Just out of curiosity, if the man doesn't actually kiss her then how will the girl know that she was successful in making the man want to kiss her?? 😕 Good question. But the cardinal rule of kissing, as confirmed by Hitch is that you never single handedly complete the kiss 100%. You always lean in only 50% and the remaining 50% will be completed by the other person if they too want to kiss you. Most girls flirting (and mayhap unfairly) do so only because they want the man interested and attracted to them, but do not really want to receive the full attention. That is why to save themselves of the embarrassment of a 50% lean in with the other party leaving them hanging men have had to adapt maneuvers like the yawn stretch, something under your eye, brushing your hair back, I'm going to lean over completely and untie my laces and tie them again. That way you make eye contact, and show your intent but there is always another very good reason why you did so.
Although, if you have the confidence and self security, and want to be chivalrous, you may always go ahead and announce your intent and permission to kiss. This is done rarely because no one wants to be rejected, and also because some girls can be real B**ches and misconstrue the situation. However, since its rarely done, most people who have the confidence and finesse to do it have successful results.
Now the conventional rules do not apply for mistletoe, new years midnight, spin the bottle or playing chicken.
