There seems to be a pattern to my attempts at the dance floor. Three times this has happened:

I get introduced to a cute girl through my social circle. Talk with her a bit, she seems very interested. Through out the night she makes small attempts to get my attention. I more or less, but not rudely, ignore these, because I think that now isn't the time.

Later, at a bar, she still seems interested in me. She's in my proximity. So I go to her, talk a little, invite her to dance. She's very willing. We dance close. I escalate quite quickly and she doesn't seem to mind.

I am not able to kiss her, as she twists her head. I'm still escalating but nothing happens. As the song ends I expect her to leave, but she's ready to dance some more. Well there's no point because I don't know how to kiss her - or if she even wan't to be kissed.

What am I missing? Should sit down with her, talk and maybe try later?

KC on the dancefloor with a girl you're acquainted with can be tricky. Much easier with strangers, you just march in and take charge. Although I have a routine for your situation, I'd suggest you isolate her and try KCing in a different location. While dancing is great for kino, women sometimes may just want to dance. I know I do. One caveat, if she's grinding all over your upstanding citizen, but still doesn't want the kiss, she's probably a tease. In that case, push-pull to keep her in check.

Thanks. Next time I'll try to move her to another place and escalate.

Another thing I will try, is just to move her to another place but without escalating: Going back to talking/getting to know each other stage. After a short while go the dance floor with her again. If nothing happens: Back to talking a bit. Then back to the dance floor.

What exactly is your routine? If you don't mind...

Your game and escalation sounds spot on. No offense but it might be worth a trip to the dentist or get some halitosis SPAM or some kind of oral hygeine improvement.

Another thing may be that she doesn't want to kiss you in front of her social circle, as kino escalation can be done very secretively but a KC is obvious and she wont want to be slagged of by her friends. Isolate the target if you havnt already.

If all that fails look into Gambler's stealth attraction techniques. Dude if they dont work then just stay away from the dancefloor!

Here's the gist. You're dancing close, facing each other. You'll probably have your hands somewhere around her hips. Take your forearms, rest them on her shoulders, and make eye contact. Keep dancing a bit, then pull her in for the kiss. More of a seductive thing than a dominant move, but it works.
