Sometimes unnecessary touches are awkward when escalating kino, I accidentally invented this routine a year ago before I started lurking here and it has given me success so far, so I thought after all this lurking I could share something.

So I was in a bar in NYC talking to a chinese girl, and when she took a sip of her margarita I noticed the glass was really big, or wait no; she had very small hands.

ME Omg you're hands are tiny! How are you able to hold your glass with one hand?
HB Haha no they're not that small!
ME Yes they are, come here, compare them to my hand.

Holding my hand against hers

ME You see? I think can make your hand disappear with both of my hands.

Grab and cover her hand with both of my hands

ME Look how tiny your hand is, it's gone!
HB Haha, omg! They are small! But they are just very feminine I think!
ME Aww, yes sure, they are very feminine OR Aww, your hands are kinda cute.

Hug with a face as if I feel sorry for her and want to cheer her up

I like it as it is a neg and a way to start kino in one routine, the kino borders were completely gone after this. I haven't used the hug part every time; only if they enjoyed the neg. And you really need to exaggerate the first "OMG your hands are small".
Last time I did this, a girl whom I wasn't focussing on at all, suddenly gave me an IOI by asking me to compare to her hands too, so that's a nice unexpected result. Almost every time I did this it went as I wrote above. Let me know what you think and what the results are when you've tried it.
