I met this girl last year in school. We were friends at that time as she was dating someone else at the time. She eventually broke up with the guy but I never made my intentions clear. We always had a lot of chemistry, we make each other laugh a lot and we are comfortable in getting really touchy. We used to hang out a lot but things got busier with school in April and we lost touch over the summer. I'm sure she never thought of me more than a friend.

Starting this term, I bumped into her in class and decided to do a hail mary. I know the whole deal about one-titis and thought I should just man up. What's the worst that could happen? I changed my frame and made my intentions clearer verbally and physically. When we went out, instead of the casual touches, I would touch her on the small of her back and waist and sometimes even her thigh. In return, she would reciprocate and touch me in my hands and thighs as well. Lately, I've noticed holds longer eye contact and breaks eye contact by looking down. She's laughs at everything I say. Needless to say, I took these as IoIs.

The day before yesterday, she came over to my place to study. My couch is a bit hard so we ended up studying on the bed together sitting side by side with pillows propping up our backs. While we were reviewing notes on my laptop she would touch my hand and thighs while trying to make a point. I would hold her hand as I talked and would touch her here and there as I made my point.

Eventually, I put my hand on her close shoulder (a half shoulder wrap around - think a girl sitting on your left and you put your left arm on her right shoulder). She seemed quite receptive to this and leaned closer. As she gestured more and more, I found my left hand slipping closer and closer down to her breast. I would have taken my hand off, but she would sometimes place her hand momentarily over my left hand and press down such that I would be slightly touching her breast. At this point, she was breathing deeply and moaned a bit. I was caught off guard by this but decided I was about to make a move but her housemate called her to come home because forgot her keys - I know this because my phone on speaker. We hugged and agreed to study the next day.

Yesterday, she invited me over to do more studying. She told me her housemate will be out of town for the weekend. When I went over, she had recently bought this new french press but didn't know how to use it. I taught her how, made some coffee and started studying on her couch. We were quite touchy again but this time, I put my arm around her and she fully sunk herself into my arms. She then complemented her own coffee in which I said the coffee was so-so, the service was okay, but the waitress was cute. She then looked at me with the biggest shit-eating grin ever.

At one point, I got a call and I thought I had to leave. Hearing this, she put her feet and stepped on mine. I got the matter resolved and we then studied a bit more and then decided to take a break by checking out her instagram on her phone. I noticed she was still breathing heavily as I caressed her shoulder and when I touched her hands. I was so nervous and probably picked it up as she commented on my twitching arm. I didn't want to kick myself for not making my move again, and I decided to use the Wait method to kiss her. https://www.reddit.com/r/seduction/comments/31v0wq/some_thoughts_on_the_wait_line_with_a_kinda_fr/?). While with my arms around her and sunken in to me, I said "Wait!". She looked up, I looked at her and went in for the kiss.

Well folks, I gave away the conclusion in the title. She was taken back went backwards and told me that wasn't cool. I've experienced the girl turning away or the "not now"s or "not here"s when I kiss them but I was not hopelessly no prepared for this. I nervously laughed it off and we pretended nothing happened and I left half an hour later. Before I left, she asked me to study again today but I told her I would meet on her on Monday instead.

I hope you guys can offer a debrief. I thought I picked up on her IoIs and would be sure I made the right call if this was a girl I just met recently. I always asked girls for permission to kiss them before and thought just going for the kiss would fit with new frame. What eats at me is that I know we could have gotten more physical but I had to kiss her. Was going in to kiss her the mistake or was I toast all along?

As always, I appreciate all you advice - I've grown a lot and have met, closed, and dated a few wonderful women all because of you guys.

Cheers
