Went on a date with a girl from Hinge - lasted about 2.5 hours. It went well, basically according to the book, as far as first "dates" go in terms of conversation and her asking me a lot of questions, which I always continued to keep the conversation going by asking her questions about herself instead. She did 75% of the talking, easily.
We leave the establishment, and she thanks me for the time, I said it was a pleasure meeting her and we would talk soon. No hug, no first date kiss either (which I usually try to make my goal, but somehow, this one just slipped away - it seemed to happen so fast and I didn't realize I lost the chance until it was too late, despite wanting to go for it the whole time).
What do you guys think? Is missing an opportunity for a first date kiss really that big of an issue? I'll probably text her on sunday or monday to ask her out for the coming week - is that proper, in this case?
I hate to feel like I missed a major chance to amp up the romance-level, and nearly every first date where I go for the kiss, it is received positively and turns out how I want it to with more dates and sex, etc. Just feeling like I missed the train here - any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.
