Hold on.... if you are looking for basics, you gotta actually start with the basics.
Kino isn't just about "holding hands" and "rubbing her arm". It's not just used to sense her attraction to you.
Kino is a method to break the barrier of personal space. When starting out, it should be used to show you are comfortable being close to her, not that you are working up towards a kiss. And it has to be started right away. If you do it from the start, she will learn that's just who you are and she will be comfortable with that. If you all of the sudden start touching her after multiple meet ups with no physical contact, it's gonna be creepy. She would have thought you guys were "just friends" and now you keep touching her. No good.
Don't start out with anything sexual. At all. You simply need to show her you are comfortable with her. Something small like:
- Putting your hand on her arm as you walk past her, as if to say "excuse me, I'm right behind you".
- Your arm "accidentally" touching hers when you are sitting at the table (but don't pull away quickly like it was an accident. Just act is if it's not happening, or doesn't matter).
- Placing your hand on her back if you lean in to say something.
- Touching a ring on her finger to ask a question about it.
- Lightly pushing her when you are making fun of her.
Just make sure it is NATURAL. Can't stress that enough. If you feel/look timid or shy away, it's going to be really awkward. If you do it naturally and confidently, she will likely respond to it, and then you can eventually escalate.
Just remember that kino shouldn't be sexual. You just want to break down her defenses and get her comfortable having you in her personal space.
