what to do after messing a close

[Ahart]

Hi, 2nd date with a girl, I invite her to come meet me at my house for dinner, she comes but says she needs to eat dinner with her parents later can only stay for an hour. So I half panic and escalate on her immediately, we kiss abit but I'm mega awkward due to the circumstances/inexperience at closing and it ends bad

She texts me latter that night and says shes hopes I'm not too unhappy with our date, I respond with "why would I be unhappy lets hang out sometime in the future" and she agrees.

Should I pursue this further after I botched up escalation so hard, and if so how should I act on 3rd date, should it be a cool off date where I show her a good time or should I go hard as recommended and go for another close

It's fine, don't sweat it. Just the very fact that you escalated and tried to make something happen would've increased your value and attainability a lot. Sounds like she's cool with things. Just proceed as normal.

OK thats reassuring, what do I do for a third date tho? The only good logistics is at my place which is quite far from her, only way I can think of to isolate her now would be to get her to go to a hotel room with me. Not close to experienced enough to try something public

You can't go backwards now, she's already been to your place so presumably she was keen enough to go out of her way, and comfortable enough to do that while knowing intimacy might be on the cards. So you could say something like, "hey, so let's have that dinner we couldn't have last time since you had to leave early", or if she has good logistics "hey, i think it's your turn to host this time, what can I bring?".
