Hey everyone, I (27M) went on a third date today with a girl (27F). Until that date, I hadn't kissed her yet. Usually I can get a read via body language + flirting when to lean in for a kiss, but I didnt get those cues with her. So after a hug when dropping her off, I asked her point blank "Can I kiss you?". She said sure, a couple smooches then went inside. Later that evening, i suggested planning another date and she politely said she wasn't feeling the connection to date further.
Could straight asking to kiss like that be a deal breaker for some ladies? Definitely not the smoothest way to go about it and all good if she didnt feel a connection, but I wonder if thats enough for ladies to pull the plug.
