Exchanged numbers a few months ago from an OLD. So we've been on contact and talking for a bit now. I'm taking her out on our first date in 2 weeks.

 

Is it weird to give her a hug when first meeting her? Is that something you'd want to save for the end of the date when dropping her off home?

 

I have this vision in my head of walking up to her door, saying hi, etc, and just both of us walking back to my car together..and it just looks weird in my mind.

 

After over a month of texting and stuff, would it feel a little weird to not offer a hug or something on the first date when picking her up?

 

What do you guys think?

Smile and a hug.

 

I'm not sure why there was such a delay, but try to meet within a week or two of initial contact.

Some people are tactile like you. Others are not. Take a step toward her to hug her but give her a 1/2 a second to back off if it would make her uncomfortable.

Soooooo, she's letting you pick her up at her house and you met online?

 

Yeah a hug might be a little odd immediately. Give one another some time to acclimate.

A hug would be awkward.

when your behind the wheel honking at her to come out. :laugh:

Such a long time texting before a date....

 

 

Just play it by ear and go for what the situation demands. I've hugged on first dates and not hugged on first dates.

Hmmm. Interesting. How about walking to her front door and ringing the doorbell?

Go for a quick single cheek brush kiss. Sets it as something more than platonic. Not as invasive as a full on hug but still a personal greeting.

If it were me, I'd prefer you wait until the end if the date for a hug . The one time a guy did it at the beginning it felt so awkward. That whole date felt weird.

 

The one other guy I met. Hugged me at the end of the date. It felt very natural. Dated him for a while,really liked him too.

Your setting yourself up for dissapointment if you hug at the end of the date. Go on a couple first. Woman today are super insecure about themselves and stupidly protective. That's why I don't date anymore at all.
