I was recently talking to this girl I met on Tinder and out of nowhere she goes “wow you’re smooth”. I was kind of taken aback and didn’t really know how to respond.

How to Respond to Guys Who Call You Smooth
The same principles generally apply when a guy calls you smooth:
Do:
- Take it as a genuine compliment
- Pay him a compliment back
- Keep things flirty and playful
- Ask him out if the vibe is right
Don’t:
- Assume he’s a player or fuckboy right away
- Respond in a overly sexual or aggressive way
- Cross physical boundaries without his consent
- Bring up relationship stuff if you just met him
Some guys use “smooth” as a sly way to test women’s interest. Others genuinely admire your flirting abilities.
Feel out the vibe, reciprocate interest if you want to pursue things, and above all keep things playful. There’s no need to overthink it!
Smooth Texting Tips
Here’s some quick tips to come off smoother through text:
Match her vibe
Weave in unique compliments
Don’t respond right away to some texts
Break things up with memes and emojis
Ask engaging questions about her
Playfully tease her about something cute/quirky she does or says
It’s less about using line for line moves and more about genuinely connecting. Smooth texters focus on vibing well rather than thinking too much about each text.
Respond to her replies in an unpredictable way. Keep her wondering what charming or flirty text you’ll send next!
Once you have inside jokes built up, callback humor is majorly effective at coming off incredibly smooth through text.
