Having great convo. As you can see by timestamps, she was replying super fast. She even agreed to grab coffee earlier.

But then I said "Damn I didn't realize you're this cool" and she instantly stopped replying. She obviously saw the message. I should've thought a little before sending that since I realize now it came off as a backhanded insult. She seemed super playful so I didn't think it would do any harm. If I had just sent the other message about us having so much in common, I think I would've been fine.

I obviously don't wanna just say "sorry" or "hope that didn't come off the wrong way" but how would you guys suggest following up on that?

"Are you not this cool?"

When you overly validate for something so small, you're setting a chasing frame that she is above you and you have to be overly nice to get her

I don't really see how she could take it the wrong way. Seems like you'd really have to twist the phrase to make it anything other than a compliment.

Don't apologize though., that's a low-T move. Own it and move on.

I don’t think it’s that bad, but thoughts like that you keep to yourself unless you’re going somewhere with it.

So now I suggest either going somewhere with it, “So what else does cool girl get up to” (I wouldn’t use that just an example) , or recalibrating to something else
