Do you prefer a kiss on the lips or the cheek after a first date?

Keep your lips to yourself

[Rei13]

I haven’t been on a first date for almost two years but if a guy went for a kiss it was a turnoff. Keep those lips to yourself especially if it was the first time we met, just give me a friendly hug instead and if we continued that was saved for later. My current partner is the exception, we hung out together 4-5 days a week for three plus months and then went to an amusement park together. It wasn’t even actually a date but we ended up kissing afterwards. So technically unplanned first date and did an official first date after we got into a relationship. Everyone else took longer 😂

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

If I like him - lips.

If not - cheek.

[OlderAndWiser]

At the end of a first date, a girl might feel obligated to give a guy a goodnight kiss, but she really doesn't want to kiss him so, as a comrpr omise, she allows him to kiss her on the cheek. Or maybe she just moves slowly, as a kiss on the cheek should be seen as an encouraging sign. I never know how to interpret a kiss on the cheek.

If a girl kisses me on the lips, that means she WANTED a kiss on the lips and there is nothing ambiguous about this! And a girl who kisses on the lips on a first date is more likely to be physically affectionate sooner on the subsequent dates.

[AviatorTom]

A guess on the cheek is for friends. A date is more than friends, even if it's only the first one, so kiss the lips... or don't kiss at all.

Whenever the first date went well, I always kissed her on the lips, to let her know that I was interested in more than being her friend.

[YesterdaysChild]

How is a date more than friends when you may have never met them before, say like you met them on a dating site? Would she, or you, still kiss if you had a lousy time on the date? Sounds strange to kiss and then go home and block them. Are kisses nothing special anymore? When I was dating - many moons ago - we didn't kiss until we had dated for at least a couple of dates. Well, at least I didn't.

[Avicenna]

Lips is preferable. And you can usually tell she wants one from her body language.

[TheorionMage]

Because the ORIGIN of a lips kiss is in effect culturally symbolically saying "I would deny myself nourishment to preserve YOUR continuance"... it is the first undeniable symbolic approval.

In Nature parental heredity motivates both pair bonding and juvenile feeding perpetuance. You are in effect, saying: I find your company worthwhile ENOUGH to contribute to your continuance in MY world, ... even by MY OWN resources/efforts.

Later, subsequent 'french' tactile tongue kissing mimics the passage of pre-chewed sustenance. His/her participation in this irrevocable affirms their 'buying-into' this privileged relationship. (Ever play: 'Pass the ice cube'?)

'Fellatio' further irrevocably intimately affirms your partner WILLINGLY WANTS your genetic essence (YOUR protein DNA ) WITHIN them, to nourish them ... even if NOT to 'impregnate' them. Your ESSENCE literally BECOMES part of their being!
'Cunnilingus' on the other hand, 'wakens' the female genitals to the reading potential for eventual pairing to penetrative genetic DNA transfer. ~

[TheorionMage]

If I ONLY merit a cheek kiss, I'd just as soon you just shake my hand...

[YesterdaysChild]

I won't kiss on the first date unless we click, and I really feel a connection. I will hug instead. In my opinion you just lessen the value of a kiss by kissing every date you go on and it becomes less special - in fact it can be mundane. However, to those who have sex on the first date it probably means, "Ok, the preliminary is over. Let's get down to the nitty gritty!"

[NathanDavis]

a kiss on the cheek are just a thing, at least down here... they're a given and almost by default, lol

so, an actual kiss would be a better sign for anything looking forward

but then it does depend in the person and the experience as well... some girls just prefer to wait for any of that, even when they're very much into you...

both and more, are fine with me really...

[BullShark]

I guess it really depends on the person at the end of the day, how close we are and how well the date went. Again, I know that this is a first date, but that doesn't necessarily mean this is the first time you guys are spending time together, only this time, moreso as a couple. Eitherway, I digress.

If I'm really attracted to her and vice versa, and we had a great time together, I wouldn't mind pulling her in for an embrace and maybe a peck on cheek or even the lips, whatever suits the moment (because you don't want to go all in sucking their mouth off this early on). If the date was alright, but her body language tells me she wasn't really all that into me and was usually on her phone most of the time, I'd simply tell her that I had fun, see her off and be on my way.

[WindAtMyBack]

When I was young, I considered a kiss on the lips as normal and expected. Last summer I got a kiss on the cheek for the first time. It surprised me how enticing it was. It was someone I had been pursuing very casually for while. The cheek kiss let me know she was starting to warm up to me.

[FriendlyCanadianGuy]

Depends on the date.

On my first date with my current girlfriend, it was a quick coffee and we only had an hour to get to know each other. I walked her to her car and gave her a big hug (not aggressivly either lol don't be creepy) and told her you are so awesome, we have to get together again sometime soon. A kiss would have not fit the vibe.

With past first dates, if there were drinks involved and we're having a good time, she's laughing and you give you the look, then hell ya first date kiss is fine

[HawkPerception]

It's whatever they're comfortable with. Can't force anything. If I had a good time and enjoyed their company, I might ask if I could kiss them. Yes... ask... not just lean in and hope for the best 😂

[RavVid]

On the cheek it is a social kiss, so it is often perfunctionary and means as much.

The merest peck on the lips means more, so that is what I'd hope for.

Not even a cheek kiss is lesser farewell than you would get from a girlfriend's girl friend. So I think that means don't even text me you enjoyed the evening bullshit cause I never want to see your face again.

[Nikki1989]

The lips. The cheek kiss is something grandmas do.

[Bklynbadboy12]

I agree!

[Orangekiss]

What would Biden do? Cheek or lips?

[Djaay]

Orangekiss... that depends if the child is under 10 or under 8 .

[Orangekiss]

@Djaay 😅🤣😆

[Screenwriter]

Cheek is ALWAYS appropriate. A PECK on the lips after a good first date is OK. But, it's a bit forward to do anything more than that with someone you barely know.

A handshake would even be OK until you're fully comfortable with someone new. I say, take it SLOW. One date is NOT enough. No matter how well it went!

[Daniela1982]

A kiss on the lips from someone I don't really know? Ewwww! Cooties!

[smne35]

Really it depends on how the date went, if it was on a hey this is my girl forever kiss on the lipsî if it was, yikes is it over is it over constantly, out of not being rude, hello cheek good bye bad date, as a parting of ways

[Sirenboobzilla]

I'm European. Cheek kisses are effectively like a handshake. Cheek kissed are fine towards the end IF it was a good date

[Altheavas]

It depends on the chemistry we share, I wouldn’t mind no kiss at all either.

[molonski2]

Assuming it went well , extremely passionate , if not so well , just a wave , " nice to meet you " .

[Alina_980]

If he is so cute i would even sleep with him.

[Lisia]

On the cheek is okay but I'd rather have them keep their lips to themselves.

[Anonymous]

For a first date it is a complete no no, unless you start dating from an already well established friendship and the romantic tension have been there already for a while.

But for dating a new person I would definitely wait at least until the third date... and the third date went really really well. Maybe at that point a kiss could be appropriate... but I don't know if I would go for the cheek or lips... maybe test the waters with cheek and next date go for the lips.

[Laura131]

Either cheeks ore nothing if it's only after first date

[Username234123]

Lips out of these options, but I can't lie, forehead kisses hit different.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

I think I would expect a kiss on the cheek, but really happy if it were on the lips :-)

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

You cheeky monkey!

[BadApple69]

a kiss on the lips means the date went very well. If you get a hand shake you’re doomed lol.

[AMS700CX4u2]

I think that one should let the situation dictate the action. Of course, if you start for her cheek and she should want to escalate the feeling she may turn her head and the kiss become lip to lip.

[genericname85]

I think a hug is as far as it should go on the first date. Unless you're looking for short term fun.

[loveslongnails]

Unless that first date had sparks flying all over the place, and both parties were groping at one another, I'd stay off the lips for a while.

[soe11]

To my girlfriend on lips and other on cheek.

But her mom and her close friends lips to lips and more.

[prakhindev92]

I would preFer that on my lips , but I am not sure what would the other party is thinking , so it doesn't matter unless making a gesture both of us had a good date

[Jkgordon]

Cheek In this day and time too many diseases to be kissing lips

[SimplyPut]

I think both and more. My thoughts on this has been expressed.

[MikeTheBartender]

I have sex on about half of the first dates I go on, so lips is okay with me

[A_Gentleman]

It would make the girl curious what's going on? why hasn't he kissed me on the lips? Of course, this strategy works if the guy shows his clear interest in a more subtle way. In my opinion, when it comes to making love, no rush and have fun!

[JerryDandridge]

Cheek seems cuter at first and slow paced. Lips are fine but the cheek kiss can surprise anyone. Especially at FIRST. Women probably really love it. Knowing he went for your cheek first. If he's slick he would 🙂

[Alex-Snow]

If it went well the lips. If it was awkward the cheeks

[Mark987]

If the date is on point and there is chemistry.. definitely on the lips.. with a big of tongue... but not over bearing.

[ZackBan]

From experience I never got anywhere with a girl I didn't at least kiss on the first date.

So naturally it's something I won't force but it is the preferable outcome to a good date

[Massageman]

First date/couple of dates? A cheek peck is a good compromise.

[Shark_61695]

I might go as far as a hug. I'm not used to physical contact and it makes me uncomfortable.

[stratford]

Lips - it means the date is going places :-)

[LittleMelissa9614]

I don't mind either way. Kiss on the lips or cheek. As long as the first date went really good, then that's what matters. And then there will be more dates.

[arohi20]

@nayans

[Asimiv]

Depends on how the date went. If it went well, then lips. If it didn't go well (we didn't vibe or something else), then neither

[Kinkyhubby]

Hopefully it went well and ends kissing on the lips

[Jamie05rhs]

Neither. A handshake is fine.
Or a wave, if you don't feel comfortable with that. Lol

[KonkeyDong]

Actually, first dates are a bit early to determine. I think kisses start further down the road.

[hbkfan]

Doesn't matter to me as long as they show some sort of interest in keeping the relationship going

[Djaay]

Neither... save it for IF something actually prevails.

[OddBeMe]

Tell me no lies and keep you lips to yourself.
Unless you hot and not related to me.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Cheek. In the lips is going far too fast for a first date.

[Dnice1]

If there is a lot of chemistry and the date went very well then I'd probably kiss on the lips

[SecretSinners]

A personal opinion a kiss on cheeks will be abit respectful

[Bigmell]

Kiss is very personal and after a first date, I don't know you like that yet. I know of you, and surface things about you, not enough to kiss you. A hug will do just fine.

[Joshydavid25]

I prefer the lips, but it's fine if she didn't feel comfortable with any kiss..

[Pudsmucker]

If it was the first date I wouldn't feel comfortable kissing on the lips. I expect the same thing for her.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Once I do, I'll tell you which one. LOL

[IslaTheWitch]

rather keep your distance :D

[curious_gul]

Depends, but if I like him I won't want neither, but a kiss between my cheek and lips 🫠🥰💗

[Samhanks]

Kiss on the cheek, because a first date should not be as passionate as a kiss on the cheek, which is more affectionate !

[Apple1996]

On the lips 💋
