Asking if you can kiss a girl

Not being sexist, but I think letting a woman think about anything when it concerns dating isn't a good thing as far as attraction goes. You need to be the director. Don't ask what she wants to do, where she would like to eat, if you can kiss her, etc. Many just want to show up and let you take it from there.
Yep. I never ask women what they want to do for dates apart from which day they're free. After I get a clear on that, I usually leave it at "Let's get drinks! I'll pick you up at 7." I find confidence to be a huge part of attraction.
 
Should only do when you already know the girl wants to or it's likely to turn out fucking awkward.

To a girl who likes you it'll seem sweet and cute. To a girl who isn't into you it's just going to look like what it is: you formally asking if you can engage in physical intimacy, which when coming from the wrong person is uncomfortable, regardless of how polite.

If you can't tell whether the girl is into you or not, best just not to ask. Nobody should be that desperate for a kiss. If it ends up being more dates, then you'll have the opportunity plus confidence which might help.

I don't get the first one, but hahaha the slowness. So good
 
I wasn't aware that this was really a thing, but it's probably something I would do since I'm not really good at judging people's reactions.

I bet all your friends come to you for advice.
 
I've been asked this before and my reaction was to just laugh because I didn't think he was serious. Then I realised he was, and I felt bad.
I suppose it was better than him not asking and just going for it only to have me recoil in horror.

Ah, the much vaunted GAF Effect™.
 
This seems like it would also absolutely kill the mood. Damn it GAF! Learn to read the most basic of social cues.

That's easy for you to say, you're a monorail salesman.

Seriously though, let people be beta if they want to. There's nothing wrong with being awkward. At the end of the day, if they like you then asking isn't going to hurt. If they don't like you and you don't ask and just swoop in, then well done, you've made them feel highly uncomfortable. Congratulations.
 
My opening line with my current girlfriend was "I kind of want to kiss you...are you okay with that?" Consent is important with any intimate physical interaction.

She said no.

Why you kissin' with girls so easy to turn off? If there was a real mood there and you weren't movin' in fast enough she'd be jumping your bones.
 
Ask? I just asked my wife and she is indifferent. But she did say if I asked her then we wouldn't be together now most likely. She didn't want a dude to do that - just take the initiative and kiss her. I did that on our first date 12 years ago and we have been married 7 years next month.

Personally I don't know since its been so long since I was a part of that side of things but I don't think I would ask even now. Just do it and if the response is bad then move on.
 
I always keep a notary on-call so that after dinner I can have the consent form ready to be signed back at my place.

I echo it probably depends on the girl which is an answer that doesn't help much since it can be hard to tell her preference on a first date. Today is my 5 year anniversary of my wife and my first date and while that may seem like not much, in that short time dating mechanics seem to have changed so much. I'm sure OldGAF can attest.
 
on topic though.....first to get it out of the way.. going for a kiss is overrated. People try to do it too soon. Just have patience.

anyway.....after a long date, maybe after a few drinks, and everything is going well and she gives you nice looks.... lean forward as if you were going to kiss her, but don't. Get close to her ear, with your (hopefully) smooth skin pushed up against her (hopefully) smooth skin.... then whisper to her ear, that her lips are looking so enticing. So from here if she pulls away.. don't go for a kiss anymore bail on the plan until it is obvious she wants one..

if she doesn't pull away..slowly, while your two skins are connected, guide yourself back toward her lips... if she pulls away, again abandon plan.... if she doesn't pull away...then make your way to her lips.

there you can kiss her.... or you can be a tease like me and glide over her lips with your lips and sit back on your seat and then smile.

reminds me of those early Internet age sites where people could write their erotic dreams and it was 90% made up stuff
 

My first kiss with my current girlfriend was like that but with switched places . We were really just good friends out for drinks nothing romantic at all, and when I went to kiss her goodbye in the cheek she kinda switched cheeks mid-way and kissed me in the lips. She was super embarrassed and I was like WTF!? But then we keep going and the rest is history.
 
She didn't take a chance?

Ha! We were both fill ins so neither of us wanted to be there. They had me pick her up at a fake place filled with dolls. I was supposed to wait until later and then ask her about it. They then gave us both large amounts of shitty whiskey and turned on the cameras.

It was really, really awkward.

Are you sure they weren't planning on murdering the two of you?
 
Well try both. Ask first. Then if it doesn't work just go for it. Best of both worlds.

put yer lips on her lips then ask the question either she says yes and you go in or she says no but it's cool you already touched lips so that's a W
