Had a date on Sunday, was a great date, she was lovely and the conversation flowed naturally for 4 hours and easily could of gone on longer if we both didn't have things to do however there was no great spark. We got along great and everything was fine on paper but just no chemistry to take things further.

I used to be with "it", but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it is seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

Oooh everyone's having great luck with their dates!

I had a date Saturday night. Complete disaster. Yer man was a lecherous sleazebag! Couldn't keep his hands to himself, even though I made it perfectly clear I was in no way interested. I ended up having to leave before we'd even finished our second drinks. What a creep! :rolleyes:

Oh no. I had that too. My first internet date. Don't let it put you off the dating, I've met some lovely guys since.

Ladies and gents, well ladies particularly;

If things are going well with a guy, when do you usually expect the first kiss on the lips?

End of the second date?
From what Ive heard, if the guy doesn't make the move by the 3rd date, then its into the dreaded friend zone.


Cheers!

Lob the gob on date 1, life's too short for kissing politics. :pac:

Defo on the first date. If it doesn't happen on the first date, I would feel he wasn't into me.

Never gotten a second date when there was no kissing on the first personally.

One of the questions on OKC, how does the idea of being slapped hard in the face during sex make you feel.
A) Arroused
Horrified
C) Nostalgic
D) Indifferent.

Nostalgic? I can understand A or B, but C or D are pretty weird.

First date??
Jesus, i forgot how keen Irish women are these days.
This will be my second date, she's a chinese-canadian girl
Its now or never I suppose.
I kissed her on the cheek at the end of the first which she initiated. I didn't think a kiss on the lips was appropriate then.

If there's chemistry there, why not? Its not the 1950s.

Why do you sound so horrified?

I would expect/am used to kissing on the first night. I was on a date a few weeks ago and there was no kissing. To be honest, as good looking as she was the vibe wasn't right and I just wasn't interested by the date's end and I'm not interested in seeing her again even though she has asked me when I will be in Dublin again.

I should note she was foreign and not drinking.

Sorry to hear about the creep but fingers crossed the next guy treats you with a bit of respect!!

I agree, for me if there is no kiss at the end of the first date it is not really a good sign ...

Not sure what her being foreign and not drinking has to do with it though??

didn't mean to be hasty in typing that at the end. That was in reference to the poster who was asking when should the first kiss happen. His date was foreign, then another post joking that Irish women are fair keen in that dept.

Drink wise I meant we both weren't langers and for me being the one drinking while she wasn't I felt uneasy, when on a normal date when you meet for drinks both of you typically drink and relax & unwind a little more for it.
