So I just got back from a day date. I thought we were going to meet tonight but there was some miscommunication and after a short skype conversation we decided to grab some ice cream at a local downtown shop. I however ended up being a half hour late and what was supposed to be an hour meet up turned into 30 minutes. We met chatted on the way to the ice cream place and since I knew I didn't have a lot of time I decided to go for the hand hold (probably the hardest part of a date for me). She was holding her sundress and made a couple jokes about not wanting it to fly up. I negged her about it with a marilyn monroe reference and I got a good smile. At the ice cream place I paid. I don't normally do this if ever but I was late and after she thanked me I told her it was the least I could do after making her wait.

While eating ice cream we chatted for a bit, she started complaining about work so to keep the conversation light and fun I decided to play the cube game. I tried to break the touch barrier during it by touching her arm as kind of a negged "it's ok" thing just to keep some kind of physical contact. She smiled throughout the cube game and I got to know her a lil better. Afterwords since she and I didn't have a lot of time left we decided to walk back to our cars. On the way back I tried one more time to casually hold her hand and she discretly said "I don't do pda's". I shrugged it off afterwords and we talked about the next time we would see each other. This weekend is busy for the both of us since it's the 4 of july but she said we will definately make plans for next week. while walking I negged her and pushed her a lil saying "you were excited to meet me admit it", she coyly said "yes" so I know she's at least somewhat into me. We hugged goodbye and went our seperate ways.

I don't know how to go from here. I didn't get the hand hold or a k-close yet we're still flirty texting so what do I do to escalate?
