I agree - in my opinion, it's never a good idea to ask a girl if you can kiss her. I know Mystery has that similar game, but realistically, body language is way more telling than anything you could say. You usually have a good feel for whether the girl likes you, so if she is going to let you kiss her, she probably doesn't need you to tell her.
K close lines feel like a crutch to me. It's similar to set routines - very useful as training wheels but eventually you will be socially aware enough to throw the routine aside. If you have good kino going and are in a position where you are close to each other, that's all you need
