I have a date with a guy tonight. He's somewhat shy. I am a fairly outgoing person. I'm actualy the one who asked him to go on a date with me. I want to kiss him, but would it be alright for me to make the first move? Would that be too forward of me? Should I just wait for him to make a move on me?

I htink you should go through with the day and see how it goes...i mean dont make assumptions before you even go on the date. what if the guy turns out to be a really jerk or whatever...he prob wont, but maybe, and you wouldnt even want to kiss him. But if the date goes well...and you see hes kinda wanting to kiss you but is really shy looking, go ahead and make the move...its ok to make the move..because then he will kow you want o kiss him and stuff...so h will make the moves after on the next dates. Hope i helped! Good luck! [ feverdancer03's advice column | Ask feverdancer03 A Question ]
IveGotPinkJazzShoes answered Sunday April 3 2005, 12:59 pm: well if he is shy then he isnt likely to make the first move. just casually slip your hand into his as a starting point. if he makes an excuse 2 move it you know that he isnt ready to be affectionate because he is too shy. if he doesnt keep smiling at him to reasure him and them if you think all is going well then kiss him on the cheek first. if he leans in then try kissing properly but if he looks embarassed quickly change the subject and try later (like on the 3rd or 4th date)
Hope it helps! [ IveGotPinkJazzShoes's advice column | Ask IveGotPinkJazzShoes A Question ]
HyperactiveMiss answered Saturday April 2 2005, 9:05 pm: My boyfriend used to be really shy and I made the first move for everything. I was in your position about the kiss, but being the chicken I was I never went for it. But in time he was the one that finally kissed me. Hehe. If you want to wait for him to kiss you, it might work...but just remember that he may never kiss you because he's so shy! Since you say he is shy, I think it would be best to either give HUGE hints about kissing him and THEN go for it, OR ask him directly if it would be okay for you to kiss him. You pick which one's best for the situation. I give you those two options because you don't want to startle your shy guy ;) Good luck!

gakkuhideto answered Saturday April 2 2005, 7:56 pm: Yes! Go ahead and do it! If he's that shy, he might never get around to kissing you, so it's up to you. If he decides he doesn't like a dominant woman, dump him. He's disrespectful. He should be grateful that you even acknowledge his worthless male existence.

uacctk14 answered Saturday April 2 2005, 6:54 pm: it would be alright...it wouldn't be to forward do what you think is right in you rheart if you want to kiss him i say go for it! guys tend to either go really fast or go really slow so do what you think is right.

craazylau answered Saturday April 2 2005, 6:38 pm: The guy making the first move is totally over rated! If it feels right go for it! Just be aware that as he isnt as confident as you you need to be in tune with what hes feeling, so dont be too forward. Fit in with his body language and if he looks like he wants to kiss you give him a helping hand and kiss him yourself! good luck! [ craazylau's advice column | Ask craazylau A Question ]

therocketsummer answered Saturday April 2 2005, 6:04 pm: We'll you don't want to have the first "move", but you can hint you want him to. Guys find it "agressive" when girls make the first move and it's kind of a turn-off to some, so you don't want to turn off your guy! Just hint you want him to kiss you, like lean in closer maybe like tap his lips with your fingers. Don't be too ageressive!
Karen answered Saturday April 2 2005, 5:22 pm: I wouldn't be too forward of you to make the first move to kiss him. It would be alright and if you wait for him to make the first move on you, then it may not happen, since he is somewhat shy, like you said. This guy probably has a lot of weight on his shoulders so by you making the first move will make him feel better and the more you go on dates with him, he won't be shy.

*~Brittany~* answered Saturday April 2 2005, 5:22 pm: first of all send hints to him like try to hold hands and then lean in closer and if he doesn't catch the drift you will just have to be usertive(not sure if it is spelt right) and take action and just go ahead and kiss him..................
