Advice For Women Ending A Date

Should I always allow a man to walk me to my door?

There are very few "always" and "never"s. Being walked to your door on a first date is a question of whether you are interested or not. If you are interested, absolutely, allow him walk you to the door. He probably wants to kiss you goodnight. If you are not interested, make it clear that you had a good time, say goodbye in the car, and get out.

Should I wait until the end of the date to kiss my date?

Actually, I really like it when a guy tries to kiss you during the date, at some point spontaneously when it's fun. It takes a lot of pressure off at the end of the date - should I kiss him or should I let him kiss me? It's nice so if you're open to it; a little spontaneity shakes the date up a bit.

What's the best way to handle a goodnight kiss scenario?

Clients ask me all the time about how to handle a goodnight kiss at the end of a date. It's a very stressful thing, but it doesn't have to be. Laugh a little, have a good time, but know ahead of time: is this something you want, or not? So you know if you are preparing to have that kiss, or if you are preparing to fend it off. If you want to have the kiss, make yourself available to it. Be open. Know you could bump noses, or turn your head the same way, and laugh about it! Have a good time. This is not that serious. It should be fun. If you don't want the kiss, be prepared for that too. Are you going to turn your cheek and avoid? Will you try to go in for a hug with your head down? Just know how you are going to handle it to make it easy for you, and the other person.

Should I ask a man if it's OK to kiss him?

No, you shouldn't ask a man if you want to kiss him. You either go for it, or you let him do it, let him make the move. Show that you're open and available to it. I would suggest encouraging him to do it, but if you want to, you can move in for the kiss. Just don't ask him about it on a date.

Should I mention a second date at the end of a first date?

I'm a little bit more traditional, so I wait to see if the guy wants to go on a second date with me before I mention anything. But one thing I would do is let him know that you had a really good time. Sometimes they need a little encouragement and you want to let him know that you want to do it again just by telling him you had a good time tonight.
