The Sometimes Procedure

[foggy]

By adding the word "sometimes" to the end of your compliments, you turn the compliment into a push pull.

Frontstory: You're a cool girl, sometimes.
Redhead: What! Only sometimes?

The contradictory nature of the compliment gets her curious, and you can use this opportunity to tease her further.

Frontstory: You're a cool girl, sometimes.
Redhead: What! Only sometimes?
Frontstory: That fanny pack you're wearing makes you seem like a total soccer mom. I'm surprised you don't drive a minivan.
