"How much does a kiss mean on a first date? How about a make-out? And a sleepover? They all mean different things, right? They all mean something, right? The real answer is &amp;amp;#8220;not necessarily.&amp;amp;#8221; Let&amp;amp;#8217;s take the example sent in by this reader: &amp;quot;I just got home from a great date. We went out for pie (cute), had a lot to talk about, made each other laugh, found out we have a lot in common, and the night flew by. He made references to future plans, such as me visiting the restaurant where he works and doing illustrations for a children&amp;#x27;s book he&amp;#x27;s writing, but when we said goodnight there was no mention of a second date. Just a hug, &amp;#x27;Thanks for meeting up,&amp;#x27; and &amp;#x27;That was a lot of fun.&amp;#x27; Is this the kiss of death or do some guys not always bring up going on a second date? Should I send a text?&amp;quot; --Date Debate There is a chance that Mr. No Kiss has a case of the nerves, or that he may call, but when I have a great first date, I always do two things: make future plans and kiss her goodnight. Aside: I agree that it is unbelievably cute that he took you for pie; I am stealing that one (What is it with pies and stealing? They&amp;amp;#8217;re constantly being kidnapped from windowsills where they are just sitting there, trying to cool down. Pie crust recipes are stolen constantly from bakers. My mom has even &amp;amp;#8220;stolen&amp;amp;#8221; a cup of sugar from a neighbor before while making a pie. Something to think about). We tend to say &amp;amp;#8220;let&amp;amp;#8217;s do this again,&amp;amp;#8221; without making actual plans to do so when we have no plans to do and we&amp;amp;#8217;re trying to be polite. There have definitely been times when I have liked someone and didn&amp;amp;#8217;t go in for a kiss, or make more plans. But not really since college. And yes, unfortunately, there is a big difference between talking about future stuff&amp;amp;#8212;like visits and science projects&amp;amp;#8212;but that doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t really mean anything unless they are followed up with definite plans, and hopefully a tongue in your mouth. I don&amp;#x27;t think you should send a text. If he&amp;amp;#8217;s into it, he&amp;amp;#8217;ll be in touch. And if not; it&amp;amp;#8217;s no big deal. Not everyone is going to vibe with you, or me, or Jennifer Aniston on a first date. Consider it practice for your next really good date. Do you think no kiss is the kiss of death?
