Is it Okay to Touch a Woman on the First Date?

Definitely. At least if you (maybe even intuitively) know what women need, to feel comfortable enough to go that step “early.” It’s a progression a lot of guys struggle with. So let‘s get to it.

If you own the behavior that allows a woman’s attraction to grow quickly naturally, touching and kissing should be happening on the first date. That shows confidence and that you believe that you’re worthy of being with her romantically.

Of course, timing and respect are everything here. Ideally, you let her give you a subtle invitation. Women usually do that when they are ready to be touched. That might be touching your lower arm, boxing your upper arm after you teased her a lot, or simply not minding when your shoulders are touching when sitting down. It can be so simple, if you know how to read her body language.

Having said that, it can also be the case that she will not give you that invitation. In this case, you need to make the first move as soon as you feel that the two of you got close enough mentally and emotionally to simply match that physically. With a little experience, that might be after the first half of the first date.
You could start by touching her shoulder when you want her to turn at a crossroad on the way to the next location, or by touching her lower back and keeping your hand there for a while. If she leans into you, leans back into your arm, or touches you in any form, she’s ready for it. If not, you take your hand back, give her space, and politely try again later when you sense she’s more comfortable after more conversation and flirting.

It‘s also fine and even important to at least try to kiss her on the first date. If she leans into you after the first touch and you’re holding her in your arm, that’s a good sign it’s close to the point where it’s time to kiss. If it doesn’t happen during the date, you could also try to kiss her when saying goodbye. Again, it shows that you believe you’re deserving of her.

Whether a woman is ready to be touched and kissed on the first date also depends a lot on whether you’ve been able to grow her attraction before the date. For example, if you asked her out confidently and didn’t call her the same day you got her number, she’ll be more excited to get to know you. It also depends on whether you go out with women that you’re really attracted to and have great chemistry with from the start.

Also, think of it this way: if you don’t make a move before the end of the date, you’re likely to lose your chance to see her again. If it feels slightly too early, she’ll probably still see it as confidence, and it won’t necessarily mean you ruined your one and only opportunity.

Lots of success!
