Do you ask permission to kiss someone for the very first time?

[Autember]

Exactly what the question says. If you are on a first date, do you ask to kiss them? Be honest!

[DaveJord]

No not really I never ask. At the end of it I go in for a hug, and if she gives me a good hug back and holds on to it, then I hold her a little closure then pull back just enough to look her directly in the eyes. If she makes eye contact with me and holds it then I go in for the kiss. I never slip her the tongue on a first kiss unless the kiss is a deep one more than just a peck. Then I let go of hug and bring my hands up cupping her head my fingers nested in her behind her ears and my thumbs caressing her neck or cheek, then so softly pulling her toward me, if she leans into the second kiss then you softly bring the tongue into play... but never fulling putting it all the way into your mouth, until she uses hers.

I never put her on the spot by straight out asker if its okay, it kills the moment and it gives her a chance to say no, when she might of been totaling into a spontaneous kiss. But if you ask her she starts thing do I, and if I say yes will he think less of me, and if I say no will he think I am not interested.

Trust me if she doesn't want a kiss you will not even get close enough to her to even try.

[OddBeMe]

I actually did ask her, and she nodded.

But I think the silent 90-10 rule would suffice. Lean in 90% and let them make the 10% decision.

I'd prefer he learn body language and communication, so that he knows, and doesn't have to ask.

But I get why some ask, especially nowadays. So, ok then. But it's not as hot. It's a bit too timid for my taste.

I think is nice when someone asks because it’s worse if there is no chemistry and then he tries to kiss, it would be an awful moment to have to push him away.

[Phoenix98]

Nope, asking if you can kiss someone ruins the mood and it makes you look unsure and not confident in yourself.

just read the signs if she looks open and interested then go for it if she reciprocates then your good. And if she pulls away then back off and apologize.

And if she doesn’t look interested or open to it then don’t attempt it.

its important to communicate and be able to read body language, the eyes and the little signs. Now you won’t always be accurate but it’s a trial and error kind of thing.

[h3llfireclub]

Yes. And I prefer it if the other person asks too.

It doesn't have to be "Do I have your consent to kiss you please.", but something like "I really want to kiss you right now" and see how they react, or leaning in most of the way so the other person can choose to close the distance or not.

I've met some presumptuous guys who just 100% go for it, even when I didn't show the slightest bit of interest. It sucks. Asking is better.

[NathanDavis]

I have never asked for permission, and it never occurred to me that I should... lol

when it happened, it just happened "naturally" we were both into it, so we both made it happen...

one exception was with my last girlfriend, in which she was the one to ask if she could... lol, and then I just chuckled because at the time I thought it was a bit odd for her to ask first, when it was kind of obvious that we were both into it... but I didn't mind it though

[AviatorTom]

In all my first dates, I never asked to kiss her. If the moment felt right, I just moved in, slowly, for a kiss. If she was willing, the kiss happened. Sometimes, she wasn't willing, and just turned her head away or pulled back, and the kiss didn't happen.

[Crafteroon]

Depends on the person, how they behave and what they like. If they behave like they want to be kissed and prefer a more forward man, I kiss them. I might also say "I'm going to kiss you now" or "I would like to kiss you" depending on what I feel is most positively responded to.

[slatyb]

In my experience dating, women let me know when they wanted to be kissed by getting physically close so all I had to do was tilt my head. I never had to ask them and they were never surprised.

[BarryLiverstone]

No I don’t. But I read body language and when the moment seems right I act. I also do it slowly so if she doesn’t want to be kissed she can turn away

[mermaidcancermoon]

Id rather get asked than a guy stare awkwardly for a long time

[exitseven]

No, If things are going good I just go for it. If things are not really going good I just wait abtit.

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes. I would ask her for a kiss. If I felt like the time was right. But that would have to be at least a year into the relationship. And after we've had the kissing talk.

[Wubs3000]

For my first kiss I just asked, "can I kiss you" and they nodded so I did

[jshm2]

Unless it's your granny, it's basically sexual assault, kiddo.

[Chazmatazz269]

Of course! I’m a dude who has no desire to end up in prison.

[Fireguy17]

I have and I haven't.
I've done that, just kissed her, or told her I was going to kiss her now.

[Danny_dan92]

I’ve gotten pretty good at picking up cues on when a woman wants me to kiss her

[POSSY_HUNTER]

always , it is the only way i will know the most important thing , her consent

[roy_ricky09]

Never, if has to happen in the moment, it just happens.

[driven159]

You should not have to ask you should know if they want to kiss or not pay attention

[EaterPeter]

Depends, I have, and that's called asking for consent.

[Debeondash]

Yes I do
I want to make sure you are ready and willing to.
