Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health Earlier today, I asked what you EXPECT on a date if you are paying for the date:
If you are paying for a date, what do you expect in return?
Problems with expectations and who is paying, etc. are most likely to arise on a first date.
This question asks something a little different. Regardless of who is paying, when you and a potential partner have agreed to a first date, and you are anticipating what might happen on that date, what is it that you REALISTICALLY hope will happen by mutual assent? Do you hope and think you might end up having sex, just holding hands, just having a goodnight kiss?
On most first dates I have had, I realistically hope that the date will end with a goodnight kiss. I know it is possible that one kiss can lead to a more passionate kiss and who knows where that leads, but - realistically - the most I think will happen is a goodnight kiss. And that's enough!
What do you HOPE for (not expect) on a first date?

All the above really
If the date is going really well, I'd even expect sex.
Like, me and my current partner had sex on our first date and we're together since last July.
I hope for a kiss if not sex
Hello, can you message me?
Thank you.
I'd like to arrive to the date like this 😂

I hope he doesn't expect sex, since that's only for marriage. I also hope for a second date if the first one went well.
@missycloak What is it like, for the first date that 'went well'? What do you expect on that first date? Would you go on a date with a much older man?
A kiss always means it goes well
Hope for a respectful good night kiss and nothing more
Respectful = just on the lips? That is all that I really hope for on a first date. I don't expect to be probing her tonsils with my tongue or groping other parts.
It's more like each date is a different step and maybe on third or fourth we can get physically intimate. I want to know I've found a person I have the potential to date before I give that much of myself to them
I have the same attitude. Not looking for a hookup and a good prospect for a long term partner is one who is not going to get intimate immediately.
