Not all women want a man to be "a gentleman" all the time...It may amaze you to know that they are healthy sexual beings as well, with desires and appetites of their own...but many of them don't want to be the one to initiate, for fear of being seen as a 'slut'. I'm not advocating, nor have I ever practised "date rape"- but men do themselves a big favour by learning to read the signals-
You said that you were never one to kiss on a first date, and then seem surprised that some of the women who "rejected" you were unaware of your affections- did it ever occur to you that for at least some of them, not (or at least not trying to) kissing them on a first date is taken as a sign that you:

1.aren't interested in or attracted to her

2.lack the confidence in yourself to do so.
