well I have what I like to call the first date spectrum
Handshake-----------------------------------------------------Kiss on the Cheek
Now if the date goes horribly awry, I will still be polite and courteous, and end the evening with a handshake. If I knew the person before we went on the date, (whether it be a friend or someone I've gotten to know) then there is the possiblility of a kiss on the cheek.
Now, having said that, this disclaimer must be put in place, in the event of a rare occurance, outside the bell curve (way far right) there is the offshoot of a regular short kiss on the lips. This even has yet to occur within the realm of standard practice, where I have not deviated from the bell curve standard by no more than .05%.
I don't see myself generally being comfortable enough with a person on the first date to kiss him (and I haven't kissed on a first date). However, if this would be a particularly fantastic first date and I felt really comfortable with the guy, I'd be open to a kiss.
depends on how well I knew him. I generally don't date guys I don't have some kind of friendship with first. So its very possible we'd both be ready for the first kiss on the first date.
If it was a blind date or some such thing... I highly doubt I'd feel comfortable enough to kiss on the first date. a hug maybe.
I'm not someone to decide before hand to kiss or anything like that. It depends, if I know her well enough, and the moment presents itself and I feel that the moment to kiss is kind of there, I think I would.
A hug/kiss on the cheek...maybe. That's a big maybe. I think it would take a few dates for me to know a person well enough to kiss them without it being weird.
