Moreso an observation/puzzle than anything. Just had a day 2 with a girl I #Ced a bit back. Built strong attraction and established comfort right away, got solid IOIs. But here's my question: on several occasions (not quite half the time) when I grabbed and stroked her hand or touched her leg, she would actually look at my hand. Never had this before, and I'm curious what to make of it. Wasn't an IOD, since she eventually reciprocated, welcomed the KC, and asked for a day 3. Any takers?

I don't think this is an issue with IOI or IOD. She is already on a day 2 with you which means like already likes you. You just need to kino properly. Start small and build up with push/pull.

I usually start with a excited hug, as I hug, I spin her around. As we are walking, I do hand holding. If she says something stupid, I push her off and call her a dork or something stupid. If were walking past a poll, I push her towards it and pull her back before she hits it. Seriously, Kino is hard to explain, you have to be in the moment instead of thinking too much about it to pull it off properly. But thing to remember how is she gonna sleep with you if its awkward for you to even give her a hug.

what do you mean "she just look at my hand"?
do you regard her response as a refusal to your kino?
it seems that she is upset with your kino.
maybe you are too desperate,
you can try to kino her slowly,
i mean kino escolating should be step by step,
do not leap.
from shack hands to touch legs,
you can try to add some interims in the process.
for examle, hug, smell her hair, touch her hair, etc.
and put her hand on your leg before you put yours on her leg.

Thanks for the thoughts, I hear what you're saying. To clarify, what I described above did not present a setback or a hurdle, but I did find it curious. Other than her glancing at my hand for a split second on a few occasions before locking eyes again, my kino worked great, and I escalated slowly to the KC. For some reason, I just wasn't as shameless about going after more than that.

My read thus far is that she's a bit shy and not quite used to doing anything outside a LTR context. But feel free to share more comments/observations.
