how to respond to guys flirting with you by making fun of you?

[ladydayblues]

There's a guy at the gym i'm interested in who always jokes/makes fun of me exercising in a flirty manner, but i never know how to respond to these things. I'm not quick-witted enough to come up with something immediately so i usually just smile and laugh at myself too or say something like "i'm trying!!" which feels lame and it may not seem like i'm interested since i don't banter back. How can i respond in a way that makes me seem more interested in him?

I would say something like, "Oh yeah?! Let's see you do it then!" So then he'll go on the machine and probably do it right to which I would respond by saying, "Oh sure...that's just because I warmed it up for you."

I just thought of another one...

 

If he sees you struggling on a machine, just say, "I'm just checking the structural integrity of the machine, wouldn't want you to get hurt when you use it *wink*."

Ask him to show you how to do it right

haha! i like them! thanks! i'll try and remember these for next time. i'll have to memorize a bunch of comebacks like these

Here's one more for you...

 

Again, if he sees you struggling on how to do an exercise, respond with, "I'm creating a workout video on how NOT to do these exercises...I have cameras hidden all over this place."

"It's because I haven't had my morning coffee yet"

This is the "cocky smart aleck" flirting. Many guys do this and it works really well unless the girl is really uptight and then the guy knows it and moves on.

It sounds like he is interested so just make it easy for him to take the next step. I don't think it is chance that he is there at the same time as you.

Since you are a pretty girl you don't need to be quick witted, just receptive and fun. Next time he pokes fun at you just say "well then why don't you come over here and help me" Ubless he is dense as cement he will take the hint. I am assuming you know each others names but if not when he comes over say "hi my name is ladydatblues what yours?" and the rest will be history!

 

Good luck

The only way to get good at witty banter is to practice. Also, smile while you do it. A smile is worth a lot more than you may realize.

"I'm so slow at this I don't even know how to respond to you"
