Well as far as kissing goes, that's a maybe.
I have not yet kissed on a first date but I know plenty of folks who have. Topics are usually surface stuff but should be whatever you feel comfortable with.

THAT does stink and yes it is disappointing. But something in his mind prevented his call - he is not sure - or can't remember. But WHATEVER "IT" is - it doesn't matter - he just doesn't pass the test to be date worthy for you - so don't dwell - move on - dating is a long process where a lot of stuff has to line up on both sides.
Hopefully you are enthused by your excitement to have a date and you put this to good use to seek more - it is a numbers game - you have to date a lot of people to find one.
HUGS - and good luck!
