If someone tells you ‘You’re gonna make me act up,’ they may mean it in two different ways. They may be saying you are getting on their nerves or may be implying that you are provoking them in a flirtatious manner. It is easy to distinguish when they mean either of both contexts and if you are looking for responses to the flirty context, that’s what I am here to give you.
In this article, I have outlined 20 flirty responses to ‘You’re gonna make me act up’ that can be used when the person saying the phrase means it in a playful, flirtatious manner.
Try any of these flirty responses to ‘You’re gonna make me act up’ when you need to engage them more and spice up the conversation:
Of Course, I Need Us To Do Things We’d Regret
When they start to act up or tell you what they want to do, you could say ‘Of course, I need us to do things we’d regret’ to extend an invitation to them. This statement admits that while you may have gotten them to that point unintentionally, you do not mind following it up. Anyone would get the clue of ‘doing things they’d regret later.’
Then I Should Get On The Front Foot
When you are intentionally trying to get them to act up and they hint that you are becoming successful, you can reply with ‘Then I should get on the front foot’ to show you are willing to not just get them to act up but act notwithstanding. Need more ideas? Here are some recommended lines to try:
- You know I am just getting started with you, right?
- Sadly, I don’t want to stop.
Tell Me When You Want Me To Stop
Some people may not be comfortable when you put them in such a situation. While some may be bold to tell you to stop, others may feel too shy to say it. You want to give the latter group a chance to express themselves without them thinking they are hurting your feelings. ‘Tell me when you want me to stop’ shows that you are willing to cooperate when they need you to stop.
I Know, Right? That’s Exactly What I Intend To Do
Another flirty response you can use when someone tells you ‘You’re gonna make me act up’ is to say ‘I know, right? That’s exactly what I intend to do.’ The idea behind this response is to reveal intent and when they are down with you, there’s no stopping at this point. Hence, only use this response when you want to go all the way with them.
I Could Do Even More
If at the point where you are flirting with them, they tell you it is almost making them act up, you can lead them on by saying ‘I could do even more.’ With this reply, you are allowing their minds to wander in imagination. Some may want to counterattack with some flirty lines. Whichever way, your earlier response already set the stage for more action.
What Are You Gonna Do To Me If You Get The Chance?
One of my most recommended lines to respond to ‘You’re gonna make me act up’ is ‘What are you gonna do to me if you get the chance?’ This question is bound to unleash whatever they’ve been trying to tame. Telling anyone who’s on the verge of acting up what they’d when they get the chance in a flirty manner will get adrenaline running through their veins instantly.
It Took You So Long
If you were trying to mess with them just to get them to act up and they finally do, you can reply with ‘It took you so long.’ While this shows you were only being a flirt, if the person was really about to act up, there’s a slim chance they’d stop. So, you might want to be a little clear if you need them to.
- I was wondering how long it was going to take before you came to that point. Well, good thing I found out.
- Oh good. Stay content with that cause that’s the best I can do.
I Don’t Mind At All
The person saying ‘You’re gonna make me act up’ may be doing so as a warning. It could be because you guys are in a public space or things could go wrong if it went past that stage. A good reply in this situation would be ‘I don’t mind at all.’ I know in the heat of the moment, this could be massive but think of the consequences.
- Look around, Sweet. Nobody cares.
- I don’t have an issue with that.
I Would Want To See What You Look Like When You Lose Every Control,
Do you want to set them on the loose? Hit them with a reply like ‘I would want to see what you look like when you lose every control’ when they say you are making them act up. This, by all standards, expresses consent. If you do, then it is an excellent idea to make use of it.
I Know I Drive You Crazy. Don’t I?
Another top-of-the-self flirty response to use when you are responding is ‘I know I drive you crazy. Don’t I?’ It is a good way to reply to your partner or someone who has a crush on you. This confident assumption doesn’t halt the process but steers it further into more flirty provocation and engagements.
Like You Made Me Do The Other Time
‘Like you made me do the other time’ is a response to use when it is not the first time one of you has been forced to act up by the other’s actions. This vengeful act will never be considered offensive and it is a good way for couples to solidify their relationship.
Nothing To Be Shy Of, King
Another way to respond as a lady when a guy tells you ‘You’re gonna make me act up’ is to say ‘Nothing to be shy of, King.’ Whether the dude says it because they are shy or not, this reply is an enticing statement to draw them in and have them do your bidding.
Oh, Let’s Put You In Check As We Don’t Want You Misbehaving In Front Of Everyone
I love this response because it’s both funny and cheeky. One time I had dinner with my girlfriend and I said some things about her physical looks that got her drooling. It was all over her face. I quickly decided to put her in check before she misbehaved, hahaha. You want to try this when the conditions aren’t ideal for them to act up.
Are You Surprised? I Am Irresistible When I Want To Be
When you are with a new fling or acquaintance and your actions are leading them to act up, you can respond by saying ‘Are you surprised? I am irresistible when I want to be.’ One time I was flirting with someone and they told me they knew they were irresistible and even right now I can’t contain the feeling. This response will hit the bullseye every time.
And We Only Just Met. I Could Be Somewhat Dangerous For You
Another good response to ‘You’re gonna make me act up’ when it is from a stranger would be ‘And we only just met. I could be somewhat dangerous for you.’ Fortunately, everybody would like this kind of ‘danger’ as long as they are into you. So, use this response as much as you want.
Save That Energy Cause You’ll Need All Of It When We Get Home
Whether they are your spouse or someone you want to have a one-night stand with, I’ll recommend you use a response like ‘Save that energy cause you’ll need all of it when we get home.’ It doesn’t just say you want them to act up, it shows you want them to do so when you both get home. If there were no plans to go home from there, then this sets that up.
Do You Think I Care? I Don’t Actually
Another bold and flirty remark to ‘You’re gonna make me act up’ is this one that shows you do not care. This can be considered a reckless move but people who are into you as much as you are into them would have no problem with this. If they are not, your flirtatious attempt will be halted there.
You Sneaky, Naughty Human. You Aren’t So Macho After All
Your spouse is going to love this one and I am confident. Telling them they are sneaky and naughty is surely going to get them roaring and ready to go for any action. This is why I only recommend that it be used when you are interacting with your partner.
- I thought you were a hard girl, you sneaky, sneaky.
- You aren’t so hard, after all, young man.
I Love It When You Are Pumped And Ready For Action
‘I love it when you are pumped and ready for action’ is another good response to ‘You’re gonna make me act up’ when it is from your partner. You’ve probably seen them act up before so referring to a recent experience will trigger their minds to it and get them to lose control even more.
- Like the last time?
- Is it as bad as yesterday afternoon?
What Stops Us From Getting Down, Right Here, Right Now?
If they are gonna act up, you can ask them ‘What stops us from getting down, right here, right now?’ You are pushing for some action, hinting you want them to act up and even go beyond just acting up. Thankfully, you can use this response whether it is with your partner or some fling. This is a crazy response and you’ll have to be careful with its usage.
- I heard they’ve got nice toilets here, you know.
- There’s nobody here. What do you think?
Before You Go
You shouldn’t be boring when someone says ‘You’re gonna make me act.’ As you’ve seen, I have curated possible responses you can use that will steer the conversation in a range of directions. From stopping them dead in their tracks to setting up a sleepover and much more, you cannot go wrong with these curated responses.
It is important in flirting that you be sure there’s consent, mutual interest, and timing. Even your partner may not be comfortable with flirting in public and you should be able to see that from their body language.
If you are interacting with strangers, understand the circumstance and be wary of any boundaries and personal reservations they might have. Always be ready to accept no for an answer or find out if the other person is comfortable with whatever attempt you are making.
In summary, respect people and seek consent before flirting with them.
