When I was a younger guy, I was very shy and would never "disrespect a woman."

And then I saw an interaction where this guy is hitting on this girl that I liked, and he was teasing her about her "big feet" (I didn't think they were all that noticeably larger than average honestly) and she was laughing and blushing and telling him how he had a goofy haircut. I was shocked, but once I started doing it too, subtly, tastefully, jokingly, I found that I had a lot more fun interactions with women.

So don't be afraid to tease lightly about something about her, especially if its also slipped in with a compliment. Something along the lines of like, "your hair is really pretty today but what is up with that WEIRD hair tie??"

Just don't start off with anything like, "feeling fat today, eh?"
