Here are 3 things you can learn about a guy by kissing him on the first date:

1. You learn his level of respect for you

Kissing on the first day can help you determine just how bad a man wants and respects you. If he is attracted to you, he will most likely give you a sensual kiss if he feels the kiss has been reciprocated. According to a 2023 study conducted by The Match Lab, 68% of Americans state that they would kiss on a first date.

If he respects you, he will acknowledge that it is your first date and not choose to take it any further than a kiss. However, if he's offering to take you to the nearest hotel, he's a loser.

Keep in mind that any kind of physical interaction can lead to something more than just a kiss. If you're looking for a long-term relationship, kissing may not be the way to go on the first date. Having boundaries can allow you to have healthier relationships, research from 2020 confirms.

It's traditional to allow a brief peck on the cheek. However, if you've had a few drinks and just can't seem to keep your hands off each other, then you may both be open to something more.
