Did I Fumble The Bag in This Situation?

First date, we were going to go for drinks. I mentioned how I just moved and she offered to come over and help me unpack. Thought maybe she just wanted some action so of course I said yes.

She comes over, we drink wine. I offer her a seat at my desk chair or bar stool (my apartment is tiny and I don’t have a table anymore) and she saids no your bed looks comfortable and sits then lays on it, saying how comfortable it is. I pour us the wine and I sit in the said chair as she sits up. My thought was to not making it obvious that I was wanting to sleep with by immediately sitting next to her on my bed.

Talked for an hour, had good conversation.

Brought up tv shows, she said she loved new girl, said perfect I’ve always wanted to watch it. Wanted an excuse to sit on the bed next to her.

We start watching it, I start lightly sliding my fingernails up and down her back. She then gets closer to me and puts her head in my lab. I rub her back and think how I’m gonna escalate. I tried telling her my shoulder was more comftoable and she said no I’m so comfortable here.

At one point I asked her if she was wearing perfume, and she said “always” so I told her I could probably guess what it was. Total lie but I thought on the spot this is a good way to get my face close to hers.

Worked like a charm, we start making out. I’m feeling her ass and get to the point where I’m squeezing her bare ass (she was wearing a tight dress so it hiked up easily). Eventually she stops us and continues watching the show. About 7 minutes later I pull her chin up gently and we start making out again. Randomly she stopped us and said “I don’t fuck on the first date” and I replied “neither do I”. We start kissing again and this time I go for the boobs, but once her nipple is in my mouth I could tell she wanted to stop so we did.

Eventually we start cuddling again and she said something about being so tired that would I mind if she called her Uber back home now. She did talk about being tired and having to go to bed early before we started kissing but still. She ends up leaving.

Where could I have escalated better in this situation? I feel like if I did things better we would have gotten further then we did. Wouldn’t be surprised if I didn’t see her again because of buyers remorse.

Not sure where I went wrong. Of course she could have her own reasons for not wanting to go further that had nothing to do with what I did, but I’m curious to see others opinion.

Thanks

Should have sat by her on the bed immediately. She came over to do it, so you left her wondering what gives.

From what you've written it seems like you pretty much did it right - except for the wine, but I'm biased against alcohol. lol.

Don't see anything wrong with what you did.

A general idea, based on my experience, is to just enjoy it when a girls come over. Don't be all in your head thinking about how to fuck her. Just enjoy her company, relax, and escalate where possible. Its probably gunna happen, so just relax.

Also, whenever a girl comes out with that "I don't fuck on the first date" or something similar, a great response is to just say "its cool, we'll do whatever we're comfortable with" or something to that effect.

I recently had a girl say something similar like "you realise we're not having sex tonight?" whilst we were passionately kissing, and I responded with "Can i tell you something?" to which she said "yes" and then I said "i promise you, we won't do anything that you're not comfortable with" whilst continuing to kiss her neck. (stole this off someone on here). Anyway her clothes were off like 2 mins later. They just wanna feel comfortable and seen.

That’s what I’m thinking, but getting so quickly to that after just meeting seemed like rushing too fast. Which I’m fine with but I didn’t want to scare her off

That’s what I’m wondering, if I went wrong in my escalation. Since she basically invited herself over before we had even met in person, I thought she was lookin to fuck and it would be an easy layup.

I follow that same logic, I made sure she knew I’m cool with whatever. I even told her before hand let me know what I can do to make her comfortable
