No need to kiss, just ask her if she wants to come to your place for some drinks after the movie.
Dont let the positive energy of the first date get in your head too much either, play it cool and dont get too excited.

lol no, if she is not stimulated she will turn his offer down. He should escalate naturally to a make out, and then take her home...

And make this the final “go see a movie” date of your life unless the girl is already your gf. Ignoring each other while staring at the big screen is no way to open her up and build attraction through engaging conversation.

This, the movies is a horrible date if you're trying to get to know her. But if you already have it scheduled then hey knock yourself out.

Thanks for the advice. I get movies are bad, but we'll be going to a drive-in theater. It'll just be the two of us in a car. I was planning to talk on the way to and from the movie itself.

I disagree, movies are not bad dates! The best dating tip I ever got was turn ‘dinner and a movie’ into ‘a movie and dinner’! Movies are great because you’re able to check out each other’s vibes and attitudes without the pressure of making small talk. Gives you the chance to form inside jokes about what you’re watching and allows for a bit of whispered commentary. The age old ‘arm around the shoulder’ move is classic and allows for a bit of snuggling without an awkward lead up.
Then go for dinner/coffee/drinks etc after and it gives you a perfect fallback topic for when those awkward silences pop up and it’s a neutral topic if you’re not that into your date.
If you happen to see a movie that’s part of a series (marvel, James Bond or any sequel) an easy suggestion for a second date is ‘hey we should watch the first one/sequel/ the best one at my place next weekend’
If you’re going to sit in the theatre like you have horse blinders on, a stick up your ass and go directly home after the movie then this might not work for you but it’s easy to relax and make someone giggle with a few jokes about the movie and it will feel like a ‘real date’
But hey, I’m just a girl so what do I know.

but I'm unsure if we're (or rather I) am ready for it.
You are making way too big a deal out of it, just look for the moment and go for it, don't force it.
I've never been in a relationship like this before, and I don't want to sour anything we have
You sat in a car for 2 hours, you don't have anything. If she picks up on this sort of energy you are also never going to have anything with her.
if she doesn't respond to the kiss well
If she doesn't respond well it's because she isn't in to you. If she isn't in to you enough to kiss after 2 dates you aren't recovering from that. Nothing to lose by her responding negatively.
Lastly, reorganise the movie idea, tell her you are going for drinks instead. In what way do you imagine attraction can possible grow by focusing on something else for 2 hours and not talking?

No worries though! Though the thread has been taken down, any conversations you have started here can still continue, and if you want to PM a mod to get their opinion on this thread, feel free to do so and they will still be able to weigh in.
