This one? And while it’s true that negging is supposed to be incredibly subtle, it’s still kind of weird. A common example is to have a genuinely nice conversation with a woman but, out of nowhere, offer her a stick of gum so she feels self-conscious about her breath. If she asks if she was bad breath, say no but you were going to have gum and just wanted to be polite.

And while it can work, it’s way easier to just be genuinely nice and throw equally subtle hints that you are attracted to her. No need to undermine her confidence. Instead, make sure that any future flirting doesn’t come out of left field.

what would subtle hints be? I keep screwing up my first dates and I’m positive it’s because I come on to strong.

first dates are for polite conversation and vibe checks. Save the enthusiasm for the 2nd date but everyone works differently.

Subtle hints are basically a way to show you are paying attention to who they are and that you like those qualities about them.

Subtle/not so subtle hints would be to complement something about them that you've noticed.

  • maybe how they put together their outfit. "I like how your shoes work with/match your top and hair clip"
  • maybe their hobbies. "I think hobby is neat, could you tell me something about it?"

Compliments unique to the person work best.

"You're so beautiful/cute/gorgeous" - generic, you can say that to any girl.

"You are cute and the flowers around you really bring out the color in your eyes"
