I'm interested in an Asian girl from my university and I'm quite sure she likes me, but so far I haven't done any kino (no-courage-no-kino-can-i-rescue-this-vt ... highlight= )
This weekend the two of us will watch a theatre play together. This is when I finally need to do something. What's the best way of making a move like going for a kiss? Shall I do it during the play? Or shall I wait for afterwards? Also, I'm in general very defensive with establishing body contact. Should I hug her when I meet her that day or would that be awkward because so far I have never hugged her?
I'm very inexperienced in this, so any suggestions will be helpful for me. Thanks!

First and most important, work on calming yourself down. More high strung you are about the situation, the more likely you will make mistakes.

Is this the first time you've been alone together outside school? I wouldn't hug but putting your hand on her back leading into the theatre is a good start to physical contact. Theatre is not the best scenario because you won't be able to talk/flirt etc. Get her out for a cup of coffee/meal afterward theb escalate during and read for her responses (does she touch you, body language, etc.) Make the move if it's there.

I never liked kissing girls during plays or movies, the exception being girls I have already hooked up with before. Learn to be less "defensive with establishing body contact".. your body language should ooze with confidence, after all you are the man out of the two of you.

Yes, hug her when you meet her that day. This is where the kino begins. This is the point in your life where you need to start letting go of caring whether or not things you do with women will turn out to be 'awkward'. This type of thinking serves no purpose beyond talking yourself out of doing new things that you are uncomfortable doing.. If you want to get the girls, start doing them anyway. Hold her hand and lead her as you walk into the theater, to your seats, etc. Don't ask, just grab her hand and do it. Same while you are watching the play.. this is the extent of kino you can really throw out in this situation, but its better then nothing.

The main thing is that you are demonstrating to her that this is a DATE, and the whole reason you are out together is mutual romantic interest. From the very beginning, it should be clear through your actions that you aren't out as friends, and that this is a date. This way, you don't have to worry about "making a move" on a "friend" and worrying if it will be "awkward".. you are on a date with a girl, so at the bare minimum you are going to hold her hand and kiss her at the end, because thats the kind of guy you are.

Get it?
