True I don't disagree with you it's a risky one but what I'm saying is if a girl doesn't like it there's no need to throw a paddy.(Original post by Clip)
What I'm saying is that in my experience, there's a fair chance that you wouldn't like it either (IRL).
On a separate note some men give these kind of compliments which can be interpreted as backhanded on purpose I believe it is called negging. It's more men that advise each other to do that in those hilarious pick up artist communities never heard a woman telling a man to do it. Yes I've been negged before I'll agree it doesn't work![]()

She was in to me...she was talking seductively (at least I thought so).
I meant, lips for talking sexy, kissing...etc. -

OP that was hardly as bad as I thought it was going to be! The 'eyes of an angel' part was abit meh... but the 'lips for sin', a bit of an old fashioned compliment...but not something you would take badly. I think she may have misunderstood, I actually didn't think compliments like that existed anymore. I actually really like that compliment, I don't know why it was taken so terribly, haha the situation made me laugh a little but clearly wasn't funny for you, sorry my friend.

There's no context to this, so we don't really know how it came across. It could be that OP is really, really awkward and it sounded like a 40 year old on Tinder. She possibly did think that he was asking her for oral sex.
Again, this is the same old. If she's initially into him - it basically doesn't matter what he says as long as it isn't outlandishly offensive. If she's on the fence, she'll probably think he's a loser for starting to talk to her by basically insulting her.
Her name starts with K, I call her 'Special K' at work all the time - she loves it. I think this was all a big over-reaction. -

So I'm out at this after-work social at a bar in Oxford and I was talking to a girl I work with. We've been working together for a few months now. I think she's single but I've never really asked; no ring anyways.
After a few drinks I'm picking up some seriously good vibes from her. I tell her that she has 'eyes like an angel but lips for sin' with a bit of a grin on my face.
She then proceeds to say 'how dare you' and walks off and actually goes home.
I don't understand what I said wrong. It's hardly like saying 'nice tits'...
I am am not looking forward to Monday morning :/ -

Use good old flirt lines. What you said is too... shakespearean... and it makes you sound like a desperate pervert imo. No hard feelings it's good that you try to impress girls but fancy flirt lines are rather superficial and vain if you ask me.

Im perfectly comfortable talking to girls. I'm also 2 years younger.
Her name starts with K, I call her 'Special K' at work all the time - she loves it. I think this was all a big over-reaction.
Also - I would revise the idea of giving a woman a nickname based on a weight-loss product. -

How did you get to that point? You'd have to have been practicing some serious banter skills to pull that off

You come out with the worst line I've ever heard, and somehow this is her fault?

It was just talk about work to begin with.
Then it got to that stage wheres she's basically laughing at nearly each and every thing I say and she's fidgeting and touching my shoulder a lot.
May be I should have built up to it, with more "traditional" lines but this just felt like such an appropriate thing to say. -

Was her giving you a BJ on your mind? Lame line ditch it asap.
Enjoy Monday. You will probably have half the female work force giving you evils.
