Back when the duck face was acceptable

I think duckface evolved from kissy face

*devolved

But you had to wait for the third date to get a kiss...

Yea I'd say it's still worth it

It's worth it today, for the right person.
Hell, my first 3 dates with my ex-wife went handshake, hug, kiss, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
I will say that I was worried that there wouldn't be a second date based on the handshake, though personally, I wouldn't have been comfortable going any farther than a hug, myself.
