It can be tough being a man. You’re expected to have the first date planned to run perfectly, including making the first move. It’s a lot of pressure, especially if you’re not self-confident or you’ve been out of the dating scene for a while.
How do you know if she wants you to say goodbye as friends or if she wants the storybook goodnight kiss?
Easy Signs That She’s Ready To Pucker Up
-
You’re on your second date.
Maybe you played the good guy the first time or her roommate was staring you down when you dropped her off at home. Or perhaps – seriously? – you chickened out on the kiss.
If she’s agreed to see you again, then she’s interested in you enough to let you kiss her.
In fact, if you wait too long, she’s going to assume you’re not attracted to her!

She pops a mint
She wants her breath to be fresh when you kiss her. If you notice her sneaking a mint from her purse, then you know your kiss is welcomed. And by all means, if she offers you one, take it!
-
Her body is screaming “Kiss me already!”
Body language is the easiest way to see if a woman is into you. Here are a few things you will notice if she’s dreaming about locking lips with you later:
-
Legs – She’s pointing her foot at you when her legs are crossed.
-
Hands – Constant smoothing of her hair is a clear sign that she wants to look good for you. Other signs that she is anxious, but receptive to a kiss, involve her playing with her rings or other jewelry.
-
Eyes – If she’s making regular, sustained eye contact, you are as good as gold. Whether she knows it or not, she’s using her eyes as magnets, trying to pull you closer.
-
Arms – They should be relaxed – not crossed over her chest. Better yet, she’s making some sort of contact with you. If she’s reached out to touch you, even if it was to brush a crumb of food from your shirt, then she is receptive to a kiss.
-
Lips – It’s the end of the date and you’re having that “We Really Should Go Home But I Don’t Want This To End” talk. You notice her tongue darting out a tiny bit every so often. This is another flashing green light: she’s making sure her lips aren’t dry for when you kiss her. Hurry up and do it!
-
Mirroring – If you reach for your drink, she reaches for hers. If you run your hand through your hair, she does the same. Mirroring is a classic sign of attraction.
-
-
The Final Countdown – She’ll turn her body to face you and create a sense of intimacy by leaning in slightly. (Sometimes this is part of a signature flirting move like leaning in to whisper in your ear if it’s “too noisy” where you’re standing.)
These signs are a big flashing green light – go!
“But… but…”
Still not sure? Try out one of these moves to gauge her reaction to contact:
-
Innocent
“Hang on, you have a thread on your shirt here.”
Reach over and pretend to pick a tiny piece of thread off her shoulder and then quickly flick it away to the floor. If her knee-jerk reaction is to back off (even slightly) then it’s a no-go for kissing her.
-
Not-So-Innocent
“Hold still… you have an eyelash on your cheek.”
This move is all about timing. Slowly reach your hand towards her face while you’re saying this so she doesn’t have a chance to say, “Oh, I’ll get it myself.” Gently stroke your finger over her cheekbone and then declare everything to be perfect again. If she’s smiling, then it’s all systems go.
You Can Do It!
Just remember, a first kiss will be remembered if it is soft, gentle, and romantic. Save your signature tongue moves for a later date. Gently cradle her beautiful face in your hands and kiss her softly to sweep her off her feet. If you can make her heart flutter, she’s yours.
