How would a girl react...

Basically, I have used an "arrogant" approach towards this girl and so far it has worked.

I am not normally arrogant so how would the girl react if I was to include this in a text:

(I know she is single but she doesn't know that I know this :p: )

Your "fella" is a lucky man to have a girlfriend like you.

Yes or No?

I'd really like that text if I received it - most girls like arrogance; but only to a degree. Sending a complimentary but not sickly-sweet text like that will show her that you do have a softer side too; but that you're not going to go down on one knee any time soon.

And, she'll probably text back saying 'thanks hun, but I don't have a fella' - which is the perfect situation for you then to move in for the kill hehe.

Good luck - I'd send it if I were you; but don't make it too OTT - just say what you put in this post, don't say 'your fella is so, so, so lucky to have someone as wonderful as you' - she'll either think you were drunk, or she'll be freaked out and put off.

Go for it! And let us know how it goes x :biggrin:

Thanks a lot :biggrin:

I'll send it when I am on the bus going to work.

If she does reply saying "I'm single", whats the best course of action.

Im really attracted to arrogant guys.. and its the best thing when an arrogant guy says something kinda cute.. the girl feel like she's winning the challenge!

Yeah that's spot on! Arrogance is initially attracive, but 'cutness' will make the difference between a fling and a relationship; and as Annik says, a girl always likes to feel that she's winning the game!

If she texts back saying she's single, wait a while then text back with something like 'Oh really? Wow - I thought you'd have been snapped up ages ago :wink: Do you fancy going for a drink sometime, maybe to the xxx bar in xxx? I'd really like to get to know you better, tb'

I'd send something like that - quite relaxed, nice but not OTT. Keep a slight bit of arrogance though; maybe say 'I thought you'd have been snapped up ages ago - but then people say that about my gorgeous self too and I'm still young free and single!'

Good luck! x

Plus then if she doesnt like you, you have an easy get out cause, she can just say she has a boyfriend and it avoids any awquadness!

Good idea in my opinion... I totally agree with the girls who said that an 'arrogant' guy complimenting you is great because you think you've won him over. Ok so you could be more straightforward but nah, the thrill is in the chase :biggrin:.

Not being deadly serious about relationships doesn't make a person shallow :rolleyes:.

No one suggested that a girl would like a guy purely because 'he makes her think she's winning' - but most girls would find this appealing. If that makes most of the female population 'shallow' then that's news to me.

Errrm, I'm assuming most girls like a guy for a few other reasons than that... Everyone was just saying it's fun to be a bit like that, it's called flirting! Doesn't take anything away from the resultant relationship, and in fact if we're talking about depth, just asking someone for a drink immediately is surely more shallow. What would you have gone on then, looks? You wouldn't know them!

now that's just dangerous, going out with some randomer.

well what else would it be when you don't know a guy? to be honest i think it's pretty ignorant to consider any form of flirtation shallow. how else is he gonna woo you, by reading romantic poetry?? and to think that all relationships should be based on is discussions over a drink is, well, unrealistic.

Lol ok, then surely you can be realistic and see that different things are attractive to different people!

You should just be glad that people are attracted to different character traits; that's how the world evolves for goodness' sake!
