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.

After thinking about it more, I realized there’s actually many ways you can respond when a girl calls you smooth. I decided to put together this list of funny, flirty, and savage comebacks to use next time this happens to me or you!

30 Ways To Respond When She Calls You Smooth

Before jumping into the responses, here’s a quick overview of why she might be calling you smooth in the first place:

  • You said something clever or charming that impressed her
  • You seamlessly worked in a compliment about her
  • Your texts come off as confident and natural

If she’s calling you smooth, it means your flirting skills are on point! But you still need a good comeback lined up.

Here’s 30 great options:

Why thank you

What can I say, I was born this way

Takes one to know one

I try

Just keeping it real

I’m only smooth with you

Guess my mom was right about me being a charmer

I must have gotten all the smooth genes in my family

pretends to dust off shoulders Another one bites the smooth dust

Is that your way of saying you like me?

Well I am pretty slick

You noticed my smoothness huh?

Aww thanks babe

I’ve always been quick on my feet with words

Was it that line about your smile that got you?

I may look calm but my mind races for clever responses

What can I say I was born charming

Aw you’re making me blush over here

Maybe you’re just easy to talk flirty with

I can teach you my smooth ways if you’d like

I ate a smoothie this morning, maybe that’s it

My mom says I got the gift of gab

Let’s just say I’ve smooth talked a few ladies in my day

Didn’t you know I’m the smoothest guy on Tinder?

Thank my fast wit and sharp tongue

I guess hanging out with my grandpa rubbed off on me

Who said chivalry was dead? #stillsmooth

Handing out smooth compliments is my specialty

Would it help if I talk in a smooth British accent from now on?

Funny Responses

Here’s some funny and playful ways to respond when she calls you smooth:

  • I moisturize daily
  • My pick up lines don’t work so I had to step up my flirting game
  • Don’t tell anyone my smooth secret
  • My mom will be so proud to hear her little boy is “smooth” now
  • Yep and it only took me 25 years to get here
  • Is calling someone smooth still a thing? My grandpa used to say that
  • Smooth as crunchy peanut butter
  • I Googled “how to be smooth with girls” last night

As you can see, going the funny route allows you to tease her back while keeping things lighthearted.

Savage Responses

If you want to clap back with something bold or cocky, use one of these savage responses:

  • Smooth enough to get your number
  • You haven’t seen anything yet baby
  • I know
  • Glad you finally noticed
  • Just one of my many talents

The key with savage responses is walking that fine line between confident and straight up jerk. Add a flirty emoji so she knows you’re just playing around.

Flirty Responses

Flirty responses are a great way to reciprocate interest while building romantic tension:

  • Maybe you bring out the smoothness in me
  • I save my smooth moves just for you
  • I’d love to show you more of just how smooth I can be sometime
  • There’s more where that came from if you stick around
  • I can’t help being smooth when I’m talking to a gorgeous girl like you

Flirty responses let her know you’re attracted to her while inviting her to flirt back.

Do:

  • Reciprocate interest
  • Pay her a genuine compliment back
  • Continue being smooth! Use a cheeky or bold response
  • Ask her out if it feels right

Don’t:

  • Get overconfident or cocky
  • Become overly self-deprecating

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.

Common Mistakes Guys Make

To wrap things up, here’s the biggest mistakes guys make when called smooth:

✘ Getting cocky or overly self-confident
✘ Not knowing how to take a compliment
✘ Trying too hard to be smooth after the fact ✘ Making it awkward with a sexual comment
✘ Responding in an overly aggressive or defensive way

Remember, getting called smooth is a good thing! She’s complimenting your flirting abilities.

Don’t panic and say something stupid trying hard to be smooth after the fact. Relax and leverage the compliment to continue having a fun, flirty dynamic with this girl!

Conclusion

As you can see, getting called smooth by a girl can be shocking at first. But ride the wave by firing back a charming, clever or flirty response!

Pay her a genuine compliment, continue expressing interest in creative ways, and keep that smooth persona rolling by not taking yourself too seriously!

Whether she calls you smooth via text, on the phone or in person, have some go-to responses lined up for anytime it happens!
