Today, I went on a blind date. She seemed really nervous, so I tried negging to loosen her up. She decked me. FML

You didn't dodge the bullet on that one! Verbal abuse leading to domestic violence? You two need to go your separate ways.

It means to go negative. For some reason, there are those who think insults and put-downs are a good strategy for dating.

Back-handed compliments that are really put downs to lower the victim's self-esteem ... it's a form of sexual "grooming" and emotional manipulation to in an attempt to get the victim to try to gain approval from the attacker.

Negging is an act of emotional manipulation whereby a person makes a deliberate backhanded compliment or otherwise flirtatious remark to another person to undermine their confidence and increase their need of the manipulator's approval. The term was coined and prescribed by pickup artists. Wikipedia

Wow, it's really impressive how bold you are. Too bad your ideas are awful.

Probably would have had more success with offering up pegging!

According to Urban Dictionary, it's undermining a woman's self-confidence so she'll be more vulnerable to advances.

I don't condone hitting people, but you certainly deserved a negative reaction. (A more appropriate response on her part would be telling you to GFY and walking out the door.) What the **** were you thinking? I sure hope this woman tells all of your mutual friends what an ass you are.
