hello everyone first post in quite sometime as I just came out of a LONG relationship

background- I met this girl maybe 6 weeks ago and we started hanging legitimately as friends. Its always been one on one and flirty, but with no ulterior motives. She knew I was getting out of a super long relationship, and she was finishing up school, so please no "you waited too long" so on and so forth because it just wasn't happening sooner. We see each other once a week, sit next to each other and get smashed for an entire day.

The failed kiss close: we were both randomly on vacation half an hour away from each other. i had her come to the beach we were at. We jet skied for an hour and then laid out for a bit. We moved to the beach bar, found a couch, and literally massaged, rubbed, petted, and whatever else not involving the private areas literally all day while we were downing drinks. As I had to leave, I give her a triangle stare and go for the kiss, and get a slight turn. I just keep steamrolling and talking and go in again in a bit, and get the slightest kiss and a head turn, but with her obviously wanting to return the favor (mouth open, moving her head towards me then away like something was holding her back). No lets just be friends. No words, just no big make out.

Im a little stumped here people. Frame, comfort, kino escalation all there. Attraction should be there (or is touching each other all day in front of everyone no longer an IOI).

My thoughts:
Did I build TOO much comfort
Did I simply misread some signs and she's not into me
Did that kiss attempt come out of nowhere and throw her for a loop

I need an eval and a plan of attack as in when to call and what to say. Was thinking of just continuing to sarge on and just asking her on a date so she knows I was serious. Im not nexting her because Im already going to be working other girls, and she's fun.

Impossible to know what was in her head. Kissing is very intimate to many girls. There are plenty who will let you fuck them or finger them but won't kiss in the mouth. Maybe it leads too directly to sex? Too emotional? Who knows?

Only worried about what was in her head to the extent that it helps with the HOW I move forward. I can just go in cold and ask her back out, freeze her out, or go out with her later this week as usual....

Triangular Gaze is newbie stuff i've found and only useful for getting you used to making eye contact. I never use it. I just look to a girls right eye when I switch from comfort to seduction. Left eye for friendly chat, right eye to demonstrate interest in her. Then, once you're both alone just tell her to kiss you. Be up front with her if you think she's into you. If she says no or says she's not into you just don't take it personally. Your reaction dictates exactly how the interaction goes and the future of your relationship. If you go for it and she backs away but you act normal and unphased she's going to act normal and unphased too but she'll respect you more for being ballsy enough to go for it.

The isolation -> Right eye contact -> Telling her to kiss you = Works 99% of the time. The way I see it is if a girl is into you enough to go alone with you for a drink after you've built up a bit of rapport and comfort she's interested enough to kiss you.

Maybe if they're prostitutes...

I said screw it and acted like nothing happened. She wanted to come out last night so we kicked it and we acted like nothing happened. Im not sure if thats good or bad. This was a "this shit doesn't bother me" hang out.

Im thinking the next time I see her I should either ask her out and make it clear as day that its a date, or just go for the kill again while we are out.

Thoughts? As I mentioned, its been quite some time so the game is a little rusty.

Do exactly what I said next time you're out with her.
