+1 yIn reality it’s a bit of both, however I don’t always turn round and ask if I may kiss them, although I have in the past, it’s been more of the ‘may I kiss my fair lady’ type of thing.
I firmly believe in flirting and teasing enough so that she is the one doing the kissing.
Eyes tell a lot in these situations, as does the conversation that is happening around this, it’s reading the person, how she is etc, some girls I will 100% ask, others I will be able to gauge them on body language, eyes, their smile, lips, tongue, flush of neck, etc. Ideal situation though is they are kissing me, rather than me doing the work lol.00 Reply

It all depends honestly on things like culture, location, and most of all the individual themselves because the background varies for people with their comfort levels and boundaries. Because so many women have past traumas of abuse in society I'd honestly side with asking her and being open about your desires to kiss her when you're in that moment. It's not a mood killer in most situations so you're better off showing her your care for her comfort and wellbeing by asking. This is with someone where you're testing the waters because if you've known and been in some sort of relationship with the person you'll be better at reading into their signals and preferences and their comfort levels with you in that situation.

+1 yKind of depends on the woman. Some women maybe be super interested in you and show the signs, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s ready to kiss you and then there’s the women that doesn’t mind at all. Personally, I don’t think asking would ruin the moment. If anything to me, it would be a sign of respect and that the guy is prioritizing my level of comfortability. She will trust you. Ask her :)

If I'm unsure, I don't really ask rather than say "I'd really like to kiss you right now" and then gage her reaction. A direct question leads to the option of her saying no and being awkward.00 Reply

Anonymous(25-29)+1 yI would rather for a kiss my date read the cues and kiss me. I always felt asking for a kiss is awkward and spoils the mood. Guys read the signs. If I didn’t want you to kiss me than I would politely say no or back up. Now for sex I feel that consent is always necessary. I think it’s hot and extremely considerate or polite when guys say like
“Are you sure?” Or “ Is this what you really want?”
So hot.
But I don’t mean ask literally every time. If you have had sex with me once than don’t ask. I wouldn’t go back for seconds if I didn’t want it.10 Reply- 678 opinions shared on Dating topic.
+1 yI'd rather be asked. If it ruins the mood it's because there wasn't anything there. If you really like someone and they ask to kiss you you say yes

Good rule if thumb there
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yIt ruins the mood for me when guys assume. I would prefer a man to ask me and then allow me to say yes or no without taking it personally. I really liked a guy a lot and he asked to kiss me on our first date and I said no because I wasn’t ready to have my first kiss with a guy I just met even though I liked him a lot. Later he asked why I said no and when I explained that I never kissed anybody before he seemed to understand that it had nothing to do with him and everything to do with me. I was worried I would not do a good job, I also had a fake tooth from an accident that happened as a kid, I was afraid I would be awkward and I was just completely faking all the confidence he thought I had. Admitting to my deep insecurities and not being judged but having him validate my feelings anyway and reassure me that everything was okay made me like him a lot more. So I ended up giving him the kiss in the end lol

+1 yAs its a new person I'd actually prefer they ask me.
In my experience it's important to air on the side of caution.
You're still getting to know each other. I'd like a man to show me respect. Sometimes rejecting a kiss isn't always a negative it's just an indication that we're not ready.12 Reply- +1 y

Thanks @Guardian45 😊
Let me let you in on a little secret my friend. Reading the cues is better, because as a man it shows you're assertive. If she rejects you, then you simply back off. Don't push it. However, when you ask it shows hesitancy and that you're not sure. I say go for it.

+1 yAs for me I usually say fuck it & go for it if I really like her & if she seems nervous I ask. One time I was LIP BLOCKED when I went for it & the girl stopped me. She asked are we boyfriend & girlfriend & I said what do you mean. She said I only let guys kiss me if we are boyfriend & girlfriend & then she asked again & I said not a fucking chance & I was out like a fat kid in dodgeball.

+1 yThis is how you do it. Get very flirty and intimate. Go in close a little and then pull away. Exhale a couple of times. Keep flirting. Get I. A bit closer. Allow your heart to beat faster. Pull back. Keep flirting. Go in again. Pull back. Ratchet up the tension so high that she breaks and grabs your head and smashes face. Works every time
00 Reply 514 opinions shared on Dating topic. I heard a girl explain how that could be done without coming off as desperate.
Basically look her in the eye during the last conversation. Something like your so focused on how bad you want to kiss, it shows on the face, and then say I really want to kiss you right now it's not a question and not quite a statement. She can say yes or no to it without feeling bad I guess. So either that'll work or you'll go to far and have full creeper face on. Good luck.10 Reply585 opinions shared on Dating topic. I asked one time on the first when she seemed like was about to get into her car. The second date I didn't ask and we were talking and sitting next to each other and after about an hour of chatting we were both really close so I just leaned in to kiss her but she turned away at the last second. I didn't make a big deal of it and continued talking like nothing happened. lol! I got a kiss at the end of the date though.

+1 yHonestly this is where feminism needs to back the fuck up, consent for a sexual act is one thing, and people definitely need to be clear about that, but im not gonna have a conversation with you about whether or not go in for a kiss. Literally unless you have autism the signs are pretty clear. You get close and then she gets closer... good to go. You get close and she moves away... boom there's your answer.
00 Reply1.7K opinions shared on Dating topic. I say you must be quite oblivious if you don't know if a moment is suitable for a kiss, so go for it. It's something wrong with a person that get offended for someone trying to kiss you. So go for it. Just start in private before doing it in public.

Anonymous(18-24)+1 yIf that person picks the right moment to ask and does it with a husky almost whisper like voice, it can be pretty hot. Being a gentleman, in my opinion and even making me picture kissing that person before actually doing it, is very sexy.

I'm usually the one kissing people.
If it feels right and I'm sure that they want to be kissed I will go for it.

I wish more women thought that way.
When I was dating I seemed to give off kissing vibes to one's I didn't want to kiss and so I think it's best they ask.
20 ReplyI think if it’s a first date or you are still getting to know the person it’s important to ask because they may not feel comfortable. But after a month or two and once you’ve both kissed a few times it’s ok to read body cues :).

You're the kind of woman creating problems for society. What's next? You like a man who sexualy assaults you? Haha at least give the man a clear sign that you're interested, super stupid to expect men to read the tiniest of cues because sometiems it's wrong. Sometimes the girl doesn't like you she's just trying to be nice, and going in for the kiss will be offensive. But I guess we should take the risk of assaulting a woman in order to show women like you that we are confident, intuitive, passionate, and proactive?
