Roll into sets, funny openers, demonstrate social value, become part of groups, build attraction, #-close...

But my kino sucks! I know this is an inner game problem, but for the life of me I can't get past DiCarlo Stage 1 or 2 kino. Accidental brushes: fine; playing footsie: fine; an occasional shoulder or waist touch: fine; high-fives, fist-bumps: fine; hugs on greeting or departure: fine.

But I can't get hand holding, finger play, prolonged arm around shoulder... much less k-close (in the recommended way).

It all seems awkward and hard to figure out the right way to initiate.

Part of it is that I don't normally do approaches in the bar scene -- I do daytime game on the street or coffee shops or bookstores. I also go for a more naturalistic style -- not some of the contrived stuff recommended by Mystery.

So I know I need to be kino'ing early and often, escalating fast -- but I'm stuck in a holding pattern on the low levels of escalation.

In nightclubs, people are standing more, so it seems like it would be easier to move yourself and others into positions more amenable to kino.

In coffee shops and whatnot, people are in more static positions (sitting) and there isn't as much room to move.

So the question is: what kinds of kino and how to segue into it when the targets are any combination of the following (A) sitting in a cafe/restaurant, (B) solo, (C) in a car passenger seat, (D) walking down a public street together in daylight.

I'd welcome constructive advice.
