"Carry my books"

[faiNt`]

So me and this chick have been talking awhile, and today I went to class with no books cus we were watching a movie. So she's like "carry these since you have nothing .." I said something to the effect of "you havn't earned that yet" I'm not really sure how exactly to respond to this type of request.

And

She said I should do something nice for her since .. "we won't see each other all summer unless you call me" I think that means she wants me to call her?

 

[Organized Confusion]

Yeah, you should call her. This is a woman. They're subtle. They have to disguise their come-ons nicely, so you wont think she's a complete slvt. Go for it man, but make the first move. Just because she's dropped a hint doesn't mean she's gonna be the one making all the moves.
For your other problem, that comeback was fine, you just have to keep trying and you'll get better at the comebacks, and the ****y and funny.

 

[ARrocket]

Yup, she'll be waiting for your call

And the comeback wasn't all that bad, don't worry about it. You could have said "what's in it for me?" or "you should be the one carrying MY books "

Depending on how you said this, this could turn out better or worse than you had hoped. With a cheeky grin and an exaggerated tone , you could pull this off. Any other facial expression or tone of voice and she would have thought you were being rude to her. Be careful about these kind of things.

I was thinking of that when I said this, but I've heard it's better just to say whatever you're thinking rather than think about it.

I said something like "What you think I'm your b*tch or something? " She laughed pretty hard then we walked to class and she told me in girl language that I should call her over the summer. I say girl language because girls hardly ever say exactly what they mean. :crazy:

 

[Organized Confusion]

Amen brother, Amen.

Your response was good enough, some others that came to mind for me were

"Do you always ask attractive guys to carry your books?"
"Wow you havn't even asked me out to dinner yet and you want me to carry your books"
"I don't know about that, most girls offer to carry my books"

None of these that I just came up with are all the great, but any would work, yours also got the point accross, although just like someone else had posted about another comeback, is that if you don't pull it off with the right tone, facial expression, and chemistry, then there is a chance it could sound rude. Comebacks and flirting are much more about your demeanor, body language and facial expressions, then they are about the specific words, so as long as the general conversation isn't AFC.

better response:

No.

If you think too much and always try to get the perfect reply, unless you have great wit, you're gonna stumble. Even if you find the right words, your tone will seem AFC. (Looking for approval, incongruous, etc.)

The only thing you need is something like: "Hell no i'm not carrying your books! Carry them yourself, lazy-ass!" In a playful tone you are in.

Damn guys, you're so complicated!! This is such a simple situation!!

And jcap, that's completley retarded. I MEAN REAL COMPLETLEY RETARDED. You get nothing for that... The thing we should be looking for is to make a playful vibe and what you said does exactly the opposite... It creates a negative mood... And it wastes a opportunity... You don't even have to be good with people to understand that.
