If you're reasonably confident in the other person's interest, simply announcing "I'm going to kiss you now," followed by a brief pause, works quite nicely, signals confidence, builds anticipation, and still gives them the opportunity to back out.

Another version: "I'm thinking about kissing you", and offering your cheek.

I did that once. At the end of a date, pointed at my cheek, 'kiss goodbye'. HAHAHAHA. Didn't work.

Make sure you keep in mind that some skills must be mastered before others. Like being able to gauge interest level.
