I know that's not the most civil way to go about it, but if we went on a date and she wasn't open to a peck on the lips, we're going to have problems down the road anyway. There wouldn't be a second date, which is probably just as good for her as it is for me.
When I was doing OLD, I had 5-10 first dates per week for several months. That would be quite a lot of kissing strangers.

Of course, what you and other regulars here know about me is that I am at the extreme end of the sex-positive and high-sex-drive spectrums, and that I have been repeatedly suspended from the forum (that sounds so kinky) for being too comfortable with sexuality.

But if I like her, I'm kissing her. If she's not ok with that, next.
I predict that your mind will be blown by the awesomeness of sex with someone who is an enthusiastic participant, not just 'letting you have sex on her' if you make room in your life for such a relationship. But that would mean waiting until she wants the kiss, and is not simply tolerating it.

Calm down.

Not everyone goes by this "schedule". Let people go about dating how they want....and you can do the same. I don't see a problem with how they approach dating.

I too am amazed how many people here have set rules! I don't, I play it by ear.

What if you have amazing chemistry with someone on the first date, sure thats rare but it can happen. Its happened to me once in my life.

1) How about first "meets"?
2) That's way way too many... you need to discriminate more in the set up.
Meeting five new people in a month is a LOT. That's a fresh newbie every day.

Regardless. That 5-10 per week is more like like sex addiction than sex positive.

It's important to me that I conduct my dating life in the way that works for you, not for me .

Lol. I just said I did not kiss them -- but now you think I had sex with them?!?

If I'm really into the guy, I'll let him kiss me. But if I'm on the fence about him at all, I'll just peck him on the cheek when I say good night and that's that. There was one guy who got very fussy about that, and he never heard from me again.

I agree

Just saying hello to one newbie a day is too much to keep track of.

Whether it applies to you or not...
the whole point of for the OLD approach is to filter out all the also-ran's
before agreeing to take time to meet the few who have real potential.

If you were doing even a token amount of that filtering...
how many more could you have seen each month?

I hear kids these days are making eye contact on the first date. What happened to civil society?

I filtered out most of them in email. The one a day were the 1% that had potential.

Two a day, that was too many for me.
