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

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

A simple yes would have sufficed.

Maybe he took what you said as rejection. Maybe you could talk to him about it, and if he tells you he didn't say it out of rejection and he was just being rude (or if that's what you interpret from his answer) then he's not worth your time.

50% chance he just read this.

My god why would say that

Low self confidence never comes off as cute

There is nothing more annoying than someone insulting themselves rather than taking a compliment. Next time go with a shy smile and say "thank you! I'd love to go!" Both modest, and you don't chase the guy off

Guys like confidence.

WHY would you even say that?

Why didn't you just tell him you were flattered that he asked and yes, you'd love to go to the dance with him? That compliments his taste and is modest. Instead, you drove him away.

Sounds more like you went fishing. YDI
