kissing on the first date is fine with me; however, I do not view this as a yes/no question. It really depends on the girl and what she feels comfortable with. In that case, it really means what we both feel comfortable with, because there is no such thing as a great kiss that is forced. If it is natural, feels right, and both parties are enjoying the time, why not?

As for how far to take it, that again depends on the person and how both parties are feeling towards each other. If each wants to have intercourse, DO IT! If not, DONT! Test the waters. I really don't think people should have a principle that is set in stone with respect to this question, but I think it is an excellent question (THANKS MAUDE) to discuss due to its complexity.
