Of course I have been out of the dating market for over 18 years since my husband and I started dating exclusively, moved in together and got married. The world of dating and the way men approach a woman may have vastly changed since then but I doubt it.

There were only a few instances in my life when a man was so hesitant as to ask if he could kiss me. Most didn't and most tried to take it to the next step if they could (without, however, Dee Marie's thrilling violence). Oh yes, one or two tried that smash her up against the wall and restrain her thing...now what were their phone numbers again? I'll gladly pass them along. I thought they were boorish and insensitive jerks who just wanted what they wanted and to hell with my feelings.

But if that rings your chimes, Dee Marie, I hope they are unmarried and available..somewhere out there waiting for you.

I get no impression that men are afraid of women and afraid to make a seductive approach once there is a relationship established and it is a good bet they will be accepted. Plenty of men do not like rejection and are nervous about making the first move but so far as I remember it was always that way, even into the antiquities of the late 1960's and the sexual revolution.

I think having a man ask if he could kiss me would be sweet. I really don't think it indicates he's a wimp, it indicates that he cares about how I feel about what's happening to me. If he continued to ask permission everytime throughout the relationship I might find that a little odd. I like a man who's not afraid to take charge of the relationship, but I don't think that taking a woman's feelings into account makes you unable to do that.
