Date one went well, rapport was built, two-way attraction was apparent. After dinner, she asked what shall we do and I suggested that we could get a room to hang out in and just relax. It seemed like she was down for that idea, but said "Hmmm... it's our first date, I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that," to which I acted unneedy and responded "Alright, no worries." Soon we took a walk and joked around a bit more, and near the end when we were about to part, she is the one who went in for the goodbye kiss and held it for a few seconds.

After that, she explicitly told me through text that she enjoyed kissing me and finds me very attractive. To me, it seems like pretty much a done deal. Any advice on how I should steer date two to get a guaranteed escalation to sex?

Sorry for the bump.

I read in "the game" by "Neil Strauss" that it you have to break down her ASD (anti-slut defence)

Ways you do this is by each time her ASD triggers act like you do not need her; exactly like what you did when you acted un-needy.

Do this exact thing in the bedroom, you'll be good.

The only thing is how to get her there initially

Edit: misread, didn't realize you were renting it out.
Humans (not only women) are wired to process emotions before it reaches the rational part of the brain, if you get her turned on she will have a MUCH harder time saying "no", which is why escalate in a safe environment and slowly break down her barriers.
good job, though i still think you should be the one to initiate the moves. you want to lead.
well done, and read the above. she knows you want sex, so she may hold out till the 2nd or 3rd date, but if she keeps seeing you knowing this take it as a sign that she also wants it.

Get a room = sex

There is no plausible deniability in that.

Think how that sounds when she tells her friends, we went out and on our first night we got a room....

What about if you already had the room and something non-sexual in it.

He had DVD and we went back to watch it.. one thing led to another.

He wanted to go to a club but had to pop back to his room to change his shirt, we started drinking a bottle of wine and one thing led to another.....

It kind of sounds like you didnt have a plan for when things escalated.

You cold even try saying you want to go to a club with her but you cant really drive back after having a few drinks. Ill get a room, lets do that now and then we can stay out longer.. then when you get to the room have a couple of drinks from the mini bar on the bed....

This way the room isnt for sex, its for you to sleep in on your own, she isnt going there for sex she is going there because you have to rent it before you go to the club.. It just gives plausible deniability. Also how can she say no? She isnt going to stay in a bar while you go sort this out, shell come with you because seh wont want to be on her own and its also kind of interesting, you can make a bit of a game of choosing the place.

Great advice, guys. Thank you all. Question: but how about if I am hanging out with her during the week? I can't really say let's get a room for pre-/post-clubbing since there are no clubs open at those times. How about we continue the kissing and get more physical first in my car, and then I can always say there isn't too much room here (my car is not the most spacious of cars), and suggest to her to go somewhere with more space. Hehe.
