Thanks a lot tsmith, you're the man. What should I do when it is time to escalate?
Depends on the situation. Kino takes a good three to six months to really get down pat. Lots of trial and error.
Start off with the little games people do to initiate touching. Make fun of her and poke her, pretend to compliment her bracelet and really just use it as an excuse to touch her wrist. Stuff like that.
Than you can make it a little more natural and be more spontaneous. I was talking to an old fling at the bar and I could tell she was still super attracted to me. At times I would literally just press my hand against hers for long periods of time while we talked and she was very responsive.
In a sense what you want do is literally "escalate". Put an arm around her, hold her, walk arm in arm, hold her hand... stuff that two people would do when they are romantically involved.
I've heard running your fingers through her hair is a really good one, but that's pretty advanced, even for me. I don't think I've ever been able to pull it off. If you can though, supposedly it is very sensual.
I think the hips are a real sensitive area for women. If you are talking to her up close and the vibe seems like escalation is possible, touch her hip for a few seconds. It worked like a charm for me with a girl I had a thing for last year. As soon as I touched her hips (I was leaving the bar and saying goodbye), she grabbed my wrist and asked me where I'd be headed to next.
A lot of women use kino intrinsically, our job is to make it work for us.
Over time you'll also be able to gauge how responsive she is by the kino you're getting from her. It's usually a two way street. If she does something like put her hands on your stomach or chest, she is VERY INTERESTED. Send her some kino back and next she'll be kissing your neck. Watch!
