Should I Go for the Kiss?
That's a common question regarding how a first date should end. It's a good question as well, some people say yes as if she responds favourably you know you're not wasting your time with this girl. Others say no as they want you to up the mystery and challenge factor. ("Why didn't he kiss me like other guys usually do?")
This is how I usually do it. Whether or not I go for the kiss depends on the TYPE of date I'm on.
Here are some examples:
Ice-Skating : No kiss
Bowling : Kiss
Dancing : No kiss
Dinner : Kiss
The common theme here is if the date is heavy on kino (such as ice-skating or dancing) she will EXPECT the kiss. So when you DON'T give it, you intrigue her and make her wonder. You're different. You got her all hot and bothered, but you didn't finish the job, this time. If there is little to no kino, I kiss because I want to establish that I am a sexual being and that I am interested in her. In the former cases, with all the touching that goes on, she knows by default ; there is no need for the kiss YET.
Note that when I say kiss, I mean on the lips kiss. Pecks on the cheek are good during and for ending kino-heavy dates, but NOT after a dinner where you have not touched each other much.
Because of this rule, I structure my dates accordingly. First date is action, heavy-kino, no kiss. Second date can be action again, but can be something like dinner. The kiss is a MUST here. If you haven't kissed her by the second date, you're headed for trouble right in her supplicating-loser zone. Third date should START with a kiss. And so on and so forth.
This is my general rule for my dates. It is not a rigid system, it came about to me playing it by ear and going for the kiss whenever I felt it would be appropriate. This is the trend that emerged, and thus I feel it works best with the DJ Principles, playing up Mystery, Challenge and Control.
Hope it helps.
