First Date Etiquette

Art · 06-17-2008, 06:22 PM

Hi Guys,
It's been four years since I've had to face the dreaded first date!
It's like a dentist drill for me... something painful that just has to be done in order to progress.

So I've got my date lined up for the weekend

First question:
It is the done thing to kiss on the cheek at the start of the first meeting
if you've never met face to face before?
IMO it would seem a bit forward, but do you really want to shake hands and say:
"Hi, My name is blabla" with a woman you'd like to eventually have sex with?

a hug no kiss. kiss on the cheek isnt bad, but i dont do it

Art · 06-17-2008, 06:49 PM

Wow, I thought a hug would look more forward than a kiss on the cheek.

AKIRA · 06-17-2008, 07:41 PM

Last time I did the kiss on the cheek during the hello I scored points.

Girls like a guy thats assertive. She knows that its just a gesture.

Then again...umm, is this a blind date.

i dont think a hug or kiss on the cheek would be uncalled for under these circumstances

I agree, she may appreciate the gesture, but I highly doubt she will be offended

cadnkides · 06-21-2008, 01:04 AM

just make sure she pays for the date.

Hoglander · 06-22-2008, 12:05 AM

Upon approach.... flowers in right hand, your left hand reaches to her shoulder gently and you kiss her right cheek. Unless she is fat.

TexanTA1996 · 06-23-2008, 09:44 AM

Don't ever bring flowers on a first date.

bio-chem · 06-23-2008, 10:38 AM

so how did the date go and what approach did you finally take?

I would do the hand shake thing...

If I were to do a hug I would feel obligated to grab her ass while I was hugging her

Rubes · 06-23-2008, 07:52 PM

a kiss on the cheek of someone you don't know...its strange and probably not very inviting. If I had a vag between my legs I would think you are a D-Bag for kissing my cheek...I would think a smile and a hello nice to meet you would be enough to get things on their way to the next level without having the used car salesman approach to a first date.

He's already been on the Internet with her whacking off to her while she hits her electric toys etc etc. I say go for it IF she's not misrepresenting herself. I just hope she is not suckering is this dude with hidden fatness, emotional baggage, and a herd of misbehaving brats.

I agree a kiss on the cheek (or flowers) just screams, "I am desperate and trying way too hard."

Go into it without caring about the initial greeting. If you hand shake or hug or just wave at each other, it shouldn't be pre-thought out. Meet her like you would any guy friend you meet or any girl you have known all your life. Just do what comes naturally when you meet. Too much thinking about it just stinks of desperate douche baggedness.

NeilPearson · 06-26-2008, 06:44 AM

Really, she is just a chick... Who cares what she thinks. Be yourself. If you like each other and connect then it will be because you are being who you really are and reacting the way you really do. If she doesn't like it, so what? There are thousands more lined up after her. Don't premeditate stuff or put on an act. She will either accept you for yourself or you can bang the next one.
