Alright guys.. I'm initiating a new thread topic because I'm angry, bored, and confused!

You all pretty much caught my "I... have a date!" thread last weekend, ya?
He asked if he could kiss me when it was over. I haven't heard back from him since that night now.
(and I did send a friendly little "hey, what's up, you want to get together this weekend" kind of non-threatening email to try and feel things out.. if something came up, or his feelings changed... or... anything?)

*deep sigh*


Did kissing on the first date ruin things? Does it go against people's better judgement? Does it set a bad or somehow misleading precedent? I couldn't answer a yes or no... because I think it's entirely on a case by case basis. Our date went really well. We both had a blast.. what gives!

But I'm opening it up to the masses for their insight. Help me understand what went wrong.

Oh Please!!!

Any man who doesn't call again because you kissed on the first date is an IDIOT!!!!

Kissing to me is definitely a case by case basis!

If he doesn't call again I doubt it was the kiss. And don't give up on him yet , hon.
Men are notoriously slow about some things.
What seems like forever to us, women, apparently is no time for them!

Must be that alternate reality thing! LOL

It really is case by case.I really don't think it has to do with kissing.Maybe he is busy. Give him time.Get another date.keep busy!

OK, kitty, here's another $0.02 for the piggy bank. First, I cannot imagine any guy thinking less of you because you kissed on the first date. That's just plain ridiculous. So you can stop second-guessing yourself on that part of it. In all honesty, if he hasn't called by now, that would seem to indicate lack of interest... or maybe second thoughts.... but it could very well be that the guy just wants someone who lives closer. You really don't know why he hasn't called back... and maybe you won't ever know. But, from what you described, it sounded like you enjoyed the date. Again... be careful of those expectations and live in the moment. And I think you're the cat's meow and well worth a 75-mile drive. Believe in yourself.

That's messed up. I'll fly to Alaska to explore possible love interests... and this guy can't drive 49 miles?

At least I'm getting a somewhat informative poll out of an apparently bad date. mmm, thanks Shuke.

It's strange how you can have a great time with someone and really feel a connection then they don't call you.

1. I think if you go on a date with someone and decide for whatever reason you don't want to see them again, the polite thing to do is call and say so much.

2. There can by any number of reasons why someone isn't interested after a date. Don't ask them why and don't bother thinking about it. We all are different people and sometimes we can have a great time with someone, but in the end we just know that it's not going to be the person for us.

I ALWAYS kiss on the first date. Heck, I've been known to kiss the first night I meet someone

I can't imagine why someone would ASK to kiss you on a first date and not be interested.... Doesn't make sense.

I'm guessing something else is going on. Some other reason he hasn't gotten back to you, but if I'm wrong??? Try again, or just go have fun with friends or something and try letting love find you for a change.

As for your poll??? Well, I'm guessing based on the wording (gender specific) that I'm not supposed to answer, but no, I can't imagine a guy having a problem with you kissing him on the first date..... Don't worry about that.

Maybe this guy has a rule that if she lets me kiss her on the first date then she's too easy.I don't see nothing wrong with a little peck kiss if the date went really good.Yall didn't tongue wrestle did ya?
