Dealing with: "You would rather TEASE ME than COMPLIMENT Me"

[Roadhammered]

I am dating someone who has a HIL (high interest level), partly because I am good at being slightly ****y(in a light, flippant way), unpredictable, fun, and am good at neg hittings.

She loves it. But she STILL is going to complain about it.

This is just how women are. Since you are smarter it will be easy to see the double double way she's going to look at it.

The most obvious thing she said over the weekend is ' why dont you ever compliment me? Youre always putting me downn. You must not even like me'

When I heard it i knew my attitude was coming across. Not in a mean way, but she no way was bored with me.

My response was more of the same. No reason to get all sappy then. I shrugged it off with 'i only kid people who can handle it' or something like that. Of course she loved it.

refuse to let her complaints prevent you from the attitude.

i think its a test, trying to see whether you'd change your attitude or not

It's definitely a test. Now, a question about your choice of words:

what does being ****y in a flippant type of manner imply? I'm curious as it sounds more negative than it probably is.
