I met this girl at college orientation and talked with her and hung out with her for the day, and then hugged her before we left (well she hugged me). Anyway, we have talked a good bit over text and stuff and I definitely feel close and comfortable with her, but hopefully not too much (friendzone-esq). Any tips on how to use KINO in the college game for a beginner? I definitely don't want to over think things and be like I need to use Kino here here and here, but what are good times to use it without feeling weird?

Like in showing her my dorm room on the way there when we have to turn touch her back and gently push her in the right direction? Or is that too much too fast? When playing a game casually lean in or rub against her? Sit next to her and let our legs rub touch (although it would be awkward to be that close to her if there is a decent amount of room on a couch or something right?) We're going to go out one night (not sure if its as friends or a date, my mistake in the way I phrased it) to play some mini golf and get a smoothie or something afterwards, any advice on how to KINO there?

Thanks

you definitely over thinking it my man, just go with the flow, but try not to show the "friend traits" if you know what i mean, cause those will get you stuck in the friend zone. some things you might need to consider and over look before you know whether you should try and make a move or not;

when you guys text, does she text you first?

if so how often? (if its an every day kinda thing then you really have nothing to worry about cause shes probably into you)

are you guys planning on hanging out during the summer. etc?

if all the sign are right then kino wont be necessary, ask her out on a date and make your move at the end (or just make a move while you guys are hanging out one day, but dont be pushy), simple as that. Especially being a first year, a girl is still in the "highschool mindset" and getting out of her comfort zone is something shed probably be in to.

well anyways good luck to you, and let us know how it goes.

Can you just clarify the friend traits? I'm not always there for her consoling her but then again our convo is over text (she lives across the country so I'll only see her at school, which starts in about a month and a half).

She texts me first sometimes, I don't always initiate it sometimes she tells me to get on oovoo or texts me with things so its not a complete one way street. If I don't talk to her for awhile she'll usually message me, its not an every day thing, maybe once a week or so from not hearing from me. We used to talk like every day right after we met and sent really long messages, but its died down a bit (our convos kinda went on all day through the night and the next morning, but she did text me a few times a week to initiate a conversation before). If I tell her I have a game she'll usually ask how it went the next day too.

When I asked her out (well, I thought I did) I made a bet (she was saying she was great at something so I said fine first week you and me we'll play and loser buys smoothies) it was a long story but then she was saying she got smoothies the other day with a guy friend and was like ours isn't a date either after she misinterpreted something I said (have fun buying me a smoothie) but the thing is is shes not ridiculously attractive so its not like shes out of my league so idk if it was a test or a nice rejection


Anyway, any suggestions based off above or just kino in college or kino in general help would be appreciated

any help? really don't want to blow it with her or in college in general.

I did hug her when we met so where should I start with Kino? I'll probably give her a hug when I see her, but then where to go from there?
