... just isn't happening for me.

This has become almost a sticking point for me, and it's terrible. I don't use nearly enough kino. I do my best to "escalate the vibe", as 60yearsofchallenge recommends, but, honestly, that's probably just an excuse my subconscious makes to avoid kino.

When I'm with the girl, I brush up against her occasionally and such, but, COME ON, we all know there's wayyyy more to it than that.

Basically, I think I know why this happens, but I'm essentially "uncomfortable" with kino. Blah blah, psychological problems, yeah, you're right.

The question is, do you guys have any ideas for a "newbie mission" to improve kino? My only thoughts so far were to do something for the "free hug" campaign (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4) or go around having high five contests or some crap like that.

Also note, I'm in high school, so I generally have problems field testing stuff because I see the same people all the time.

while there are plenty places in my game that need work, kino has always been the tightest part of my game. i think it's huge in building comfort by breaking the touch barrier. i noticed that i do this subconciously. but i think at some point in my younger years i made it a point to do it consciously until it became ingrained in me. (not sure, but what the hell. if not, u do it until it's in u). everytime i say something clever, i touch her arm right around the shoulder area. i think in the beginning i just start out iwth a quick very light squeeze. as i go on (i do it very often and very early), the squeeze gets more firm (not death grip) and done with intent, all the while cotinuing the conversation and keeping eye contact. it distracts her from the kino. i use it when, joking and hitting a punchline. i use it to emphasize a point, when being serious. i do it when i we empathize, find commonalities. i do it ALL the time!

i noticed once uve touched her so often, it makes the more serious kino smoother and not as awkward (not at all if ur calibration is on point).

oh yea, i love while sitting on at the bar with a stools with backs, when i fold my leg over (closest leg to her figure 4 folded on furthest leg.) it kinda forces u to lean back and makes u look cool. also resting my arm on the back of her chair (chairs angled slightly facing each other so u can talk) for quick access to kino grab her arm. or slightly circular motion rub her back as u talk. but i love it, because my knee/lap that juts out at her, gives her a platform to lean toward me and use it as a table for her elbow, or hands as she talks to me. i make her kino me. nice!

i think it's important to keep her mind occupied by talking too. especially in the beginning kino. eliminates awkwardness, and u just come off as a touchy guy with no ulterior motives.

i love finding a park bench during C phase and sitting on top and with her back to me on a lower seat, so i can give the back rub. hair pulling. leading to k-close.

rambling.

PS: that was my second post. i 3-seconded this thread also. it's getting easier! no rejections from u guys so far!
