+1 yI think I might be out of the norm but for me kissing usually comes first because holding hands feels so intimate. Plus then everyone sees you as a couple. And that's a big step. You can kiss a guy and people won't automaticallyassume you'rein a relationship but with holding hands they do. (Oh and by kissing I mean on the cheek or pecks on the lips not full on makeout sessions)

+1 yHolding hands, of course. Kissing is much more intimate and I have to build up to that.

Definitely kissing... Kissing is something physical that happens early on to break the ice with someone new it just happens without thinking about it. Holding hands is more intimate and has more emotion and lovee dovee feelings attached to it when I'm more comfortable and know the person on a deeper level

I recently met someone. We have a really good connection. I told her nothing further than holding hands or kissing since we just met. As time went on. We decided to kiss first and hold hands to start building on our physical relationship. Just a simple kiss nothing with our tongues swimming in each others mouths. Every situation is different..
00 ReplyI let her decide when she is comfortable, and maybe she takes my hand, and that makes me smile, thinking she knows she is at least an equal, and I respect that.
Others, maybe a bit more shy, just casually brush against my hand, maybe a few times, and then smile, and so I know to take her hand, as she maybe wants that, from me?02 Reply- +1 y
Why so passive
- +1 y
@That1tallguy I wouldn't say 'passive' but rather 'patient', and willing to wait for her, in her time.
I am a Gentleman, of Olde, and I respect her, and care for her, when I find one I really like. I never want to try to force her into anything she doesn't feel good, or safe doing. She is worth the wait, and the time it takes, dating, and letting her decide she feels comfortable, and trusts me.
Mostly, it is just about respecting her, as a Lady, like a Gentleman should. Sadly, so few real Gentlemen remain. . .
In a day and age where any action can be taken in a negative manner many are nervous to initiate any for of contact i think holding hands is a nice way to start things it says i like you without having to say anything the little by little see where it goes
00 Reply13.4K opinions shared on Dating topic. Depends. Kissing usually happens pretty quickly and may happen first or not. If there no kissng after a couple of dates that probably means there's no interest. But not always. It took a few meetings before my wife and I kissed. But the first kiss lasted an hour..

+1 yHolding hands, ofc. It creates a false and fake sense of intimacy, and then she want to kiss even if she initially wanted to wait for a few more dates. You see, I&ve never been one who likes wasting my time, I need to know asap where this is going,. how. amd why. I don't have time for a kiss on date 4. Holding hands speeds things up, then sex comes earlier, and then you either achieve real intimacy or you realize this just isn't it and you move on to the next.
00 ReplyI personally have to judge which would be appropriate. I personally like to have that first kiss first as the starting point, then holding hands is the sign of commitment. If it happens to go the other way around, the kiss doesn't come very far after.
00 ReplyWhat about hugging, why is this not an option? In my mind it goes as hands, hugs then kisses. Although I usually like to sit side by side very closely then get to kissing from neck.

+1 yHolding hands for sure. You have to know what kind of hands you're gonna be holding for possibly the rest of your life. You don't want to be stuck holding a constantly moist palm, ashy hand, or a very sweaty hand. ( There is a difference between moist palms and sweaty hands)

+1 yHands every time. I wouldn't want to bring it to the higher emotional level of kissing unless we were serious.

+1 yWhatever happens.
For some, holding hands came first.
For others, we were making out long before it even occured to us that fingers can interlock with those of another person.00 ReplyHolding hands for sure comes first. After a while when you feel like the relationship is going somewhere, you can then move in for the First Kiss
