Should You Kiss Her on the First Date?
My guy friend thinks he made a mistake.
“I shouldn’t have kissed her,” says my guy friend.
“Why?” I ask.
“It was too soon.”
“How do you know?”
“She was sending all kinds of signals that night. But I should’ve slow walked it because she said no to a second date. I think I should’ve waited to kiss her.”
“It’s a balancing act,” I say. “I might’ve pushed a guy away from me a few weeks ago. I wasn’t ready for him to kiss me.”
“Why?” asks my friend.
“I met him and I liked him. We spent hours talking. I was interested in him. We had a bunch of things in common. We knew some of the same people. We grew up in the same area.”
It’s true.
I met a nice, handsome, fit man who was a great conversationalist.
He was easy to talk to. He asked me out. The first two times I didn’t answer. I wasn’t being difficult. I don’t want to meet a guy in a bar. It’s a lesson learned. Although it wasn’t the typical bar experience.
We were there during the day to watch a football game.
The third time he asked me out I said yes.
