Forgive my french, but go for the kiss, you puss! Your date was great and you are great. ---

And of course if she goes for the kiss, then you should drop the hand. ---

> [@LurkerInNJ](#): > > We’re not talking about tongue action or making out. A kiss at the end of a date means you want another date. Nah, I totally understand **MannyL**. I never kissed on the first date (at least not on the lips.) I always saved that for the second date (or, in the case of my wife, third.) I admit, three dates is a little bit slow and unusual for me, but that’s when it felt right. At any rate, that approach has always worked for me. ---

The Public Display of Affection is not something she goes for. She was commenting on some people we saw and how they were acting. Since we both expressed an interest in seeing each other again and seeing where this leads we both knew there was going to be another date. Next date will be Madame Tussauds and then the New York Water Taxi Statue by night cruise. Hopefully it will be a warm night. ---

> [@MannyL](#): > > No if it’s too chilly she may say no to cruise then my plan will be thwarted. No man, you don’t ask what she wants to do, you tell her. Broads love that schtick. If she complains produce a strategically hidden blanket. When you’re in the boat, wrap the blanket round the both of you, snuggle close, then drop the hand. ---

I am NOT carrying a blanket or Snuggie ™ in NYC that’s crazy. And I will suggest going on the water tour but if she says no I will not force her. But that is 21 days away. I know next weekend I will not see her because she is attending a wedding on the 14th ---
