I'm alright at openings and keeping their attention but still get nervous about trying to end it with a kiss close. I've gotten more numbers than I can count. I'd like to say screw the number close and phase shift into a kiss close... Any tips??

Triangulate, which means looking at her left eye, then her right eye then her mouth and repeat (not necesseraly that order) if she does the same kiss her.

Hey man, what tends to help with me is look for visual cues first. A big indicator that she wants to kiss, is her looking at your mouth, and perhaps wetting her lips (I bet you do the same thing to. I know I do ) So, if you're in doubt, keep an eye out for these signs.

Also, when I am ready to kiss a girl, I make sure that I'm already close to her. Planting one on her from 3 inches away is a lot easier and way less awkward than dive bombing her face from 3 feet away. Try putting your arm around the small of her back, and pressing your fingers in to pull her toward you, and you move in slowly. It gives her a sign, and helps the two of you coordinate so one person doesn't have to lean in all the way.

Hope this helps!

Intermittent glances at your mouth is a big giveaway. Also look for NAT, nose avoidance tilting.
