I feel like the start of the interaction will determine the entire date. Last date, I ended it with a solid k-close. Everything went perfect. I can tell this girl is a little more invested seeing as she is coming out today in the cold, snowy weather and is willing to drive us to the date location. When I see her, what's the most confident way to go about making her comfortable for the rest of the date?

I was thinking of hugging her, picking her up, seductive stare after putting her down then kissing her, but another side of me is telling me to just go for a hug, then kiss her cheek. Which is a better option? Is kissing her on the lips / small 5 second makeout a bit too needy for the start of a second date? Also I feel like if I picked her up, and kissed her on the cheek that'd be pretty weird. What would you guys do?
