How long do you wait in terms of dating to move in for a kiss?

Asked by Steve_A (5125points) July 9th, 2010

I know there is no rule of course, I’m asking for you specifically if you are dating someone how long before you expect a kiss?(Also I’m not talking about a first-first kiss here.)

I was thinking a little touch on the lips kind of kiss, not a full on make out…right?

Or if you are the kisser when do you decide to move in? I guess that is more of a guy thing but hey girls should too! :D

Thanks for your insight and personal experiences might help me out. ;)

should this be in social?

If it feels right (and you get that the attraction is mutual), then go for it on the first date (usually at the end of the date, perhaps before).

^^This sounds like a cheesy tv show scenerio.

@jjmah Hm wow first date huh….I suppose if it goes good then why not. I’m also not a very aggressive guy in that respect though.

If there’s been no kissing by the end of the second date, I’d likely consider the guy just a friend.
Other than that, whenever we both want to.

In “Annie Hall” (still one of my all-time favorite movies), Alvie Singer (Woody Allen) has the right idea, I think. On his first date with Annie (Diane Keaton), as they’re walking down the street, he suggests they just go ahead and kiss and get it out of the way so there wouldn’t be any tension later. I’ve never had the opportunity to try that on a first date, but I’ve always wanted to.

About 35 minutes
I went in for a kiss during my mine and my SO’s first date, after we had finished our ice cream of course. Why not just be forward and go after what you want?

When you feel it… YOU FEEL IT… Then go for it. ;-)

There is no specific time threshhold. It depends entirely on the feeling of the two participants. From my own personal history, it ranged anywhere from about a minute to over two weeks.

For me, it just depending on my feelings towards the person I was on the date with. There have been times where I kissed on the first date and other times that I didn’t kiss until the second or third.

My husband and I actually kissed the night before our first date. We had been friends and flirting quite a bit for months, but neither of us took it any further. Then one night we kissed. The next night we went on our first date. :-)

Kiss on the lips or cheek, first date, if you feel like you want to see her again, usually when saying good night, had a nice time, can I call you? Nothing like a major lip lock.

Jeez, I forget. What’s a first date?

First date or bust.

Likeradar's avatar

@guitarhero1983 Are you a guy or a gal, and gay or straight?

You need to lean in for a “Hello” kiss the minute you first greet her…don’t be discouraged if she recoils, try again later and at the very least when you do say goodbye! ;)

BoBo1946's avatar

while you guys and girls were thinking of an answer, i’ve already got my kiss….thank you Sadie! i think! loll

I always kiss my date right at the very beginning of the first date, just to get these issues off the table.

There has to be mutual attraction and if there is then the end of the first date. I was horrified anytime a guy swooped in for a kiss too early. That was usually the first and last date.

There was one woman whom I kissed passionately and deeply the very first time I ever saw her.
She responded in kind and we had to restrain ourselves because it was after all a public place.

This woman whom I met over the Internet by accident after I misspelled my profession in my profile, accepted my invitation to fly from Oregon to Manitoba. This kiss described happened in the airport when I realized she was the one I had fallen for sight unseen.

I still kiss her like that every time I can. She is now my wife and she does not seem to mind!

As soon as he turns off the ignition go in for the kill. Not willing to do that? Then stay home. jmo

Neizvestnaya's avatar

If there’s mutual attraction then I’ve been okay with a first date kiss near the end.

Aster's avatar

@Dr_Lawrence INCREDIBLY ROMANTIC !!!!!

I tend to kiss on the first anything-that-resembles-a-date. Then I find out later the guys are douches but I like kissing them so I stay with them far too long.
Sigh, if only I could kiss and not get attached.

I think it depends on the age. Here’s a formula which will give you the number of days to wait for the first kiss

K = 120 – 3 x Age

Example (age 20)

K = 120 – 60 days = 60 days

So when you’re 40 you can kiss your crush on your first date! You see, one advantage of getting older.

And please, don’t take my formula too seriously.

Oh, here’s a good formula for kiss intensity which mainly depends on geographic latitude and the state of the connective tissue…

Oh Matt, you are a card!

mattbrowne's avatar

Well, I’m 47, so I’m actually allowed to kiss my crush 7 years before I actually meet her. Wonderful, isn’t it? Paradox-free time travel for all !

janbb's avatar

I won’t tell you how old I am, but by your formula, I think I had sex with him before he was born!

Steve_A's avatar

Lol I’ll just go with the first date formula ;)

Let us know how the date turns out!
