It’s your first date with a girl you’ve liked for months. Okay, maybe years. The night is drawing in for a close and you’ve only got a few moments to make an impression. How does one end such a wonderful night? How does one leave yet still make her want another date?
Don't rush in for a kiss.
Considering it’s a first date, it’s not practical to jump in for a kiss. Some, or even most girls, prefer to save the kiss for another date. If you’ve only met her during that date, then a kiss is not advisable. If you’ve known her for quite some time, build up the moment. Don’t surprise her but don’t make her expect it either. Find a moment in the middle. An indication of silence after a good night usually says “kiss me, damn it.”
Keep it cool.
If you’re very nervous, do not show it. Or at least, don’t make it too obvious. Don’t panic if you can’t find the right words. Do your best to stay smooth but alert for signals. Keep the conversation going without any awkwardness. Silences are acceptable, as long as they are appropriate.
The best way to end a first date is by making a segue to the next one.
