Kissing on the first date, is it skanky?

Last Saturday night I went on a date with a policeman I met through an online dating website; yes I can hear the moans, the judgement and the 'oh my god she must be dog ugly to go on a website'.

Well one, how dare you call me dog ugly! And two don't throw stones.

You should have seen the policeman. Tall (6 foot), dark brown hair, broody eyes, and beautiful strong arms. Basically, he was hot. I had seen his photo before we met and he looked pretty good on site but in person I was one happy camper! Or a happy jail bird?

So he messages me while I am driving to the date to tell me he has arrived early and can he pre-order my drink for me... check! Red wine, thank you very much.

I do the last minute check: breathe, hair, arm pits, pout and push up bra a little more and make my way to the local pub in the city. There is sitting at the back of the room, with my red wine waiting and a lovely smile on his face. As he leaned into kiss my cheek, I stumbled a bit and grabbed my elbow to hold me steady. Yes, I am starting to sound likes a Mills and Boon book but it kind of was like that.

Anyway we sit down, we sip our drinks and start the questions:

So how was your day?
What made you want to do ice hockey? Boot camp?
What's your job like?
You travel a lot, what's your favourite place?

Blah, blah, blah. Yarda, yarda, yarda.

Its safe to say there were no gaps in conversation, no awkwardness, nothing. It was fantastic.

So he suggests dinner, I choose, he pays. I even offered to go and pay, he said no. So I bought him a drink and flashed him my winning smile and leaned in a bit. Not slutty cause the top I was wearing covered all so there was no way he was getting a glimpse of anything on a first date.

I am lady!

As the date concluded, he walked me to my car and at my car, steps in and surprises me by kissing me. Yeah imagine my face...

He surprised me so much that I believe my teeth hit his.

I didn't see it coming!

So he said, 'we can do better than that' and kisses me again!

Now, I was still stunned from the first one because I have never been kissed on a first date. Ever! It just not on. I barely know the guy or his surname, and here he is kissing me.

I smile and he says drive safely, I'll call you later.

Right, so the date was on Saturday and its been a week... I suspect I'm being blow off.

It is wrong! It was a great date. Who kisses someone on a first date and then doesn't call? Seriously, I asking.

I am not going to sound completely stuck up but I am pretty. I look good, I take care of myself, I have shiny hair, and a nice face. Basically, I look good! So what the fuck!

I am thinking of texting him or possibly emailing him but common sense is telling me to keep away from technology.

The wait begins....
