On 3rd date, I tried to give a goodnight kiss and was given the cheek. What do you think I should do next?

I am 34, and I have gone out on two dates with this Russian woman, 30, who is very beautiful, intelligent, kind and we definitely had chemistry... or so I thought. Met for coffee and hit it off. I took her to a nice restaurant on our second date and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Invited her to Santa Monica for a third date, things seemed to be going well, we ate at a restaurant, listened to live music, walked on the Pier, held hands, laughed. And as we were saying goodnight, I tried to kiss her and she gave me the cheek. :^/ Earlier she did say she felt nervous and explained that she had had only two boyfriends previously but I'm confused. What do you think I should do now?


Give her some space and let her call me if she is interested?


Just brush it off, ask her on a 4th date and see how she reacts?


Or should I contact her, and ask her if I was reading her right that she isn't interested, and possibly give her a chance to explain?


Or just forget about it and move on?

Give her a few days alone, and if she does not call then call her and ask her if she wants to go on another date, if she hesitates at all she is not interested, and you can go move on. If she does want to go on another date then you should talk to her and try to find out if it is nerves or if it is some sort of dating rule that is preventing her from kissing you back. Dating Rules, yes most women have them- no kiss until fifth date, no sex until it has been a month etc... If it is that then be glad that she is sticking to her morals, and be patient with her. If it is nerves then make her as comfortable as possible, women as I am sure men do, want the first kiss to be perfect, and they are nervous about it so just take your time if she really is interested then it will not be that long.

Maybe you should just ask her on another date. Just because she was nervous about kissing doesn't mean she isn't interested,you said that the two of you had a good time.
Reply:I must say my friend, that it's not looking good. I don't see myself as a "male chauvenist pig", but I think she sees you as a meal ticket.


Three dates %26amp; you haven't kissed her! If she likes you %26amp; enjoys your company, then a kiss on the lips is not a strange thing to expect.


Take her out one more time %26amp; ask her straight what her thoughts are.


P.S. She's a beautiful 30 year old %26amp; has only ever had 2 boyfriends? Don't you find that a bit odd?


I know ugly 15 year olds who've had 4 boyfriends.

During the 4th date maybe the conversation will allow you to ask her
Reply:My advice is for your next date, ask someone else out, that girl is definitely not interested anymore.
Reply:Hit a home-run.
Reply:Go on several more dates with her. Take things slow. (are you familiar with Russia's customs?) If after a couple of months, things don't progress, either blow her off...Or ask why?.
Reply:just take her on another date give her space
Reply:I liked your last option: "Or should I contact her, and ask her if I was reading her right that she isn't interested, and possibly give her a chance to explain?


Or just forget about it and move on? "





Just be prepared to hear that she's not interested.





It'll be ok.
Reply:it your truely interested having more relations with this women,then stay with the cheek until she turns to your mouth...this does not mean she isnt interested..
Reply:Just brush it off and ask her on another date





Different cultures treat things and situations differently





Don't try and think too hard about it





Just let it happen and see where it goes.
Reply:I think you should definatly ask her out again. Maybe she was just nervous, or maybe she wasn't ready for a real kiss. She could be scared, or maybe she wants to take things slow.
Reply:Seems she might not be that intersted in you if she doesn't want to kiss by the 3rd date although it may be some Russian custom or perhaps she has a different set of values then you or I where she comes from. I would ask her out again, have a fun date, and try again. If she gives the cheek again I'd ask her why. Communication is always the best answer in relationships.
Reply:you should wait and give her space call her in 2-3 days and if she wants to go out again ...then at the end of the night try again if she still gives you the cheek she is 1, not interstest in a relationship/ friends only deal, 2. she is proper and is waiting hell she is from russia who knows how they are raise ... it maybe a 5-6 date rule that she goes by... or 3... she does like you but is insecure and thinks she can kiss...then talk to her...





and finaly... i am 27 and available for kissing anytime :)
Reply:get in her pants
Reply:what u need to do is let her make your next move. She may think things are moving to quick. Get to know her more and let life take its course.
Reply:I say you need to give her some space, because obviously she hasn't gotten over her other boyfriends.
