The majority (?) of non-kissing posters in this thread simply amaze me. I'm older than dirt and have had my fair share of first dates. I've almost always kissed on the first date, never been refused one if I attempted or asked, and of the women who I didn't kiss on the first date, I never kissed them on any subsequent dates either, because I wasn't interested in a romance with them.
Granted, most of my first dates occurred later in life, after I divorced my first wife and was widowed by my second. Age probably does make a difference, but for me it was the same way when I was a teen, for the few dates I had.
This thread reminded me of a young co-worker who I hung out with years ago. We never actually "dated", only because we didn't call them dates, but we were together a LOT during and after working hours. We finally shared one lingering goodnight kiss after a late night at work. I'll never forget it, because my knees actually gave out from underneath me, and were it not for her car being there to hold me up, I'd have collapsed into a heap on the ground. I never mentioned that to her, and due to complications in her life at the time, it turned out to be the last time we shared an intimate moment. Well, she contacted me on Facebook awhile back (20 years later) and mentioned that kiss. She said she's always referred to it as "the perfect kiss." Said she's never felt anything like it since. It had the same affect on me.
A rule against kissing on the first date? Why, that's just crazy!
In cases where a rapport was developed prior to the first date and there's a lot of chemistry, absolutely. Kissing is vitally important to me. It's my favorite form of physical intimacy, and it's imperative that I know very early on if we're compatible in that area. The vast majority of men I have dated I kissed on the first date, with the kissing happening at the very beginning.
