Do you kiss on the first date?

The only person I’ve ever kissed is my husband.

At the behest of the elders of my church, (in a disciplinary meeting that was the most privacy-violating, insulting, and degrading experience of my life) we made a promise to avoid any physical affection for three months.

So we had lots of dates before our first kiss.

As near as I can remember, “Yes”, but there are kids kissing on their first dates that were born since my last ‘first date’. lol

Well, why don’t we find out? * wiggles eyebrows seductively*

All jokes aside, I’ll let you know when I find out. Expect this thread to pop up again in about 5 years.

Usually just a friendly hug or a kiss on the cheek if I’ve liked the guy,

Shit. It’s been so long since I had a “first date.”....wait. When Rick (who is my husband now) came to my house for the first time…which would be our “first date,”.... I finally dragged him off to bed at about 2 a.m. so he’d stop talking. I think we probably kissed. I also found out the next morning he had a couple of cracked ribs from being stupid on a tramp at his daughter’s house the day before.

God, @Seek.

Of course, no tongues yet though, unless she did it first.

I took the coward’s path & left the decision in the hands of the women. Come to think of it, there was a lot of sex completely free of lingering kisses

Once, after my divorce, my sister set me up with a high level Boeing manager. She just gushed over this guy, so I bit. Shit. Dude was old enough to be my father. Nothing in common. He talked about himself the whole time, telling stories about places he’d been…he was trying to impress me with the amount of money he had, I think, which was a lot. Guess he figured that I would be an easy conquest, seeing how poor I was…but I was beautiful so he was willing to stoop to my level.
Well, after our date, he took me home….and I could tell he was moving in for “that” kiss. I started to panic a little, and suddenly I said, “Did you know that after 5 years you get to reclaim virgin status?!”
It had the desired result of stopping him in his tracks, with a puzzled look on his face, no more puzzled than I…where the hell did that come from??!! LOL! which was the tactful space I needed to move away, saying “Thank you for the dinner.”
I’m so weird. Never heard from him again. Whew!

People here don’t date. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUUyCrt7aEE
So, I don’t ‘date’ and I don’t do the local ritual either.

@Dutchess_III = “five years virgin status” – great line….

Stopped him in his tracks! Mission accomplished.

If there is a mutual attraction, heck yeh!

@Seek Is that some uber Mormon thing?

No, my ex-step-uncle, the pastor, is just an asshole.
