Navigating the dating world and figuring out the "right" time for a first kiss is definitely one of those "how long is a piece of string?" questions. Truth is, there's no one-size-fits-all answer, as it really depends on the connection between the two people and what feels right for them.
Some folks are all about that spark and might go in for a kiss on the first date if the vibes are right. It's like, "Hey, we're both feeling this, let's see where it goes!" On the flip side, others might prefer to wait until the 3rd or 4th date, or even longer, especially if they're taking things slow and really want to build a strong emotional connection first. It's like simmering a good stew, you know? Gives you time to savor the flavors before diving in.
Personally, I think it's all about reading the room (or, in this case, your date). If there's mutual interest and you're both comfortable, a first date kiss could be a beautiful start to something new. But if either of you prefers to wait, that's totally cool too. Building anticipation can be pretty exciting in its own way.
So, would I kiss on the first date? If the moment felt right and there was a mutual connection, sure, why not? But there's also something to be said for waiting until the 3rd or 4th date, allowing that tension and excitement to build up. It's all about what feels right for you and your date.
The number of dates required before a relationship is formally recognized might differ significantly depending on personal preferences and circumstances. There is no set method because every person's journey is different. It may take longer for some people to build trust and compatibility than it does for others to feel a deep connection.
It's critical to be honest about your sentiments and objectives with your prospective spouse. Spend some time getting to know one another better, and when you both feel ready, the topic of exclusivity and commitment will inevitably come up. There's no rush; allow the connection to develop naturally and make sure that everyone is on the same page before making it official.
Every couple has a different first kissing schedule, but it should always feel comfortable and natural. There is no set guideline or precise time; rather, it depends on how comfortable and connected both parties are. Observe the environment and one another's body language for hints. Go for it when the time is right, but always respect one another's boundaries.
The number of dates before kissing is subjective and depends on the individuals involved. Some may feel a strong connection early on and share a kiss after just a few dates, while others might prefer to take things slower and get to know each other better before being physically intimate. The key is to communicate openly with your partner, gauge each other's comfort levels, and respect boundaries. Let the relationship develop naturally, and when the moment feels right for both of you, a kiss can become a meaningful expression of affection and attraction. Remember, there's no rush; trust your instincts and enjoy the journey together.
Yes, it's okay to kiss on the first date if both individuals feel comfortable and consenting. Some people may prefer to establish a deeper connection before being physically affectionate, while others may have an instant connection and choose to express it through a kiss. The key is to be respectful of each other's boundaries and communicate openly about your feelings. There's no right or wrong answer; it depends on the individuals involved and what feels right for them at that particular moment.
The first kiss with your lover should be a memorable and special moment, reflecting the emotional connection you both share. Take it slowly and allow the moment to unfold naturally. Look into each other's eyes, and if you sense the right atmosphere and mutual desire, lean in gently. Ensure you both feel comfortable and consenting, as communication is crucial. A tender and respectful first kiss can deepen your bond and set the tone for your relationship. Remember, there's no rush; let your feelings guide you, and savor the sweetness of this intimate milestone together.
Phoenix1991 hit it on the head, I think. When you first go out with a person, you're just getting to know them as a person and don't know how much of a future you'll want with them romantically. That being said, I don't think a kiss should happen on the first couple of dates, aside from a peck on the cheek. The cheek kiss can be used for anyone, from your friend to your grandma. Until you think you may actually want to start a relationship with that person/date them exclusively, there shouldn't be any kissing, unless it's the friendly peck on the cheek. People rush too much with kissing, like they think it has to be done. Chances are that if you do it too soon, at least one person there isn't completely comfortable with it. This is only my idea of how kissing should happen. In reality, people are in too much of a hurry and rush such physical things.
definitely by the second date if not at the end of the first one. I've always wanted that walk up to the door with a guy, end of the first date and you had a really nice time, and he leans in to kiss you leaving you something to think about when you go to bed. Just a short one, but nice none the less. It also tells you if you have chemistry with him, and if he's a good kisser, and will be able to be there physically and mentally on the same page. All important things to find out. If the date goes poorly, no kiss on the first date, and probably no call back. However, if the date is so-so there will either be a hug, or a let's do this again some time, but not kiss.
depends on how long youve known them beforehand and how well the date went and how attratced you are to each other.
me & my boyfriend kissed on the first date, we had been talking for several months before that and our first date was amazing (lots of laughter & chemistry) and we've been together over a year now.
but to be a gentleman, kiss on the 2nd date. if its longer then that she may think your uninterested.
talkign about it and being in the heat of the moment are two different situations tho.
but good luck! :)
I've waited as long as five dates to kiss a girl. Sometimes you just don't know if you like her yet or not. It takes time to determine if there's anything more there than physical attraction. There's no point leading her on to think you fancy her if you're not sure about her personality yet.
1st date - no kissing.
2nd date- light peck on the cheek at the end of the night.
3rd date- 5 second light kiss on their lips.
by then, I would go with whatever pace she desires.

u I don't want to take things THAT slow!
At the end of a first date, if I feel that there is mutual attraction, I will give a girl a goodnight kiss on the lips, but no tonsil-probing tongue action at all. If I think it is too early, I will wait until the end of the second date. If she doesn't want to kiss by the end of the second date, I will probably conclude that I am wasting my time.
Before I take her any place I'm going to kiss her because I want to know everything about her and in that first kiss that tells you so much it's just like looking into a girl's eyes
First it's the eyes then it's the kiss
And if both are good is when you are light-headed you're dizzy you're not yourself and you say hey I'm going to be doing this this weekend would you like to come with me blah blah blah or just whatever and that's where it starts
A nice goodnight kiss at the end of the first date... let's your date know you're interested in them.
First if there is clear mutual attraction, otherwise the second one
there isn't a set date or time period its the mood and the atmosphere that make the moment for me. In that second it just feels right... so I guess I just wait til I feel comfortable with him, however long or short that could take. And then there is that moment when I catch his eye, it goes quiet, and its almost feels like our faces are being pulled together by invisible magnets... and then we kiss :)
There should be no predetermined amount of dates that will make it socially acceptable to kiss or not. It is just a matter of how much attraction is there and a little bit of taking a risk. My current girlfriend actually made the first move to kiss me on our first date. Needless to say we were attracted to each other and enjoyed our first date very much..
Its not about a number, its about being attentive to the chemistry or lack thereof. Chemistry is immediate, that doesn't mean you go in right away, it means you play it by ear and the situation should determine that first kiss not an arbitrary number. Of there's chemistry and it doesn't happen when you want it to, you need to be patient.
If you eat dinner barely talk and play on your phone all night and go in for one at the end, expect an open palm comin in hot on your cheek 😂
Dating takes work and patience, but being in the moment and being attentive to body language and things like that will tell you when to make that move. Just like you will not be promoted to manager by the end of your first week, don’t expect things to move forward without effort and work…
I normally wait until the 3rd date before I actually kiss someone
The first is the "get to know the person" date. This way, I can decide if I want to take a second date or not. If I kiss on the first date & I'm not interested, it sends the wrong message.
I've only kissed two people.
One, I was trying to get over my ex and I worked with him. Really regret it. So date 1?
My ex, it was the second time we ever met haha.
*feels like a slag* promise I'm not a whore, I just love my ex and the other guy I was thinking stupidly.
1st date always the 1st date, unless of course you don't want to go on another date with her. If your younger then 18 I don't know couple of dates I guess, chances are you will see her multiple times in school.
I have always kissed a chick on the first date, and every single time it has gotten me a second date, and even further, the one time I didn't I never got a second date.
You can start making out in 10 minutes after meeting a girl. There are no dates needed. Usually you want to put in the time (even if she is ready to be kissed) first, if you want a relationship. But don't be dogmatic about it. Forget all that number of dates thing and just gauge her comfort level and go as far as she is comfortable with going.
If you and the person you're dating are both feeling an attraction, go ahead and kiss on the first date. If you're trying to take it slow, look for the signals he/she is giving off. There are some people that don't want to get physical (even just kissing) until you're more established... and that's ok. There's no guidelines to say when the perfect time is for that first kiss.
Mine was during date #1... and then again at the end when I took her home. Kissing her is the most natural thing in the world now. You will know when the time is right.
If you feel it you feel it. If you don't then you don't. If I have a good feeling that I don't want to kiss her there would be no reason for a 2nd date anyway. I usually know the 1st date and will kiss her. Sometimes I like the wait and enjoy drawing it out but rarely would it wait till the 3rd date or further.
Kiss on the first date then you know if they're a terrible kisser and not to waste your time with someone who drools into your mouth 🤢
It sucks so much spending a few weeks getting to know someone and it's all going great and then you kiss and boom sparks gone. It's mediocre at best. Had a dude I went on a few dates with immediately shove his tongue in my mouth. 🤢 Gah damn no.
I think depends on both...sometimes people are not looking for the same thing...that's the problem...can be only physical attraction, but you never know! If you are meant to be together, you will be together! :)
ive only been in a relationship with one guy before (3 yrs) and I kissed on our first date. I don't know if I would do it again, it would all depend on how strong my feelings were and how comfortable I felt.
Oh yeah? And if she wants you to kiss her on a first date (you kinda recognize that, for example), so you tell her what? - Sorry i am taking it seriously, i am not ready yet and bla bla... What will she think about you? There are no specific standards, you act upon situation. Women like when everything is upon situation (it should seem to them so, even when you've planned and set up everything).
I'd like to add my opinion. I think it depends on the moment and how you feel about each other, but it's better not to wait too long. Being physical is important (to me and it's gotta be to my partner just as much).
Ideally, the kiss would happen on the end of the first date or definitely during the second date. A simple 5 second kiss at the very least, ideally something more passionate.
Generally speaking I allow the lady to show me how she is with me via her body language. While I look her into her eyes and just smile. Even then, I wait for her to make the first move. All I can do is manage my side of the street until that moment happens.
If there is a strong attraction to each other then first date is fine. Now if go on the date with a dude two times and he never kiss me then I don't think he is attract to me.
