2nd date with this girl. I met her a week ago at a cafe where we were both working and we hit it off. I invited her home and she said no, so we grabbed dinner at a nearby restaurant. Afterwards I invited her home again and she said it's too fast for her, so I walked her home instead. She gave me a bit of shit about wanting so much to take her home so maybe I could've raised it less explicitly, but overall all went well. On the way to her place I created some moments of tension to gauge her willingness to kiss. I didn't think she was there, so didn't go for it. However, when we reached her place I leaned in to have her put my scarf on my neck because I had lent it to her, and she leaned back to kiss me haha. So just the 1 kiss. 2nd date was 2 days later on Tuesday. We met at another cafe. Hung out for an hour till they closed, then got food. At that point things were warm enough where I would've invited her home, but she had to wake up early next day and it was getting late enough where I didn't think it was high probability. Since we hadn't been physical at all yet that day, I opted instead to take her for a walk to a nearby park, get just a bit physical to end things on a high note, and send her home. It worked well. We got to the park and she was ready to kiss. I kept it super light to avoid triggering any sort of point-of-no-return stuff or defensiveness when I invite her home for the next date. Sitting on a bench, she then came in hard and initiated making out with me. Again I kept it light, but told her I like this passionate side of hers. We sat on the bench for maybe 15 mins talking and lightly touching. The tension was definitely very strong, but we didn't do much physically. She told me, "I really like your personality." Then I walked her home again, thinking this is in the bag for next time. About 1-2 hours later she sends me a long text message how she hopes I got home safe, that she wanted to say how much she likes me and my energy, but that truth is she doesn't want to date anyone. Earlier that night she had told me that she hasn't been dating recently - it was a few days ago now so I don't remember the details of her dating life. What do you guys think happened here, and how could I have run things better? Last time I posted a situation very similar to this, Alex's verdict was point of no return. Is that what happened here as well? I was conscious and careful and made out with her for only maybe 10 seconds.

What's usually your method on pulling girls back to your place? Is it usually luck or have you found a dope method?

I wouldn't say I have a "method." When a girl likes you and you make it not a big deal, it's usually easy to get a yes. Have her like you, give off a vibe that you don't take things too seriously so she doesn't feel like if she comes to your place you'll pressure her into sex, bring it up smoothly, and address any objections.
In this case I met her for coffee, and after like 15 mins suggested we take a walk, and took her towards my place. Based on the vibe, and based on our texting and the last date, I was pretty confident she was just waiting for it. When we turned the corner off the main street I paused for a sec to get her buy in, and it was easy.
