Got two questions, one about kino and the other about an IOI.

Today I was working out at the gym, I saw a girl and checked her out. She looked at me but I looked away immediately (should've smiled there, bad move). I walk away after doing hyperextensions and then proceed to do some pullups. My workout is done and I only need to stretch now, so I go to the stretching place where the girl is by coincidence as well. I look at her, she looks at me. I start stretching my hamstrings and ask her wether my knees are bent. She tells me just a little bit. After this we don't talk anymore and when I look her way again I notice that she loosened her hair. Is this an IOI? As in she's trying to attract me by making herself more attractive.

Couple weeks ago I decided to hit on a girl at the burger king, we converse a bit and at times she would lean in to me a lot. Is this an IOI and should I touch her at this point to attract her?

Thanks in advance.

At the gym, it may or may not have been an IOI, but it doesn't make any difference because you could have talked to her either way. But you didn't.

I would like to say that kino does not automatically attract. It can have the opposite effect if used wrong. It can be interpreted as an IOI, and if you are too obvious the girl may loose interest. Sometimes you can build some tension by avoiding it alltogether for some time, to your advantage. It is all about reading the situation, and that is a skill that you have to learn yourself.

For instance, yesterday I was on a corporate event dominated by men. There were only two girls. One of the girls was almost under attack by all guys, and they all touched her to show her their interest. She liked the attention of course, but nothing more. I chose the opposite strategy and avoided kino as far as possible, and made sure to be more energetic and more positive than all the other guys. How did it end? She started to do kino on me instead, and since she had her boyfriend right next to her when I was about to leave, she said something as modest as "we have to go out again sometime". But we all know what that actually means.

Thanks hugge. I was acting very indifferent at the burger king set and that was because I didn't really care for the girl (not my type at all), but she just kept on talking about herself and it was so annoying. I wasn't really listening yet she seemed into me for some reason. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't touch her. Pretty much showed her Idgaf.

Thanks for the info.

Good points being made in this thread. Sometimes doing a kino freezout can get a girls' interest levels up in certain specific situations. As in you lightly kino the other girls around but not her. That is why it is important to not take a rigid "by the book" approach to this game.
