How to Respond to a Girl

If a woman insists you’re too good for her, tailor your response to provide validation, confidence, and reassurance messaging. Here are some top comebacks:

  1. I appreciate you thinking so highly of me, but I’d love to get to know the real you better over dinner soon!
  2. I may come across intimidating, but I promise I don’t bite! Let’s chat more and be ourselves.
  3. You seem like a catch yourself – let’s talk more and see if this connection has potential. Drinks this weekend?
  4. I’m flattered, but no one is out of anyone’s league. I’m very interested in you as you are and would love to keep talking!
  5. I really enjoy our conversations. Let’s not worry about who measures up to who and just focus on getting to know each other better!

The key is making her feel at ease, focusing on your interest in her, and moving the conversation forward in a positive direction. Avoid anything too pushy or aggressive. Offer reassurance and validate her attractiveness and intrigue subtly. Suggest continuing the conversation over a date to evaluate potential. The tone should remain light, upbeat and communicative of your attraction.

How to Respond to a Guy

If a man insists you’re too good for him, provide ego boosting yet also direct and bold responses. Some great examples:

  1. I’m flattered, but no need to put me on a pedestal just yet! Let’s chat more over drinks later this week.
  2. Too good for you? Frankly I was thinking you seem a bit out of MY league! Why don’t we talk more and see if we’re a good match?
  3. I appreciate the compliment, but I’d love to get to know the real you. Dinner on Friday? Bring your confidence and charm!
  4. I really enjoy our banter and don’t think anyone is out of anyone’s league here! But I AM into you. Want to chat more soon?
  5. I don’t subscribe to “leagues” when dating but I DO know I’m interested. Let’s grab a drink this weekend and see where things go!

The aim is making him feel desirable yet also intrigued and challenged. Flatter his ego but also communicate clear reciprocal interest and suggest getting together to continue evaluating compatibility and chemistry. The tone should be fairly direct, bold, positive, and showcase your confident, no-games attitude.

Other Related Questions

What if they insist “you’re too good for me” repeatedly during the date?

Reiterate that you don’t judge people by leagues and are getting to know them for who they are. Focus on having an enjoyable time in the moment versus questioning the connection.

What if you actually DO feel out of their league?

Politely suggest it feels you may not be a great match and wish them the best finding someone well-suited for the connection they seek. No need to be combative or indignant.

How can you stand out from others they may date?

Avoid games, communicate genuine interest, ask thoughtful questions, showcase your humour and personality. The right person won’t compare you to others if the chemistry and compatibility feels strong.

Conclusion

Being told “you’re too good for me” can be both flattering but also frustrating if said prematurely. It can stop a budding connection in its tracks or lead to wasted romantic potential between you and someone worthy if either side allows self-limiting doubts to take hold. Use the creative, captivating responses provided in this article to disarm the “out of my league” barriers that arise with intriguing romantic candidates. A dash of confidence, splash of humour, sprinkle of validation and forward-moving momentum can turn a fizzle into sizzle!
