For what it's worth, I'll contribute my 2 cents to the above. I do like blondguy's advice of touching early.

and rememba if u do hold hands for wateva reason dont let go, talk to her whilst hand in hand and she'll soon realise, wow ive been holding this guys hand the whole time, works genious.
If you introduce each other early, shake hands and don't let go, all the while holding strong EC. It's a fun game to play and you can gauge either A) how welcoming she is to kino, or B) how distracted she is by the conversation that she doesn't really notice. I've "shook hands" for a good 2 minutes before, all I needed to know that she was a sure thing. If you open without prior EC, touching her on the shoulder or back as you open works well also.
Other tips:
1. If it's loud, you can lean in when talking, touching her shoulder or back. Sounds cheesy but works.
2. If it's loud and you're standing more in front that sideways, lean in and touch cheeks while talking. Also easy to transition into KC.
3. If your standing frontal, you can lightly grab both her shoulders while declaring some sort of mission. E.g. "Okay, we'll get you over your social anxiety problems, here's how it starts" I've used something to that effect after teasing a girl about her non-existent social anxiety. Just make sure it's something playful.
4. Later in the conversation, grab her hand (don't look at it or otherwise change your BL). Pet her hand with your thumb, see how she reacts.
5. If you're sitting, put your arm around her or start touching legs.
