To kiss or not to kiss?
In the world of dating and relationships, some debates never get old. One of those is whether to kiss on a first date.
First dates are certainly nerve-wracking. Questions and insecurities scurry through daters' heads: Does my hair look good? Are my hands sweaty? Should I open the door? Who picks up the tab? And before you know it, you're at the end of the night and wondering if you ate any garlic, if you should just go with a friendly handshake or hug, or if you should run inside before your date even notices you're missing. The thought of the kiss looms in the air, and now you must choose.
I don't have a problem kissing on the first date. If you're comfortable with the other person, or if there's so much chemistry you think you're going to pop, go for it. But practice self-restraint. The kiss should not turn into an hour-long make out session, it should not lead you back up to a bedroom and it definitely should not require you to take any clothes off. The first-date kiss is like the cherry on top of the ice cream sundae. You only get one, but you always want more. Leave your date wanting more.
What do you think about kissing on the first date? Is it allowed or a big no-no? What would you think if your date insisting or refusing to kiss?

I am constantly confused by popular notions of dating. I have friends who hand out with lots of people of the opposite gender, and some of them won't call anything a date unless it involves a kiss. Otherwise it's just "hanging out." I like to think that I'm flexible in that area. Honestly, the first time I kissed my boyfriend it was because he was talking my ear off, and I wanted a break. Okay, that sounds really mean. I also just really wanted to see what it would be like to kiss him. He has the greatest lips...

It definitely depends on the guy, the date and the vibe when it gets to the point of deciding whether to kiss or not to kiss.
If you aren't attracted to the person, or the sparks aren't there — obviously kissing would be a big mistake. But if you like the person, and you want to kiss them — go ahead.
I think there are a lot worse things you can do on a first date than kissing the person.
