Yes you didn't mention that you had been escalating kino from the begining. You should from about 15-30 seconds into meeting you start some light kino. The kino grows as the night goes on so when you go in for the kiss it's not a big deal, but the next logical step.

So my advice to you is start kino esclating sooner in your interactions, and it won't be as hard to pull the trigger.
Also perhaps use a kiss gambit like, "Do you want to kiss me?" Yes- Kiss her. Maybe- "Let's find out" Kiss her. No- "I didn't say you could, just looked like you had something on your mind!"
Happy Sarging!
