The last time I was in a "kissing is a possibility situation", the guy said, "Kim, don't feel that you have to and I don't mean it as any pressure, but I just wanted you to know, I would really like to kiss you right now."
I'm a bit old-fashioned. I thought it was honest, sweet, and considerate. It kind of made me go, "AAAHHHH," even though I didn't say it, and yeah, I kind of wanted to kiss him. But, not wanting to seem too forward, I opted not to kiss him that particular time.
But as for the next? Well... I suppose I'm not supposed to kiss and tell.
I was really taken by his honest-but-no-pressure approach.
