How far are you willing to go on the first date?

How far are you willing to go on the first date?

BY PENDA HONEYGHAN 

It is generally accepted that men and women have different perceptions of what constitutes a successful date. Some men might be concerned with scoring, while some women would be scoping out whether the date is a potential long-term catch.

How far are you willing to go on the first date?

Kenroy:

I will let my date take the lead. So whatever it is she is comfortable doing, I’m fine. There will be no disappointment for me because there is no big expectation on the first date.

Althia:

Well, we could dance, he would be allowed to hug, hold my hand, and depending on how well the date turns out, I don’t mind a peck on the cheek.

Abby:

I am saving myself for marriage, so I hope my smile and good conversation are enough for him.

Anna:

A first date is about getting to know each other but I would also want a sneak peek of the possibility of there being a fireworks in the relationship. So I am willing to go as far as a really wet kiss.

Ceon:

I am willing to go with the flow. I would never force them but I will be dropping subtle hints to check for responses if I am really turned on by my date.

Britney:

I am adventurous but not all men are, so if I flash my breasts once or twice or flirt for the majority of our conversation and he doesn’t seem as though he wants to go that far, then I respect that. However, if I am certain that I have protection then I have no big rule against going where the night takes us.

Dasia:

I want to feel his warmth, so definitely I am willing to be hugged, touched and get close. But this is all in preparation for a second date. No matter how tempting it is, I wouldn’t give up the goods on the first date.

Dan:

I am an old-fashioned man. I would settle for holding hands and a good night kiss. I don’t think I would want a woman to serve it to me on a silver platter on the first date either.
