So far, all my dates ended in either failure or bringing her home and having some action. But never the middle ground, which is having a kiss.

So I met this girl, I think it went well overall. She seemed interested and enthusiastic, even giggling. I think I did not do enough sexual tension stuff like teasing or touching though. At the end, she gave me a warm hug. I am not sure if I should consider this as a success, as I read that I should always aim for at least a kiss at the first date.

1) Is ending a first date with a hug (given by her) a good sign?

2) For a second date, can I invite her to my place directly? Or the jump from the hug to that too high?
