I was out with work friends and we were all at a bar. (I work in entertainment so the industry is really small and people kinda know other people.)

So I see this cute as girl HB8 drinking from a coconut.

Instantly I open about the coconut, even get her to give me a sip and start general conversation.

I take her to the bar. and start some compliance touching. small of her back shoulders ass. she didn't flinch.

Start dancing with her and her friends. I could sense that her friends were like ( who the F*ck is this guy) but she doesn't mind.

Slow song comes on. We are right bang in the middle of the dance floor fully lit up, I kick into autopilot and go for the kiss. As soon as I kissed her the tension that was building instantly released the sexual vibe dispersed. I seriously felt the mood change after that kiss.

I get her number but already I can tell she won't call or message back.

I put it down to two main factors

1. she knew people there and I made my intentions public. Girls prefer that stuff to be a secret.
2. Her friends were right there and would probably judge her for what she just done.

I think what I needed to do was isolate her somewhere private kiss close and really sexually escalate with touching. invite back to mine and Boom!!

all the signs were there from the beginning but that freaking kiss blow everything out the window.

So I ask you can a kiss close ruin a set and when is the best time to go for the kiss.

yup. Kiss close can ruin. It would have been better if you had her isolated. And there is hard and fast rule for kiss, just go for it when you feel like it.
You could have saved this girl. You main mistake is here
when you felt like the energy of the interaction had gone low, you didn't do anything about it. You felt something wrong happened and you let it affect you and being affected by that you didnt do anything to bring back the energy.
Next time if it happens, don't let yourself be affected, stay cool and relaxed and this weirdness would pass away within a few minutes, also keep talking you may find a topic that gets her excited and that would bring the energy back in. And as for the girl, if you have her number, i would say go for follow up. weirdness would pass away within a few minutes, also keep talking you may find a topic that gets her excited and that would bring the energy back in.
