We went to a local pub and had some tea and had a really good time, laughing flirting etc, but because she was sitting some way away I struggled to escalate.
Why are you talking as if you had no choice in the matter? You chose to sit across from her. Never sit across from her. It's not an interview, it's a date.
Either place yourself next to her, tell her to place herself next to you or sit at a 90 degree angle.
Never
sit
across
from
each-other

We then drove to a garage to pick up some snacks, and again my car is quite big so I struggled to escalate (she was almost out of reach)!
You drive a limo or what?
Quote:
We then when to a late night ice cream parlour and just chilled and laughed, again good conversation, average chemistry, but almost no physical escalation due to sitting opposite sides of the table.
I took her home, a friendly peck on the cheek and a warm hug and I was left thinking, shit, after only 2 hours I'm almost in the friendzone despite her being interested!
So you know escalation is hindered if you sit on opposite sides.
You then proceed to sit on opposite sides anyway.
Then you post about you didn't escalate because you sat on opposite sides.
Sit. Next. To. Her.
What's next? going on a date each to a different pub them complaining that you couldn't escalate because she was on the other side of town?
Seriously.

I text her about the date shortly after it finished saying "thanks had a great time etc" but I feel like this needs to escalate quickly. I haven't bought up the topic of sex at all in basically 3 hours of date & text game,
For the love of manhood, please leave the women be the women. "Thanks I had a great time"? for what? for the privilege of breathing the same air as she did for a couple hours?
When a woman sends you that text, it's appropriate. Because as a man you invited her out, chose a venue, an activity, you led the interaction, you showed her a good time and probably even payed a drink or two.
So yeah. She might thank you for it. And that's cool.
However the other way around as about as normal as the doctor thanking the patient for the privilege of treating him.
Quote:
Would I be better to starting escalating sexually via text, or just organise another date and do it there?
Another date. Asap.

You sure about that last part?
