So you just went on a date with the perfect guy. He picked you up at your house, opened doors for you and escorted you everywhere you went. He made a romantic dinner and paid for ice cream after. He gave you his undivided attention and made frequent eye contact throughout the night. You had stimulating conversation throughout the night and talked about your dreams and passions. As he was driving you home you thought for sure this was it, you are going to get a kiss and be swept off your feet. He walks you to the door, gives you a quick hug and then promptly goes back to his car. You kind of stand there still a bit dazed because you thought a kiss was for sure in the works. As you go into your house you start to analyze the night and see where you went wrong. Did he not like you? Was he just being nice? All sorts of questions start going through your mind and you wonder if you just got the “kiss-off”.
Dating experts have actually identified a kiss-less first date as a very good sign of a potential relationship. When he doesn’t kiss you on the first date it could mean a number of things. First of all, it means he respects you and wants to wait til the timing is right. Maybe he just wants you plan out a first kiss like they have in the movies. It also means that he probably isn’t kissing all of his other first dates which means he is keeping things classy. That way you know that his kisses actually do mean something when he gives them out. He may not kiss you til the third or fourth date so look for other signs of attraction in the meantime.
