By kissing you on the cheek, he was trying to show affection without overdoing it.

He may be a gentleman and may have been worried that if he kissed you on the lips on the first date, he would be too forward and presumptuous.

Being that you have already been talking to this guy on an internet dating website for a while, he may have been really nervous about that date.

He may have been worried about overstepping his boundaries.

Being that all this build up has occurred prior to meeting you, he may have replayed how this date would go in his mind.

He may have been worried about messing up.

He may have wrestled with himself as the end of that meet up approached.

He may have asked himself whether he should go for the kiss on the lips or not.

He may not have even made his decision until right around the moment that he kissed you on the cheek.

Again, being that you finally got to meet this guy after talking on an internet dating website, this would indicate that the both of you have spent a good amount of time getting to know each other on the internet dating website.

This means that this is a guy who is really patient.

He conducted a conversation with you on the internet dating website over a sustained period of time before finally meeting you.

Hence, he may be a guy who is very deliberate in how he goes about wooing a girl.

He may have only decided to meet you after having gotten a really good sense of who you are as a person and ascertaining whether he would be able to get along with you in life.

Hence, the fact that he went for a kiss on the cheek instead of on the lips would hearken back to the character that he has shown on the internet dating website thus far.

Very patient, calculating and deliberate.

This may be the approach that he is using with you now that the both of you have finally met in real life.

He may want to continue the process of being patient, calculating and deliberate with you as he takes his interaction with you into the real world.

Another reason why this guy may have kissed you on the cheek could have been because he never got the proper read from you that it would be alright to kiss you on the lips.

In other words, he may have sensed that you were closed off during the date.

You may not have responded well to his flirts during the date or your body language may have been uninviting.

There may have been a way that you went about behaving during the date that made him feel that you just weren’t into him all that much.

Being that there has been a build up to this meet up, he may have been disappointed that he was getting this kind of vibe from you.

He was probably expecting more excitement and electricity from you.

Being that he just wasn’t getting the feeling that you were all that into him during the date, he may have decided it best to kiss you on the cheek by the end of it.

He didn’t want to make you uncomfortable by trying to kiss you on the lips nor did he want to put himself in an awkward position by doing so.
