"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Hi All,

I'm heading on holidays tomorrow and I'm reading up and thinkg about my game (lack of) and hoping (praying, actually) that I can start a conversation up.

I've never kinoed in my life, and was wondering if you could give me some examples of how to kino without starting a convo. I read one example where a guy nudged a girl in her lower back (good position) to move forward in the line. She then kept checking him out.

I wanted to try this and was wondering, say the girl then turns around to ask why you touched her. Is it a good move to wink when you tell her.

Example: You're in a line and you nudge her to move forward. You tell her 'The line started moving' then wink? That way she knows that you're interested and not just impatient?

Can somebody please point me to some good examples of kino, that show the conversation as well as how they kinoed. I'd like to know their timing in relation to the convo.

Thanks
Jason
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Your example sounds kinda weak. The wink is great but use it only among people your familiar with. I wouldnt wink to some girl Ive never seen before unless she was giving IOI's and/or seemed friendly.

Blush and then pass out.

Its not bad as long as your really friendly and confident, also the line should be moving or else you will look like an ass.
I dont know how to answer your question cause every chick and situation is different. I might comment on the line being realy long and make friendly playfull conversation.

A wink conveys the same as a cheeky smile/smirk. She'll get the idea.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I think a wink is good for your arsenal when sarging but using it with that line about the line moving was very weak, a waste. I usually use it after a dramatic pause after giving a c/f line to a woman. You know when she stares at you not believing that you said what you said. Giving her a raised eyebrow, a wink and a nudge (for the kino effect) can make a lasting connection in her mind.
