I might be wrong, but aren't you more into non-serious casual relationships/hooking up?

That might be why we have a difference of opinion, lol.

No, I'm not. I date to find a committed, monogamous relationship.

What I may have to do is either plan early day dates if possible, or bring my car into the city and then drop her off without her having to be in a rush to catch the train.
I think, that road trip you mentioned earlier is a good idea (but just you and her). Plan it for an entire day; eat out in restaurants, visit places, etc yadda yadda. If not a road trip, an entire day together doing something.

Be bolder this time. Bust some moves, Homie!

Its the third date; something should be happening by now, LOl.

Seriously. Its a pretty solid rule I've found, that if the woman isn't wanting to make out or more by the second date, that its likely going no where (I don't think I've had a good relationship where making out or more didn't happen first date). Sure, I've gone out more with just making out past date 3, 4, even 5 once or twice, but of course nothing happened. If the chemistry and attraction was there, you want to get physical. If its not, no reason to keep going out, unless you're wanting a platonic friend.

I suppose it good be different with religious / pious / non sensual types, but I wouldn't want to date those people and I wouldn't be attracted in the first place.

But good luck, duder. Seems you really like this lady. That's good.

^ At the same time though...some women don't like to kiss right away in the first couple of dates at least. doesn't always mean a lack of interest in the person...but just want to wait a bit to make sure the person is interested in them.

everyones different...but the fact that she agreed to a 3rd date with him is a pretty good sign id say.

The OP is new to dating. He's unsure and nervous. He'll get there. Hopefully.

I don't know anyone who makes out on the second date.

OP, do what you want and go about it in a way that YOU feel comfortable. Don't worry about that third date nonsense.

And besides, I'm taking it slow with her (and it seems she wants to as well). For all intents and purposes, we're still in the get to know you stage.
Do what's comfortable for you OP. Some women like taking things a bit slower & appreciate a guy who gets this. You haven't spent that much time together, so try and arrange longer dates. Good luck!
