Expert Answer

Some people are less likely to kiss on the first date if it's someone they met online, rather than someone they already know.

Question

What if we are in public? Is that an awkward place for a first kiss?

Community Answer

People often kiss in public, but your date may be more comfortable with somewhere more private. Until you know someone's comfort level with public displays of affection, you may want to kiss somewhere privately first.

Question

How do you react if your partner backs out on the kiss?

Community Answer

If your date stops the kiss, the best thing to do is give them the space they're asking for in the moment. Don't get caught up with what it means about you. Even if you feel hurt, just take a deep breath and say, "No problem. I understand." At a less sensitive moment, you can discuss if the relationship is going to move forward or not.

Question

When meeting for first time is it appropriate to kiss on cheek?

Community Answer

You should do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Some cultures incorporate a cheek kiss into their greeting, so what you choose to do may vary depending on what's typical for people where you live.
