Seriously, don't focus on the ends so much. Just go out. If you had a good time, go out again. Keep doing this and after a while, it'll just happen. Focusing on the concept of being a "couple" will likely undo your good intentions.
Well that depends.
When you are young enough and new to dating scene problem isn't finding partner in time that suits yourself but yourself in time that suits partner.
If you want just girlfriend to hang out that is fine but if you want really get involved with someone in long-time frame then you have to take it slowly.
Some people nowadays try out everything that comes across but I would suggest really looking around. With the right girl you don't have to think out so much where you are going to go because she wants to go there anyway as long it is with you.
One tip is to be sensitively interested what girls do and what they think when you talk with them. They want to get noticed as long as you don't overdo it by stalking or anything and at the same time keep the goal in mind so you progress all the time without hesitation. Otherwise you will be ruled into the friend zone possibly forever.
But in the end it's really about what kind of relationship you are after and what kind of girl you're dating. Get to know them and then you know what to do. For some it might look like rocket science when it really isn't so.
You are possibly so young that you shouldn't too much think about the result rather go step-by-step. Remember that girls play all kinds of games and they don't really know what to do either, they just wait that you know. As long as you keep moving into direction they're going too, about everything should go right. There's hardly anything to lose really, except possibly reputation which you get back anyway someday, so don't worry.
For the first kiss, prefer romantic situation. It can be almost anyplace or anytime really, just like warpus said it will come naturally after all.
Lots of dating doesn't mean you necessarily learn anything from it.
It can be waste of time also while you could really be with someone special.
Not that I would know anything about it. But let's say I have learned my lesson.
