Today, a guy I like asked me to a dance. Trying to act modest and at the same time compliment him, I told him, "You could do so much better, though." After thinking for a moment, he replied, "You're right, I could. Never mind," and walked away. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Same thing different taste

I think he just mis interpreted your response for a subtle rejection. bummer though.

A simple yes would have sufficed.

When you go fishing for compliments, you can't always expect to get one.

Confidence attracts. So putting yourself down like that ain't gonna make him be like "oh no,you are the best!"

Next time maybe you should just respond with a simple yes.

He probably took that as a no. You should go for him

you couldve jumped for joy, but instead you made him run for the door.

YDI for acting like that. that goes ur chance with him.

You dug your own hole with that comment. Next time, the answer you're looking for is, "Yes".

You're so smart! Way to go

Just think if you had just been simple and said yes he might of asked you on a date while you guys were dancing, next time someone you like asks you to dance just say yes because you don't know how to play hard to get.

There is an old saying for this "never look a gift horse in the mouth".
