Her: "Do you like ______"?
You: "Actually, when you've got those pants on (point to her pants, numbskull), I like you. (smile) You know, I've seen an awful lot of women (always say WOMEN instead of GIRLS...makes you more 'mature') wearing those kind of pants lately, where'd you get them at?
In this reply, you've:
- C&Fed her
- Complimented her on her pants
- Negged her (WITHOUT INSULTING...this is important) by suggesting that she dresses just like everyone else.
- Springboarded into a possible sarge of HER
Give that reply a whirl. (make sure you use 'shirt' if her shirt is cool, and don't use 'pants' if she's wearing shorts, boys)
