Have a look at some kiss-close routines in some good pick-up literature (like PUAtraining, MM, RSD etc...) or in this forum. Use it as a crutch. Also think about what preceeds kissing: 'Triangular gauzing', slowing down your conversation, getting closer.
Well, take the girl you like and if he doesn't know what to do for his girl, DHV him to his girl. You can get away with blatently bragging about your friend to the girl, since she is use to guys trying to cut each other down.
Well really, you should make being successful with women something that is you anyway, without having to switch into PUA mode.

It's like when a guys says to himself: "I have to get into state". Now he really DOES have to get in state because that what he told his mind. Whereas if he just said: "This is gonna be fun!". He wouldn't have to actively work on doing anything to be having a good time.

Good luck matey!

do not settle for leftovers.

Well first of all it sounds like your not running the set remember they should be lucky to have your time, and to be honest if it isn't true just have the vibe like it is, perception is reality just remember that. And if your having a hard time K closing tips that I remember are look for 3 IOIs because your usually in the clear there or the doggy dinner bowl look( that look a woman gives you when their eyes get a little wider and they kinda bite their lower lip.) And a few gambits I like to use were ones that i read ehre the ASK gambit in which you ask if she's adventerous then spontaneous and then if she's a good kisser. The other gambit I like to use is the tell her to close her eyes and hold out her hand then you grab her han and kiss her very gently on the lips. But of course you can always do the classic place your hand around her face and caress down her cheek and slowly pull her close to you and kiss her gently on the lips make sure you dont pull too far and u lean in of course but you have to feel that one out. Lol don't wanna jump the gun on that one
