But no...
Also, after talking to a guy friend about his prom experience, he mentioned that he thought that his date was expecting a kiss from him. But that he didn't think he had the balls to do it. He said that he was too busy debating whether or not to kiss her that by the time he figured that he should... the moment had passed.
That said, the point of the story is this:
Don't wait for opportunities. Make them.
And of course, this doesn't merely apply to such trivial matters as kisses and dances, but to subjects of far greater importance. You know, college, careers, serious relationships, all of those things.
You see, by the time you realize that you have an opportunity, it'd be too late.
While I agree with the sentiment of not wasting opportunities, the particular case that you cite is one that is particularly dangerous. With the rise of modern (militant) feminism, for the man to instigate anything has become dreadfully taboo, and could result in serious consequences. From there, it's a simple game theory expression: Chance I kiss her and nothing goes wrong < Chance I kiss her and end up suspended/in jail for attempted rape/without a friend.
