After spending some time with a girl on a regular "date" kind of night (drinks, a walk, my place) there is a moment where I can feel that I can go for the kiss and not be rejected. I would like some suggestion on how to make that step smoother, usually we're just chatting and it's kinda awkward to go in for the kiss mid-conversation.

I usually either comment on their hands (rings/bracelets etc) or hair, and start playing with it, then kiss them. Any other ideas?
