I'm wondering if it's ok to greet a guy on a date by hugging him and giving him a kiss on the cheek and then at the end of the date a short and sweet kiss on the lips...(I already know this guy fairly well, but now we're going on a date).

Hi Lizzy,

I think the hug and kiss on the cheek when he arrives would be great. I did the very same thing with a guy who was a friend and I knew fairly well.. He was coming over for dinner for the first time, it too was our first date and I did exactly what you plan to do. He walked in the door and while he did look at me and wonder what I would do next I did come closer and gave him a hug and kissed him on the cheek; he looked a tad startled but smiled big at me and tweaked my nose. When he left, he motioned to give me a hug but we did not kiss at all. I wouldn't kiss him on the lips at all unless he made the first move. Anyhow, a few months later we were talking about our first date and he mentioned that he really liked it that I hugged him and kissed him on the cheek when he first walked in the door. Told me it kind of broke the ice a bit because he was nervous (I bet I was more). Anyhow, I believe he will appreciate that gesture but again I would let him make the exit move. Good luck to you. Lucy
