I finally feel like i'm starting to get this slowly :]

This is my first field report since starting learning PUA almost a month ago. So i'm in school waiting in line at the food court with a friend of mine who is also a rAFC so we like to challenge each other at times, at this time he picked a girl a 7-7.5 and said "This time use a direct opener" (we've been using MM as a base and building on it with rsd, 60 years, etc. and wanted to get a feel for being direct) so I approach her and open about how she was dressed and that I thought It looked cute on her which she surprisingly to me responded well to. So I immediately go into kino with a routine about my name (which leads to a palm reading routine) she also liked that and actually moved closer to me (we are 1-2" away now). At this point I signal my friend to come over and introduce himself at which point she backs up completely into me and I end up holding her from behind (there is zero distance now) but at this point I feel like i've built up a good amount of attraction to tease her physically so I gently push her off to build tension but at this point she actually asked me why I let her go (with a smile) but I have no response without actually telling her it was Game so I just smile back and grab her hand and ignore the question and lead her to eat with my friend and I. I end up # closing around the corner on a bench by the food court I was in but the point I want to make is at the point when I push her off I have no response and basically freak out mentally and I'd like to avoid this, any tips, advice, even lines would be fine :]

A big thing with avoiding panic is to remind yourself that you are in control of the situation. When you get scared or flustered and loose concentration is when things can go down hill. And I believe you actually had the perfect reaction, no answer, and just grab her again, as if nothing happened. I would call that an attraction test, and it came back positive.

An important rule that can be learnt is, you must be willing to lose her to win her. And when you start realizing this your panic will most likely fade.

Also if you already noted that she had an attraction for you, you could have on the spot even made up a NEG about her in your personal space, and you weren't completely comfortable with that yet, however this would put you in a small hole and you would have had to play longer, so I believe you played it just fine.
