I always escalate to holding hands...and then being right up in her face but i never get the kiss close

HELP!

Bit more context would help.

Anyway,it depends on the venue and how worked up she is.

You dont attempt a make out during an awkward silence.

But if you're managing to be all up in her face,then not much guide needed.Just timing.

Many guys dont even have the balls to get close.

Those guys need a guide.

But since you're face to face,95% of the battle is won.

Just work on calibration(timing)and vibe.

What works for me is the following.

Keep good eye contact with a girl. I don't mean dead-pan staring at her. I mean look at her like you would really want to kiss her. project that vibe to her through your eye. Your words don't have to say I wanna kiss you, but your eyes and your intent coming through your body language should.

Slow down what your saying when your talking to her (all the while your looking at her with the "i wanna kiss you vibe").

Increase the touching in such a way you are drawing nearer to the girl.(ie from holding her hand to holding her waste to her back to her neck to stroking her face) NOTE: this is just and example don't follow this to the letter, just use your judgement to see what the next level of touch will be acceptable.

Finally look at her lips and then her eyes and repeat this, while your talking, drawing near to her and then closing the distance to kiss her.


NOTE: if your not 100% sure that she'll kiss you back, she'll let you know. for example she'll pull away, however if she doesn't pull away and your still closing the distance going for the kill then this is a very good sign.

Girls won't openly always say yes or act positively to an advance, but a tell tale sign if you things are going well is that she will stay put and she won't move away from you. No negative signs is a good indication that she will happily kiss you. Negative signs means it is a no go just yet. You can try later.

If she moves away and looks like she didn't want to, then you should stop and go back to talking normally.

Try that is mate

Thanks for the tips Mutsuflex and K-loc

What do you guys think is an appropriate, conversation-wise, to get her amped up to get closer and closer to the kiss?

Things between you and her and/or personal such as "what would you say is your best trait that you have?" etc.?
