This question is straightforward enough. I don't mean necessarily having sexual relations.

But maybe hugging, kissing, gentle foreplay and those sorts of things.

I let the woman set the timelines for the most part, but kissing/hugging usually date one and sex has ranged anywhere from date one to date three depending on the girl.

There was one woman I tried slowing things down with and did not go in for the kiss on the first date, and didn't have sex by the third date. I tried to control the pacing in that relationship as I knew it was kind of a fragile situation and didn't want to push things. Generally, I like to show some aggression if there's interest, but let the woman proceed as she is comfortable.

Hopefuly within an hour. Each relationship is unique so there is no correct answer, really. Why do people always look for these stupid rules that apply to every sheep on this planet? Make your own rules.

I've never kissed/made out before the second date. Doesn't mean I never would though. It depends on the circumstances. It only takes more than three dates when I'm not really attracted to the guy.

Its up the the person's individual level of comfort. A date without a kiss would be weird to me though. Does that happen? I would be left confused. Its why I don't bother to wait and kiss the guy first.

You've got to allow chemistry to dictate what should happen when.

If I'm interested enough in a woman to date her, then my chemistry with her works lightning fast.

One hour???

So wait, is this a date as in the first time you've EVER gone out with the person?

And you're saying an hour into it you should be making out? That's basically while you're still in the restaurant, if it's dinner.

I think this is why my GF who's in the midst of online dating says three out of five guys she meets just want to hook up and are asking her to come to their place right after they have drinks for the first time.

Guys, that's called "unrealistic expectations."

SETTLE DOWN!

For me it went like this:

Hugging: Way before ever having a date. That is just how I roll though. Still it was after I met her.

Holding hands: On the date. I see it as kind of sexy to take a girls hand in mine. If you don't know how to do it I don't have the time to teach you now. Still this can be very sensual.

Kissing: On the first date. Why not. See nothing wrong with this, but you may want to make sure that your date sees nothing wrong with it also. I did go out one time with a girl that wouldn't kiss on the first date, and I was trying to get a kiss at the end of the date. Still I am talking a kiss here and there and not making out.

Holding each other for a long time, lets say while watching a sunset or something, I would wait a couple dates for this one as you are still getting to know each other.

Heavy kissing: For me I waited till after getting engaged, but that is me. Most people won't wait that long.

Everything else was after the wedding. And I don't regret the wait. We have 6 kids now. LOL
