hey guys so i'm just wondering, say i were to use an opener (perhaps my tattoo opener posted in other forum) to a set, things go well, a few negs get thrown in, conversation is flowing as they don't see me as a threat. how is the best way to transition to keno and showing an interest in the target etc without straight up putting them on the defensive.

all forms of reply welcomed.
cheers lads

Well, first thing is you don't "transition" to kino. You should be touching the girls from the second you walk over. As you're opening, you should touch one or more of the girls on the shoulder OR on the small of their back. Very subtle and quick just to get the touching started. You want to come off as just a guy who naturally touches people. If you don't touch at first and then after awhile you start touching, it can be weird.

As far as demonstrating interest, you do that by qualifying and by using statements of intent.

You can qualify the girl by getting her to volunteer info about herself and then showing interest in her about those things

OR

you can just throw out a statement of intent like
"You're adorable. I don't like it "

Either way, the way to show interest without "putting them on the defense" is to follow up you interest with a tease. That's why I say shit like "I dont like it" or "ughh get away from me!" or "This is terrible" or "Too bad you're such a dork" or whatever, of course all in joking, playful manners, so they don't actually think I don't like it.
But, the tease is something you don't always need. You only really need it if the girl gets uncomfortable. If you tell a girl you like her and she's like "OMG, I think you're adorable too!" or some shit like that then DON'T tease her.

But, for the most part, you should throw in a quick little tease right after a statement of intent just to be sure.

I think your sequence is a little out of order. After you've used an opener to slip passed the usual social tension of meeting a stranger, you should start touching her ASAP. No need to use magic tricks and palm reading and all that BS. Just touch her arm to accent an emotion. If you're reaching a funny part in a story, or you're telling her a secret, or she says something that you really agree with. If you don't understand, look for a friend of yours who people actually like who seems to always touch people -- punches dudes in the shoulder, puts arms around people when they talk. You'll see how it flows naturally from the interaction. Touching is part of their communication.
