I agree, I think beating around the bush would be highly inappropriate behavior on a 1st date

Why go to 1st or 2nd base if you can hit it out the park?

none of the above ------
its an interview?
lots of questions and answers
the skill and motive in asking is to find flaws
with age the search improves
so does the desire to find a dealbreaker asap.
1st dates fall short of disneyland no?

Many year ago I would like to have fun and drink. Sometimes on the same day I meet man I end up with other man when the night is done. These days I do not do this anymore because I feel more restrictive in my behavior. I usually like to know him for 1 month before any sex take place.

Really! It kinda goes along with talking about short sticks in Mr. Longshaft's threads!

Hey everyone what's wrong with sex. If sparks fly and you both click why not have safe sex. Also if they turn out to be a dud in bed you don't have to go out with them again.

I find this all very interesting. Personally, if I don't get any physical contact during a date and not at LEAST a kiss on the cheek, I write the person off as someone who didn't click with me. A hug to me signifies that the person just wants to be friends.. it's just a neutral action.

Then again, when I meet someone for a date, it's never a "got a number and then call for plans" deal. I always know the person's personality and have a lot of the general "interview" questions out of the way just based on either knowing the person, meeting them online (and hence being friends first), or being set up with them by a friend (but always talking to them online/phone for a week at least first). I don't meet people unless I know they "check out" in that regards, so I would rather enjoy myself then hold back if I'm really into someone.

If I didn't get a kiss on the first date I'd think there was something wrong.

Kissing (on the lips)
Kissing (on the cheek)
Holding hands
Minimal touching - hair, arms etc.
Well, I think these questions are easy... don't touch me. Don't touch my hair, cheek, hands, or anything else. On the first few dates, I'm a look but don't touch kind of girl. What can I say, when I was dating I just didn't let anyone touch my body... I'm a prude.
