FB game. Opened by teasing... she took it the wrong way.

Alright... so here's the deal.

1:25pm
Me: It's cute that you listen to metal so you can come off as some kind of bad girl.

9:11pm
Her: Is that an insult? Because I do actually enjoy Black metal specifically

I read in the Brad P.'s Adventures preview that every ballerina he's met always tries to convey this total bad-girl image and they're really sensitive about it, so I thought I'd try teasing her.
That said... she is a ballet dancer (pretty hot, like an 8.7), and me and her were already acquainted with one another from several months ago. She's hot so I thought "whatever" and am giving it a shot.

So either she took it the wrong way or I wrote it the wrong way. Probably both.
That was a pretty hardcore neg on my part, and she's not even a 10. Whatever...

What sort of things should I respond with? I never worry about losing a girl, but I'd still like to see what I could salvage out of this.
I've got ideas, but would like input.

Opening with a neg is hard if thats all you do. Make it more teasing....do it with a smile.

Me: Aww... come on! You're such a kidder...
We all know ballerinas don't listen to heavy music!

You may not get a response from that if she took you seriously.

When I open with a neg, I usually structure it so that the reader knows it a joke (unless they are really socially unaware).

Negs do not work online. Period.

If you don't believe me, just look at how many people have been posting about how a delivering a neg online caused them to lose a girl.

They also rarely work in real life unless you deliver them perfectly and the girl is uber-hot. Seriously, avoid negs and get the "neg attitude" out of your head.

I actually don't like negs, personally.
What I wrote on her wall was intended as teasing, but I didn't word it very well.
