Yup one of those at least told her she looked nice and she said I looked nice too.

I advise against all of those behaviors. If you pay her a compliment, it must be something about her personality or achievements, not about her appearance.

As the male, you need to be taking the lead on your dates. That means you decide the destinations. Don't just go along with anything and everything she says. Not only does that fail to display leadership, but it is neither entertaining or challenging.

Continue escalating kinosthetics. If you neglect to make physical contact often, then the first kiss will be uncomfortable for both of you. I recommend squeezing the nape of her neck, and sliding a palm over the small of her back. Both of these areas of the body are bundles of nerves that are rarely touched, thus she will become naturally more excited.
