If it goes well, I honestly don't mind going the full mile (although the most I've done on a first date is kiss). I think you should just go with the flow and feel things out. If you're highly compatible and feel comfortable with each other, I don't personally see a point in waiting.

I PERSONALLY do not ever look less upon a girl that puts out earlier. If anything, I just appreciate the fact that she feels comfortable enough to be intimate with me. But the truth is, there are guys out there that will judge a girl for putting out on the first date and assume they're easy, when really they could just like you enough to be intimate with you. And that has caused women to normalize not putting out on the first date unless they're not looking for anything serious.

As with most things in life, it goes by a case by case scenario.

I usually hug and kiss her on the cheek, depending on the connection we shared prior to going on a date together , if I barely know her? I will just give her a hug and say it’s nice to finally you , in a friendly way and see how the date goes from there on out. Some girls’ just want to rip my clothes off as well , which is fine with me lol

[DishLady]

It depends, but usually there’s a little handshake and peck on the cheek in greeting.


In parting, either this again or a hug and a peck on the cheek.

💯!!!

I don't kiss on a first date. If anything a hug will do.

[AviatorTom]

On the initial meeting, nothing. As the date progresses, and things go well, a hug and kiss would be nice.

I think the first date is really too soon for that. A hug is supposed to mean something! A kiss is supposed to mean something! We don't dispense them like pretzels! At the first date, you don't know if you'll even like each other, let alone be compatible. When affectionate feelings have begun to develop between you, THEN it's time for the first hug and first kiss, which should leave both of you reeling with happiness!

Although if I were on a hypothetical 1st date with you and you offered me a pretzel at the end of the date? I would be thrilled!

[Keyboardkat]

@Caroline91 Really?

[Caroline91]

@Keyboardkat. I love pretzels, especially one of the big doughy fresh ones with mustard on it... Nothing like a lovely snack at the end of a good date!! Or a bad date... A really good pretzel could turn even a bad date into a good date!

If you're meeting them for the first time, then just a handshake & hello. Some people won't be comfortable having someone they just met touch them.

[Nikki1989]

I greet most people with a kiss on the cheek anyway.

[itsannalee]

I greet people with hug. So hug when we meet and hug when we leave.

[DrPepper12]

As a greeting before the date begins I would probably go for a handshake because it's completely innocuous.

If there's chemistry he can do whatever he wants. If there's not it's just a polite dinner and that's it.

[FunkyMonkee]

A handshake would suffice but a hug and/or a kiss would be much nicer.

[paledreams]

Nothing or something - handshake or fist bump lol 😂😆

[ProbablyClueless]

Most likely a hug... I feel like a kiss is more a second date thing.

• First Hug
• When we de departing must be with kissing.

[clampfan101]

I’m always open to hugs. Kissing can wait until we get to know each other.

[OddBeMe]

Tbh, this is the woman’s ballpark. Her choice to allow such things.

[Ladsin2]

I always hug, if they seem receptive to more I move from there

[justabuddy]

Depends on the vibe I get. Not everyone is as comfortable with physical contact as I am.

[Caroline91]

I offer my hand.

[dustybiker2]

Depends on the feeling in the moment.

[chrissykerdock]

i prefer nothing at first

[qupid911]

Hug or handshake. End of night a hug

[spartan55]

Grab a big handful of that ass.

[Ms_Facesitter]

A handshake actually or a kiss on the cheek.

[bannacookies]

A hug is fine.

[LiamJHayden]

A hug or nothing depending upon the vibe.
