What to do?
Guys, as you walk her back to her front door and she’s turns to you with the keys in her hand, your heart races. How to kiss her? Do you kiss her on the cheek? Do you kiss her on the lips? Surely not just a handshake? A full on snog? The first date kiss decision is crucial to make or break a perfect evening.
Women, do you wait for the guy to make the moves? Do you play it hard to get and just let him peck you on the cheek? Or, do you take the bull by the horns and kiss him? The dilemma of how, or if you should kiss on the first date!
Depending on how the night went, both of you will have a pretty good idea of how “full-on” you want that kiss to be. But so often shyness creeps in, and that perfect night can end up missing the proper kiss that it was crying out for.
Key is to know the signs
Whilst most women will happily take the lead and guide the process, many naturally wait for the guy to take the initiative. Here are the most common signs that a woman will want her date to kiss her:
- She’ll be facing him
- Her arms will be down by her side
- She’ll be holding his eye contact
If she’s not facing him, and her eyes are wandering elsewhere then it is almost certain that she is giving him the red light. Getting the kiss right at the end of the night can put the perfect end on a perfect night, or leave an embarrassing glitch until your next date (if there is another date!).

Back in my teenage years I would probably have just ‘took the bull by the horns’ approach and just kissed my date… but now I am older I prefer to let the guy make the first move.
