I just don’t enjoy kissing.
Good Lord. I just realized that I don’t know!
My last “first date” was in 1979 or so. We did indeed kiss, among other activities, but it was the seventies and I was a teenager. I have absolutely no idea at all what I would or would not do on a date nowadays.
Good thing it’s not likely to come up, eh?
I have no idea. I think if it’s a coffee date or other less formal date like a picnic or whatever, there’s no expectations. If it’s a dinner date it’s ok if there’s no kiss, but I would then at least want some verbal confirmation that I wasn’t being put in the friend zone.
This seems a little odd to me - what information are you hoping to confirm with an ID?
I did ask to see a date’s ID once, just because we were waiting for our order and I thought it would be fun to see his ID photo. I was just being playful and just looked at the photo, but my date then felt the need to apologize for lying about his age, which I hadn’t even noticed. 
Are you a dude? If so, should we like get married or something?
You may want to rethink the minimal criteria by which you choose your relationship partners.
I’ll call the burn unit…
A gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell.
Indeed. I’m still not sure which, if any, of my various encounters with females have actually qualified as “dates”. But I can say that none of them have involved kissing, so there you go.
I never kissed on a first date back when I was single. It usually took me a few dates to really figure out if I liked the guy.
Plus kissing strangers just makes me think about how easy that makes it to pass around The Herp. Now, of course, I know that oral and genital herpes are so common in the general population that it’s not really that big of a deal, but still, kind of gross to think that just because someone buys you dinner you need to share cold sores with them.
Yep. Life is short, and I don’t want to spend a week or even a couple days mooning over someone I’m not sure I’ll be compatible with. Besides, I’ve never been on a first date with someone I didn’t already feel affection and at least a small amount of lust for, so I see no reason to wait. To the non-masters: don’t you want to know what the guy or girl you’re hoping to see again smells and tastes like? Or is the unknown part of the fun?
Maybe my answer shouldn’t count because I’ve never been on a blind date or an internet date. I’ve never had any kind of romantic encounter with someone I didn’t already know fairly well.
I probably wouldn’t, but the first kisses I can recall weren’t on dates anyway. With Mig we were at work when we first kissed. The guy before that we were at a campground with a bunch of friends for a few days when we kissed. My first husband we hadn’t known each other an hour before we were making out in a breezeway on Beale Street.
I said “First”, since I’m perfectly happy to do so, but my dating life (such as it is) has been all over the map. One particularly memorable First ended with a very romantic kiss (seriously, there was applause) even though we had not exchanged a single word since we met. It was a strange, wild, and beautiful evening.
Why wait that long?
That’s not very nice. Proposal rescinded.
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi, the girl is hard to get!
Haha, I just watched the episode of family guy where he sang that song as a victory celebration after scoring a touchdown. So good.
But yeah, I’m no shipoopi. I always kiss on the very first date.
Remind me why we broke up!? 
Because we still loved each other but just weren’t IN love with each other.
But baby, it’s 2013.
So how you like me now?
A lot better than I like most of my exes! Really starting to regret our hasty, public breakup.
