Ok, I want to see how many woman like or dislike this. If you were to talk to a guy on the internet and felt comfortable enough to meet him at his place. Lets say you engaged in an activity of watching tv or a movie. would it be a turn off to you if he held your hand and cuddled with you? just a curious question.

It depends on if I'm attracted to him or not. You never know until you meet in person if there is chemistry. If there is, I wouldn't mind at all. If there isn't, it's not going to happen.

First off, I would never meet a man for a first meeting at his place. So, guess I am not much help, but if I were to get to the point where I was comfortable going to his house, physical affection would not bother me.

I don't do my place or his before it's been a month or so, no matter how much I like him...there's no rush for that. But once that starts happening, then that's different.

And no, I'm not a really affectionate person till I've known someone a while, and even then there are times and places for it.

I would never meet a man at his house... NEVER.... a first meeting should be someplace public.

No public displays of affection on the first date or meeting... Ok maybe a hug. I don't kiss strangers....

holding hands --maybe, if there was chemistry and definitively wouldn't be at eachother's place on the first date....maybe 3rd or 4th but that's stretchin' it!

If I like him, I'll do my best to encourage it.

Absolutely not, as long as we were both feeling a connection. Alot of guys are afraid to make that move first though I have found. Especially if you aren't sure for both parties if the other is into you or not.

I don't think any woman or man should meet at someone's place. I think a first meeting should be somewhere public. There isn't any rush in getting to know someone and there is tons to do that doesn't involve going to someone's house.

If you are out and you really feel it, go for it, but everyone is different and you could get rejected for moving too fast or it could be welcomed. Do what you feel is right.

Generally speaking, first meeting I meet in a public place.

However... there's been a couple of guys that for whatever reason I've let them come over to my place which is really NOT a good idea... but I've been lucky so far knock on wood.

Anyway, if I'm attracted to the dude, hell yeah I'm all about hand holding and cuddling if we're both feeling it.

Are you crazy? The first date? Never invite anyone to your place, never go to her place, never ask for her address and never give your address. Protect each other. She'll appreciate that. Don't even exchange phone numbers. There are lunatics out there man, don't be a babe in the woods...

If there's mutual attraction, I see nothing wrong with a little bit of affection. What does concern me about the original post is that there are still people out there willing to meet someone for the first time at one of their homes. This is nowhere near safe! Sorry, but no guy sees my place unless we've been dating for at least a month. I'd like to know someone a bit better before I invite him into my home.

I hope for your sake you aren't expecting to find someone. Because if you're not even willing to do that, then how in the world are they supposed to get in touch with you?

I just realized how terrible I must have sounded.

"sorry, you can't come in and I won't come in for another... 25 days!" haha I like it already

It's more like this... if I start dating a guy, let's say we get together maybe once per week at first. By the time the third or fourth date rolls around, I'd probably feel I knew him well enough at that point to invite him inside for coffee or something.
Lordy... my last post made me sound like I had a stopwatch going.

I can understand not having a first date / meeting at someone's house. But not exchanging phone numbers before a date is not a good idea. What happens if someone is late or has to postpone a date for some reason? It could be easier to reach that person by phone instead of email. Just give him your cell ( not your home ) phone number. Cell phones aren't traceable.

definately not. I think that it would be a major turn on. I love to cuddle so it would put a huge smile on my face!

If you're into the person, holding hands and cuddling is nice if not, not so much and preferably not at all.

The only women that would meet you for the first time at your place are called escorts and even they are leary about their safety in that sort of situation.

Perosnally I don't cuddle with my friends. Physicial affection is meant for my significent other.
