I had an experience about 2 nights ago, and it dealt heavily with Kino... something I don't normally do.
Let's just say, I applied it to the FULLEST extent this night.
A good friend of mine and his girlfriend were going out to a club over here called Dragon's. Normal hip hop club. We show up, and my buddy's girlfriend told me that she talked to one of her co-workers, and how her co-worker wanted to meet me. I was totally cool with the idea, even though blind dates have a potential to turn out really bad. Wasn't the case this night. The girl finally shows up after 20 minutes of being there. I was almost tempted to go talk to some other girl who had been eyeing me up pretty good, and had she not shown up when she did, I would've went ahead and did that. Well, it was a good thing I waited, cause this girl was HOT. I immediately introduce myself, grab her hand, and drag her out to the dance floor. I hadn't realized it, but this girl was INCREDIBLY shy. She couldn't look me in the eyes for the first 20 minutes of meeting... yet, she was grinning the entire time and she had absolutely NO problems dancing with me. I applied the kino full force, pulling away every so often not to overwhelm her. At first, I didn't think she was interested, but when we took a break, I asked her for her phone number, she pulled out her phone, I pulled out mine, she grabbed my phone, typed her number in it and saved it... THEN called her phone to make sure her phone worked. She wanted to make sure I got her number. After that, she started making attempts to make eye contact, which she would hold for about a second or two before looking at the ground. By the end of the night, though, she would almost forget she was staring into my eyes. Had she not had work the next day at 7 in the morning, I probably could've f'closed her.
So yes, Kino is very important, and don't ever wait for the girl to initiate it. And I would agree... 24-48 hours is good, unless she herself has a busy schedual... then you can probably give it another 2 days.
