Is It OK To Kiss On The First Date?

Dating can be so much fun, and especially when it means dressing up and going out together. Of course there is always a bit of nervousness and tension and often the question goes on in the background of your mind whether it is OK to kiss on the first date.

The main issue here is how well do you know each other? Do you work together every day or see each other while working in a different department? Are you old friends who have started to desire each other. Or are you meeting on a blind date that has been set up by a friend or dating agency?

If it is a stranger, is it OK to kiss on the first date? This is a situation where you would have to be extremely sensitive and tread very carefully. In this situation you need to know what the other person's beliefs and attitudes are towards sex and relationships. Also it helps to know what their normal gestures and body language is. You certainly don�t want to convey (even if you do feel like it) that you want to have sex on the very first date. Unless it is obvious that the person wants more contact, it would be better to act a bit more reserved. It should be safe to kiss the person on the cheek or to give them a hug on parting. This action may give them the hint and they might open up for more.

The other scenario is that after a period of time a beautiful friendship has grown and you both agree to finally go out on a date. Usually it's exciting and magical, as both of you are nervous and want to get it right. The evening is perfect and now the question pops up again, it OK to kiss on the first date? Of course it is fine in this situation unless you have strong evidence to suggest otherwise. You are not total strangers and having been friends for a while, you will have more information to go on and you will know from the way that they act that they are ready to take the relationship onto another level.

Is it OK to kiss on the first date? In this day and age, the answer is usually yes but take it slowly and be sensitive to your partner's wishes. If you are planning a kiss on the first date make sure you bring a toothbrush for after dinner. Or suck on a mint so the kiss will be a sweet memory.
