I can't remember if I participated in your previous threads, and I don't have time to dig through for the history now.
But... my gut instinct just based on what you have shared is to wonder if maybe you should be talking about asking her out... not about trying to steal a kiss. Unless I misunderstood, it sounds like right now you two are just friends and nothing more. Now, you want it to be more, and it is entirely possible she does as well (or just as possible she only wants to be friends). But, unless I am just misunderstanding, there's been no specific indication of you two being anything other than friends.
So, I don't know... maybe this is just me, but I wouldn't think you should go from being just friends with somebody to suddenly kissing them. I would more so suggest you just ask her out. Make it clear that you like her as more than a friend and want to ask her out on an actual date. Then, if things go well worry about kissing her at that point.
....BUT again, I readily admit maybe I am wrong there. Maybe this is a case of fortune favors the bold and, given that you two are already so close (albeit for now just as friends) it would seem better just to go for the kiss and hope it goes well. I'm not sure. I suppose, the difference from HER perspective would be whether she also likes you as more than a friend or not. If she DOES, she'd probably welcome the kiss, if she DOES NOT, she might not appreciate that bold a move.
So, I'll have to just boil it down to I sort of disagree with some of what has been said.... but readily admit that maybe I am wrong. Again, hopefully some of our female members can chime in with what they think. How would they feel if somebody with whom they had previously only been friends made the move to kiss them vs. whether they asked them out first.
I will say this....
IF you do kiss her, I agree with pc's thoughts in that I don't suggest you "grab her face," as you put it. I think this could seem overly aggressive and NOT romantic the way you intend. More so, as pc said, I'd say you just put your hands on her hips, or around her back, or something like that.
Good luck to you either way.
