I've been working hard on my basic game the past couple of months, trying to get as much experience as possible. In doing so, I've noticed that I suck at escalating from basic touching and physicality to actual kissing. The handful of times I have actually made out with a chick I was gaming, she was practically dripping and her body language was begging for it.
There is a lot of info on the forum about escalation and the ladder of touch, but I was hoping for more specific advice about how much reading body language should play a part. Is moving past this hurdle just a matter of overcoming fear of failure? Or should I be waiting until the girl *is* dripping to go in the for the kiss?
For instance, I was out with a girl this weekend, things are going well with good eye contact and touch. We bounce to another location and the vibe is good but even as I escalate touch and proximity, she still keeps a little distance (no leaning in, no slut eyes, no keeping hold of my arm, etc.). I had the nagging feeling I should have just went for the kiss, but didn't because of a lack of clear signals and now I feel like a pussy.
