I used to be decent at kino and it was common for me to get a kiss 2-3 hours into a 6-7 hour date. I read through a bunch of the top Google results and they were helpful, but they really didn't talk much about when to escalate other than we she responds to other escalations and I have trouble getting it started in the first place.
I recently moved and have been focusing on a lot of personal goals so I havent dated much in past two years. I met a lot of women at work so I am really good at bantering with them. I have a date with a woman early next week and we met online and we've already bantered back and forth a dozen times, during messaging and the texts to setup the date, about getting married so clearly she’s comfortable and I need to escalate on the date.
When it comes to kino I've had no practice. A few women I went out with recently the dates didn't go well, and to some extent they just weren't what I was looking for, but I did notice I was afraid and overthinking kino and didn't even try.
This girl I have a date with, I think I just need to escalate almost right away given how much rapport we have. If I don't my behavior won't be congruent, right? I was thinking of finding a place where there’s not a table between us, or even just grab coffee then walk down to the park that's down the street. Easy to hold hands walking her across a semi-busy crosswalk, and a park bench is more natural to sit close and touch than a table.
Any tips on how/when to initiate kino and make it automatic for me again so I'm not overthinking it?
