Ok then then you could give a little more time and if it's still the same then just ask him straight up why he doesn't want to kiss you. There are a few scenarios. No. 1 he says he's terrified or very shy and didn't know if you'd be comfortable or something like that. No. 2 That he doesn't want to because he's not interested (not very likely I think) No. 3 He'll feel uncomfortable and talk bullshit so basically afraid to straight up say no. 2
Honestly I don't know how I'd react in such a situation since I've never been in such a situation, but this guy is older so he should have been in such a situation before.
I would just stop trying to kiss him and let him get there on his own time. Some people move more slowly in relationships. Doesn't mean he doesn't like you necessarily. Actually if he's hugging you he probably does like you a decent amount.
Aha he is playing it nice! Hold up and start playing it back. Next time when he tries to give you a peck, be ready and run your finger near his hand or the palm. But ya don play desperate to scare him off.
Ask him what's going on, whether you're friends or more. And then if more is the option chosen explain that he hasn't kissed you or you could make the first move, don't always wait for guys, if you want something go for it
He may be one of those rare, respectful type of guys. you may make him nervous... Don't overthink it. If he is still asking you out on dates he is interested. My ex-husband didn't try to kiss me our first few dates and then we were married 1 year later. Granted he is my ex now; lol; but it was great while it lasted.
Some guys do go slow, especially when so many girls are so quick to make false accusations that can destroy a man's life and career. If you want him to kiss you, give him some body language "telling" him so. You girls know how this is done.
It's hard to say... How long have you guys talked before going on the first date? If it hasn't been that long, it could still be in the "getting to know each other" stage and he's just taking it slow, wanting a solid friendship to build on.
It could be has just old fashioned or maybe he doesn't feel the moment was right not everyone goes by the three date rule either way you're never going to know for sure unless you ask him out right

He could be just slower than other guys at it or trying to be a gentleman and not move to fast but yeah 4th date maybe you should just kiss him if he doesn't and see how he responds to it , we are usually trying to have sex on the third date already for most guys
That is a toughie - I would be inclined to suggest honesty and advise that you say you like him and want to take things further then see how he reacts.
I find it strange that he didn't even kiss your cheek back but if you like him go out with him again, maybe dinner? and when he drives you home ask him aren't you gonna kiss me goodnight? 😘 :p
He likes you. He doesn't want you to feel he is moving too fast. Woman up. Kiss him first. If he doesn't kiss you back, then move on. I am slow to kiss when I am nervous around a woman I like, regardless of how good a time we have.
I mean, he could be shy but seeing your ages you'd think he'd have at least somewhat dating experience. But then again, i'd expect a 29 yo woman to be able to ask a guy if he likes her.
You are rapidly putting yourself into the friend zone. At the end of the first date you were supposed to give him a BJ. The next time you two are together alone, reach over and under his parents and do what you should have done 3 dates earlier.
Don't rush into making decision. He sounds like a gentleman and wants to earn your respect and its has only been 3 dates and he is still planning to go further which is a good sign. Wish you good luck and i hope he is the right one for you.

It is entirely likely that he likes you so much he's deathly afraid of making a move at the wrong time and offending you.
exactly, that happened to me
when you truly begin to like seomeone you sometimes are afraid of screw it up
You could just kiss him. It's common fucking sense. You obviously wanna kiss him, so just kiss him !!!
I'm trying to but he keeps moving his head away. This shouldn't be this hard which is why I'm asking if I should just give up.

Some men seem to be deathly afraid of the women. Half of your gender actually think all men are rapists. [shrug]
On update...
My crystal ball says you'll become completely bored to tears with this guy.
He is being patient and gentle.. All you need to do is ask 4 it or you go for it.

Dude you ain't lying and some just give it up on the first.
@darklandrunner Yeah it happens, but I think this guy is just taking it slow

Maybe he's just not feeling it yet. Doesn't mean he doesn't like you, he could just feel like taking it slow.

watch out mate. not everyone understands sarcasm
@AmyShadowhunter "under his parents". Stupid voice recognition! That was supposed to say unzip his pants.
nonetheless.. ur use of sarcasm obviously isn't being appreciated 😂

Funny enough if you read the question I just posted I'm coming from the exact opposite side of this situation lol
