5 Signs They Want To Kiss You
It's the end of a fantastic first date, and you're wondering - should I go for a goodnight kiss?
The anticipation can be nerve-wracking. After all, nobody wants to make the first move only to be rejected.
There's no one size fits all answer when it comes to kissing on a first date. It's a personal decision that depends on both you and your date's comfort levels.
One thing is certain - it's essential to be respectful and ask for consent before making a move.
Communication is key. Consent is sexy. Asking for permission not only shows respect, but it also ensures that both parties are on the same page.
So - back to the matter at hand, you've just had an amazing first date, and you're picking up on some serious vibes. Are they thinking about kissing you?
Here are 5 signs your date wants to kiss you:
Physical flirting: If your date is initiating physical contact like arm-touching or playfully tapping you, it's a good indication they're open to getting closer.
Looking at your lips: If your date has been smiling and looking at your mouth, it's a sign they're potentially interested in kissing you.
Lingering eye contact: This is a strong indicator that they're focused on what you're saying and they're attracted to you.
Verbal cues: If your date compliments you, says something flirty, or asks about your thoughts on kissing, they're definitely interested in you.
Hesitation to leave: When it's time to say goodbye, pay attention to whether your date lingers around. If they're not in a hurry to leave, it could mean they're hoping for a kiss.
🛑 Remember 🛑 even if you're picking up on these signs, it's important to ask for consent before making any moves.
Worried about what to do if your date avoids your kiss? Don't sweat it.
How to handle the "rejection":
Move on gracefully. Remember, rejection happens to everyone, and it's not a reflection of your worth or desirability. Instead of dwelling on the rejection, focus on enjoying your time together and getting to know each other better. Don't make things awkward or uncomfortable - just keep things fun and lighthearted. Who knows, maybe there will be a better moment for a kiss later on!
Not feeling the first date kiss? No problem.
Here's what you can do:
If you're not quite ready to kiss on the first date, you can always go for a kiss on the cheek. It's a great way to show your interest while keeping things light and playful. Plus, it leaves room for some build-up for the next time you see each other.
