or "better to repent than regret" (I believe that is also an english saying, though I may be wrong)

[sp332]

It's close, "Better to ask forgiveness than permission."

I thought of this too but considered it as different. forgiveness/permission is what I'd think of before kissing a girl, while repent/regret would be what I'd think before going out with her ;)

Thanks for the reply.
