I got a girlfriend who likes to make out a lot while being touched, and she admits she gets bored after 10 minutes, understandable.

I want to try something new and actually give her pleasure, is it normal if I make out for a few minutes while touching and then slowly escalate to touching her inside her panties and then start fingering her? Or should I ask her if she wants to be fingered? (if i should ask her, how do I put it in a non-awkward way)

If you got something better/extra then fingering let me know.
