kissed me on our second date, but then again we had been friends for 4 months before that and really cared for each other and wanted to go 'steady' and make a commitment. So that was different. But if it's just some guy I don't know, I think 2 dates is too soon! I don't even know more than the basics of the person and we're already exchanging body fluids? NO WAY. Too intimate to me. I would want to know you for quite some time, regardless of the date. If you work together or have mutual friends, I think it's OK to move faster. But a complete stranger is kind of gross. I just don't feel safe with that. Link to comment
tastytoothpaste Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 If he's really great and things feel like they're moving forward, I can be patient and wait. In fact I'd like the guy to move slowly because I'm tired of guys trying to go far on the first date. But by the third date if there is still no kiss at all, I might get a little impatient. Like I said, if the chemistry is right and things are going really well I can wait for longer. Link to comment
Raistlin Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 If a girl stopped seeing me because I wasn't getting the right vibe from her after the 2nd date to kiss her, I don't think I lost anything. I base my moves completely off the vibe I get from the girl. If she seems interested and I feel things are going well, I go for a good night kiss on the first date. If it's a bit timid, I'll wait until the 2nd and feel it out as it goes. I have been on dates with girls that seemed very distant and uninterested, then told ME they wanted to not see me anymore because I didn't make a move. .... Sorry, but if you're uninterested, it's not worth getting slapped. Link to comment
jenny_mcs Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 One. If there is no kiss on the second, then there won't be a third. I would give it one more than that- I would give it till the end of the 3rd date. Link to comment
Knotty Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Perhaps someone (like the OP for example) should define kissing exactly. It seems to be running the whole gamut between a peck 'n cuddle right up to body fluid exchange. Wow. Kissing is when the lips make contact. lol. But I guess I mean a kiss that at least lasts for a few seconds so it's definitely a romantic gesture and not just a friendly gesture like kissing a parent. I ask because the first kiss seems to be a defining moment in many relationships. It's when many women decide how much they like the guy, and women gauge how much he likes her by the kiss. Many people don't want to waste time dating someone if they don't think it's going anywhere, so they will give up and go out with someone else that seems to like them more. Link to comment
thejigsup Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Heck, if we aren't having sex within a month, I'm outta there! Kissing, 2 or 3 dates, if that long. I hate guys with sexual hangups. I just don't gel with them. If you like shy guys, then you do what is right for you. I believe in the saying, "to each their own." Link to comment
shikashika Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 If there's no kiss... I wouldn't really call it a date! so first or second date! Link to comment
ScorpiGal83 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 If I was on a blind date or going on dates with a guy I just met, then i would give it more time, like 4 or 5 dates (or more) depending on the guy... but if it's someone I met like, say a month ago and we just started going out and it's clear we REALLY like each other, I'll be expecting a kiss by the 3rd date tops. If he doesn't try to kiss me by then, I'll take matters into my own hands! Link to comment

But if I am not trying to kiss you at some stage on the first date, then either you are butt ugly, or the guy is gay. I mean - even the most "nervous" type of guy should make at least some bumbling effort to peck you on the lips before the date ends. Link to comment

ghost69 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 sometime during the first date if i'm feeling the girl. Link to comment
COtuner Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Haha, well, it took my boyfriend two months to finally get the courage to kiss me. Mine took almost 3 months. Link to comment
COtuner Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 As to the OP question: I have zero expectations. It all depends on our chemistry and our comfort level, and whatever else is in the picture. It happens when it happens. Unless the guy tries to plant one in the first 10 minutes, I generally don't really have any time constraints. Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I would go on any number of dates as long as I felt a connection and he seemed into me. Some boys are just down right shy. I won't punish them for it. I've made the first move before...I like it well enough. Link to comment
dragon lady Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 If I like him, then I'd expect a kiss on the first date. If it didn't go so well, then there would be no kiss, nor a second date. I'm not interested in waiting for 2 months to kiss someone. That's a waste of time, in my opinion. Link to comment

Usually I get kissed on the second date, sometimes the first. I would probably wait until the third date and if at that point I am confident that he really likes me I'd probably make the move myself...hasn't come to that yet though lol. Link to comment
