Hugging = Effective Kino?

[amazingswayze]

It's been on my mind lately. I'll include a short anecdote.

Today on campus I was walking with my bro. We stumble upon two girls we met at Bingo last week, HB6 B, and HB6.5 D. I give them hugs. We chat for a few, and the third girl HB7 Jess appears out of nowhere. This is the one I was supposed to grab coffee with. I give her a hug too. Dina has a funny last name so I teased her and she poked me a bit. We had a decent 5 min conversation since I had to get for class and I got pretty positive reactions, being friendly and cool. I already have their numbers and most definitely will make plans sometime soon.

I think that hugs make the whole situation more personal and friendlier.

So, everytime I meet a girl now, I shake her hand, and if I have established decent rapport, I will give a goodbye hug.

Hugs are the simplest form of kino I can think of.

What I'm wondering is does it actually count as kino to you guys, or is it a behavior that will land you right in the friend zone?

Thoughts on Hugs = Effective Kino?



EDIT:

Personal thoughts on my brief encounter...

When I unexpectedly encounter girls, I usually don't think much. I'm not at a loss for words, but I could be making face to face plans, using more kino, anything. I am less proactive when I have a short window of opportunity. This isn't really a big problem because in a sense, it's good that I don't think too much. But what I will say is that I don't make the most out of my opportunities. I will practice kino. This is one of the most important things I can do for my game right now to build rapport with any girl and to make a move more organically. Practice, practice, practice.

Hugs at the end of a first date have always meant a second date in my experience. Aside from that it's pretty meh

Kino is kino.

Could be as small as tapping her on the shoulder or something more extreme like slapping her *ss. Hugs don't land you in the friend zone, it's your behavior that does. Your whole approach on shaking her hand and then good-bye hug is fine.

I think it depends on how you hug, for example: Hugging my sister, I go ass out to avoid any sort of contact, but when I am hugging a girl at the end of a date, I pull her in for a close hug. The other night I finished hugging this girl and then I said, "hold on, I need another one" and she smiled and agreed. So is it Kino? Maybe if your doing the right thing with your body and hands.

It depends on how you do it. If you want to hug a woman and let her know you want her, make sure you hug her with your hand on her lower back, NOT touching her @ss. Then wrap your other arm across her upper back around the shoulders.

Let her come in a press against you, if she does then hug her a little tighter. If you are sporting a woody, so much the better. Trust me, women LOVE this.

I say of course hugs count. One of the aims of kino is to establish yourself as a man who is comfortable and accustomed to touching women. Hugging accomplishes this.

Hugs are good. And you can get a rough idea of her interest level by how much boob she puts into the hug (ie if she lets them touch you or press into you).
