It’s been several dates now and you are yet to be kissed by him.

This is not something you are used to.

He is moving painfully slow, and you are contemplating whether he is actually interested in you.

But then, he keeps initiating conversations with you daily, and asks you out on dates.

So what gives?

There are moments where you are more confident that he is interested.

There has been a little hand-holding on one date and hugging on another.

That being said, 4 dates in, you have never had a guy be this slow in making a move to kiss you.

This is what has you pondering whether you should kiss him on your next date with him.

You are worried that the longer this goes without a kiss, the greater the likelihood this falls into a weird friendship, and the romantic aspirations you were hopeful about diminish.

Basically, given how slow it’s been in getting a kiss, you don’t see it happening unless you do something about it.

You are right in mentally questioning why he hasn’t kissed you thus far.

The good news is that he keeps initiating conversations with you in-between dates and asking you out on dates.

This means you don’t have to worry about whether this guy is interested in you or not.

This is a guy that is too shy to kiss you.

He doesn’t have that much of a past in dating.

To be honest, he has most likely never shared a kiss with a girl before.

He wants to kiss you but is terrified to do so.

He is worried that if he does it, you would be unhappy, and consider it rude and premature.

Additionally, he is worried that the kiss would be awful, given his lack of experience, and as a result, he loses you.

The thought of you being upset at his audacity to instigate a kiss with you, or being disgusted by his kiss, holds him back from attempting to kiss you.

He doesn’t want to mess things up with you.

This is where you come in.

He is hoping that you either make a move to kiss him or ask him to kiss you.

Keeping this in mind, you don’t have to worry about whether he would be open to your kiss.

He would be.

There is a caveat though.

Don’t expect the kiss to be any good.

This isn’t a guy who has much of a past in kissing girls, if any.

It does you good not to have too much of an expectation on how good the kiss is.

Many women have expectations of a first kiss, basing whether they would want to see a guy again based on how good the first kiss is.

It’s best you be prepared for what is about to happen.

The first kiss you share with him is going to be awkward.

But, here’s the good news.

It gets better.

With practice, he is going to improve at doing it and will start initiating kisses too.
