If she's into you she'll initiate the text. If not, you do it. Don't stress over it.
You did not state what the goal is, is it just to kiss close or find true love?
Sounds like your Kino is fine, but you need to work in progression. For me personally i usually go for a kiss close on the first date. If your learning, learn to work your kino higher, start with bare minimum kino on the first date and make sure it escalates from arm on her back leading her through crowds, or keeping her warm, to arm around her walking around, holding hands etc. girls love that stuff they want to feel protected and wanted.
If you can't find a place to kiss close, makes one. Learn to lead. Men are leaders. Women are followers.
Take her away to somewhere secluded. Take her to a park, your car, anywhere to just talk. Grab her hand, kino escalate. Tell her how beautiful she is, than put your hand on her face and pull her in.
Count 3..2..1.. and go! That helps me, don't hesitate make it a habit to count down and go.
