Well, you said you WANTED a day 2...so you probably did the right thing. You could have kissed her and gotten a day 2, but you also could have dealth with buyer's remorse afterwards and stuff like that, and not get your day 2.
I dont know what type of girl she is but since you didnt go for a kiss but 'asked for a day 2' by number closing her, it could either be: "oh he didnt even bother kissing me" or "what a gentlemen he didnt go for any tongue, ill go out with him"
Was she drunk? if so, at least you didnt take 'advantage' of her in her eyes (though some women think that is not a good thing
).How do you escalate a kiss? You said you were cuddling with her, so you were already doing some 'heavy' kino. Did you have your hand on her lower back, or in her neck (sensual areas to a woman)? From there you could pull back a little, do a little more small talk while you 'triangle-gaze' (its where you look in her left eye first, then her right, and then at her mouth) which creates a tension. You could ask her "on a scale of 1-10, how adventurous are you" whatever she says, (high is best ofcourse they'll usually say 7-8) or if she says "i dont know" you can respond with "lets find out" and just go in for the kiss.
Also while talking to her up close, there is a motion you can make with your finger across her face/hair which is pretty sensual.Its making a C on her face, starting at her forehead, maybe wiping hair out of her face, and then dragging it down to her cheeks and chin, when you're at the chin, go under it with your finger and maybe gently grab it between your thumb and index finger, and pull her in / move in to her lips.
Have you counted the IOIs she's given you? According to Mystery's method, 3 IOI's means you're in.
Hope this helped a little, good luck!
