I get really awkward at the end of first dates and even if I I can tell the girl is into me I don’t just go in for a kiss. Idk I think it’s aggressive. But am I wrong? Sometimes I ask, “can I give you a kiss good night” they never say no, but idk if that’s weird too…

Reading a woman's body language is a very useful skill in and out of romantic relationships. I would focus on learning more about that. I think it's better to lean on the side of caution. When in doubt, I wouldn't go in for the kiss. I don't kiss on first dates ever (23F).

I also think men have a tendency to think that the woman they are on a date with is more sexually open/interested/comfortable than she actually is. So being cautious when it comes to a kiss is the way to go.

Also, many women appreciate a guy asking permission to kiss them. Especially on a first date, it can be hard to read her body language since you're not used to her mannerisms/signals. Consent and respecting boundaries is attractive! One time a discussion thread was started in a NYC ladies group, and over 90% of women were praising men who asked before going in.

Thank you for this! Even if I'm very attracted to a man, I don't want to kiss him on the first date. That's very intimate and I don't know him and I really don't enjoy it.

I think my friends who do enjoy it will get very clear signals that they're into it though.

I completely agree with this, especially the last paragraph. I’m 24F

Being asked is always awkward tho IMO
