hold hands before kiss?

Okay, so i've been going out with a guy for 2 weeks & we've been good friends for about a year, we're both 18 & never dated before, were going to prom together next friday.....tonight we went to the movies with some friends and then he drove me home. When we parked in my driveway we made plans to see eachother again tomorrow night, and when i get one foot out the car he says "a goodnight kiss?" and i'm like "ummm, arite" & he says "well if youre not comfortable with it no big deal" and i said "okay, maybe some other time then..." and said bye/cya tomorrow & went in my house.....it was (1) realllllly awkward timing (2) we've never even held hands!!?!?!?

is it normal to even kiss before holding hands!?? i felt like i was going from one extreme to the other...i mean i was ready to kiss him and all but i think we should atleast hold hands before to make it really mean something...or was i just overreacting? I feel pretty bad about basically rejecting him :-\

what should i do now??

    I would say holding hands b4 kisss, defianly. But good for u for not giving into pressure, stay that way, and I applaud him for not demanding it. Just tell him this is ur first time and you just aren't there yety. I never kisssed my first b/f/. but when my fiance and I started dating (the only other guy I've dated) I told him I'd never dated, never kissed, and that it wasn't him it was me and I needed to take it slow, and he honored that, and he knew it wasn't a him thing, it was me. If uve dated b4 and done that stuff it moves quicker. and lots of people expect it and only do it cuz its expected. my fiance is the only man Ive ever kissed, and that's the most special thing in the world to me. Keep it. In a world where everyones giving away virginity, kisses, and saying I love u, all those things should mean a lot but they don't anymore. Keep them sacred, don't just give them away, even if it is just a kiss. Because when uve shared a kiss with only one man, its the most special thing in the world. And when u do meet that one, its better for them because they teach u, or u teach eachother how to kiss perfectly for htem. You don't have to deal with the way someone else liked to kiss. Its special to you and it means a lot, just to you. Don't give it away because its expected, give it away because its a specail gift and a first kiss is a kiss you'll always remember and you really want it to be with someone you really love and will always think of fondly. My first kiss was the best moment of my life, and since I shared it with my fiance its something I will be able to relive everymoment one day when we're married. Sometimes, the less you give away the stronger a relationship is. He knew when I finally kissed him that it was smething from the deepest part of my heart, not just something you do. He knew he was special when he kissed me for the first time, because he knew how special kisses were to me.

    usually hand holding comes first but after official weeks of hand holding , I respect him for being patient, and more than that, not forcing you to do anything you were uncomfortable with. obviously he's a great guy. Just think, are you comfortable kissing him? If yes, go for it when you see him tomorrow, tell him you owe him something from yesterday and give him a light kiss. nothing serious but enough to show him you care. If you dont want to kiss him, when you see him tomorrow tell him that you care about him and really appreciate his respect for you in waiting until you were more comfoortable with the situation.

    Good Luck

    God Bless+

    Well do u want to? That is what matters. I mean, I dont know anything about this, but u should only do it if u Really want to. I wish I was in that postion. Anyway, just do what u think is right for u, and if u still say no, then tell him that u shouldnt go so fast. GL!

    You did the right thing. Holding hands is an appropriate way of showing affection and togetherness in public. I would not kiss someone in private who was not comfortable holding my hand in public first.

    next time you go out, hold his hand. it'll let him know that you're interested, but you want to take it slow. if the kiss happens, it happens. don't feel pressured to do anything you dont want to do yet. take it at your own pace. he seems nice enough to go at YOUR pace, just as long as you don't put him in the "friend" category or vice versa. good luck and have fun at the prom =)

    of course it's normal. You can kiss a guys even you didn't hug them or put his arm around you. It's same thing as you can have sex without kissing the guy.

    Next time you see him don't say anything, just stand facing him, grab both his hands in yours, reach up and kiss him. That's what I would do... have fun!

    what you should have done is just gently place your hands on his cheeks or ears and give him a nice kiss
