Why women should NOT kiss men on the first date

As much as men may say they want the first date to end with a kiss, the truth is that they don't.

Why?

Because the things and people we value most are the ones we have to work harder for.

If someone told you they'd give you a trophy with your name and "1st Place" engraved on it, would you want it? Probably not. It really has no value unless you actually achieved something to earn that recognition.

When a woman kisses a man on a first date, she's putting all her cards on the table a little too quickly. It leaves little to the imagination, as the woman is essentially communicating that she likes him enough to smooch him after only a couple of hours spent together.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, but let's face it: We all like a good challenge. When a woman makes a guy wait, he knows he's going to have to work for what he wants. That alone makes her more attractive in his eyes. On the other hand, a kiss that comes too easily may give him the impression that she's "easy" and will likely put out a lot faster than he'd anticipated.

And ladies beware: Guys themselves might try to test you by leaning in for the kiss and seeing if you'll bite.

Now, the reality is that a lot depends on the type of guy you're dating. Are you with:

  • Someone who has just gotten out of a relationship?
  • Someone who has never been in a relationship?
  • Someone who just wants to fool around?
  • Someone with ample relationship experience?
  • Someone who is looking for Ms. Right to settle down with?
If it's any of the first three listed above, then perhaps it won't matter that you kissed him so soon. After all, the first type is on the rebound, the second would probably welcome any female attention he can get, and the third doesn't care what you do as long as it helps him get to the promised land: between your legs.

But the final two bullet points describe men who have likely been on many dates or in several relationships in the past. They're not interested in moving quickly; in fact, they want to take time to get to know the other person. For these guys, a woman who can't leave the kiss for the second or third date probably raises red flags. All kinds of thoughts begin racing through their minds:
  • Maybe she wants to move fast because she wants my money -- and wants it now
  • She has to be easy if she's moving this fast
  • This girl must not be worth it if I can land her this easily
  • This isn't the type of girl I want to take to home -- only the kind I'd bed for a night of fun
You get the idea. I would advise women against kissing -- let alone "giving up" anything else -- on the first date. It's only human nature that what comes too easily isn't seen as valuable. 

I guarantee you, ladies, that if you force him to put a little effort into courting you, he'll appreciate you a lot more in the end.

Sounds alien. Things have value in themselves. Some of my favourite things came to me very easily.

Not that I would be interested in kissing on first date.

Do you have Isolophilia? Find out...

You're probably asking yourself, "What in the world does Isolophilia mean?" It sounds like it would be something negative, doesn't it?  After all, words that end in "philia" (e.g., pedophilia) tend to involve things we want nothing to do with. But Isolophilia isn't something all people deplore. In fact, introverts like me welcome it. Put simply, Isolophilia is defined as having a strong affinity for solitude. It describes a person who relishes being alone. While extroverts can only take so much solitude, we introverts find that it rejuvenates us. In order to recharge our batteries, we need to retreat to a quiet environment where we we're left alone to rest and/or gather our thoughts. Extroverts, on the other hand, become bored and drained when they're alone for a lengthy period of time. Social interaction is the fuel that drives them. So while an extrovert would probably do anything to avoid feelings of Isolophilia in most cases, an...

No response from someone IS a response

Make no mistake about it: When you don't get a response from someone -- whether they fail to answer your texts or return your phone calls -- it is  still a response, and a powerful one at that. When a person fails to respond, it's a direct reflection of their interest -- or lack thereof -- in the relationship. Few things are more aggravating than having to hound a partner, friend, or relative for some sort of reply after we've reached out to them. Yes, we get busy from time to time, but that doesn't give anyone the right to leave the other person hanging. A terse text with something like "Been busy, will reach out soon" doesn't say much, but at least it shows some effort to bring the other person up to speed on why they've fallen off the radar. Failing to provide a response for weeks -- if not months -- communicates that you are just not a priority, and that you'll have to wait your turn to get this individual's attention. This is n...

Women vs. Men: Who likes to backstab more?

Whether it's on TV or in the workplace, the general consensus seems to be that women gossip, backstab, and stir up more conflict than men do. But, as with every other topic, I thought it only fair to put this so-called stereotype under the microscope. If you watch reality shows like Celebrity Apprentice, you'll notice it's the women who spend far more time bickering. While the men do at times become embroiled in tit for tat, it's the women who are portrayed as meaner and more hostile. In the workplace, I have noticed that women seem to gossip far more than their male counterparts. I haven't really seen any cases where a person blatantly backstabs the other, but I have caught both men and women in little white lies. If it is true that women are generally more into backstabbing and gossiping than men, why is this the case? I believe that it isn't fair to make a blanket statement like "all women play these games while all men keep to themselves and pre...
