How do you greet on First date?Page 2 of 4    (1, 2, 3, 4)
I don't usually touch the person at all. One guy spread his arms wide open to give me a big hug. I was taken back and didn't go for it. It just didn't feel right.

"Am I the only one or doesn't anyone look into your date's eyes, smile, take the lady's hand, kiss it gently, and say, "Hi, are we gonna get some tonight?""

I thought this one was funny!!! Ditto for 7 - honk honk!

I haven't hugged on a first date. Just a verbal greeting, a smile. Now the SECOND date, that's going to be another story....

Although I would be hugging a couple of people on first meeting....but those are people I have been talking to forever and have yet to meet because of distance.

A Big Hug if I feel comfortable with him (and he is receptive) and if it happens naturally a kiss is not out of the question(end of the date); however, I have met a few guys who I was not comfortable with, so i simply shook their hand. It's a matter of going with your gut instinct and doing what feels natural to you.

Well, even silly ole me knows ya can get cooties from railings that everyone has touched. Duh. I also know you're more likely to get more cooties from that railing if'n ya lick it or rub yer face all over it (simulating kiss and hug).

I opt for butt sniffing myself. Works wonders in the dog community. Oddly enough, I never get a second date.

Topiary Cows love hugs, and are open to the cheeky kiss kiss, and when on a first meet, always offer to shake hands.

Big smile - usually say something casual like "Hi - it's you! - Hug is good if I'm comfortable - I know right away. Kiss on the cheek or both cheeks if we've built some good chemistry in chatting or talking on the phone. And I agree with laserjet29 - it's in the eyes and the smile - always!

It depends on how long you've known them... Hand shake if it's been a short time and you are close enought that you're meeting after a short time... but for some people.. i've yahoo'd msn'd or iRC'd with for years... then a definate HUG/kiss on the cheek!

I have an interesting story. I e-maile back and forth with this girl and we got so comfortable with each other that we were telling each other that we like hugging and kissing and PDA. We decided to meet and she said one of the coolest things to me that I have ever heard. We were going to meet at a local bar for the Red Sox, Yankees game and she said to me "Meet me in the parking lot at 7:00, I'll be driving the white BMW, if you like what you see, come up to me and plant one on me, if you don't like what you see, just leave and we'll chalk it up to experience. I really like what I saw and the rest is history. I thought that was a great way to greet someone that you were very interested in, and that you already had an "e-mail relationship" with. The rest of the date was fantastic with closeness and talking, and PDA. The uncomfortable.......when do I make the move.........part was already taken care of. I love it...........what do you guys think

i think a hug is still good for meeting the first time cause what if he has bad breath then the whole date would be a turn off

In my country is perfectly normal that you can greet someone with a hug and a kiss in the cheek.

Well I like to give her hug and while I'm at it, get a big handful of that booty and give it a squeeze. Melts them like butter ;)

shake hands when first meet - at end of date, depending on how it went, another handshake, a hug, or just a wave and 'bye'!
i can't imagine kissing anyone i just met for the first time, no matter how the date went...blech! they are still a stranger!

As I am a bit old fashioned, usually for me it is to take the hand and brush lightly my lips across while doing a half bow. Lasses truly seem to like it.

I prefer a good handshake. Oh, wait a min, that's not my hand. Why am I smilling and she's got sticky hands?

on the first date a soft kiss and a hug will get you every time but a man should never come on strong that is a no no and a kiss should be easy and soft not trying to eat you that is sloppie and a turn off. soft one

Am I the only one or doesn't anyone look into your date's eyes, smile, take the lady's hand, kiss it gently, and say, "Hi, are we gonna get some tonight?"

Not sure how your dates react but I have to say I am laughing my tail off right now! You have a great sense of humor!
