You probably already know this but when a guy calls you trouble, he means the opposite and he is interested in you.
You may wonder where the idea of trouble came from but he may find you troublesome. Maybe you are troublesome but he likes that part of you and finds you attractive.
Sometimes, it doesn’t mean actual trouble. When you are with a person you love, he/she can have an unusual influence on you. You can be easily persuaded to do the wrong things. That alone can be considered trouble.
However, when you hear the word, keep in mind that he is not trying to insult you. He finds you admirably persuasive. If you wonder how to reply when you are called trouble, the list below is there to help you out.
How To Respond When A Guy Calls You Trouble
- Well, you look like peace.
- Honestly, you make me worse
- Aww. That means a lot to me.
- You have no idea how much.
- I try my best to change.
- Opposite sides attract.
- Yes, and heartache too.
- Just so you know, I know what that means.

Well, you look like peace
While this is not special in any way, it is something you can say instead of staring back at him blankly. You can smile to show you are flattered, then tell him he looks like peace.
He will probably smile back and tell you he is quite troublesome too. By saying this, you are giving him a legit reply and the conversation can keep going.
This is much better than keeping silent unless you don’t want anything with him and you want the conversation to end quickly. Guys like girls who are open-minded and expressive.
By saying this reply or just any related comment, it shows you are present in the conversation and you are not boring.
Honestly, you make me worse
While showing you are flattered, this comment will probably flatter your partner too. It is much better than the one above since it sounds a bit funnier.
This one will probably keep the conversation going for a slightly longer time. The comment may become a full topic for a short while, as you both argue about which of you is more troublesome.
The guy will most likely ask how he has made you more troublesome. It will truly flatter him that you find him to be impactful, even though all you are talking about is trouble.

Aww. That means a lot to me
This will sound a bit funny because the guy wouldn’t expect you to take it as a compliment. When you say this, you can wear a wide smile or a flattered look and it will make the guy laugh in wonder.

You have no idea how much

You just have to respond in a way that shows you are listening and you are focused on the moment.
Opposite sides attract
This is quite short so you will have to add something to it on your own. Guys will like it when you express yourself freely in every conversation.
If a guy accuses you of being talkative, there has to be an underlying issue. It’s either he has issues to deal with and whatever you are saying is not helping or you keep saying wrong things at the wrong times.
Also, saying this can be a way to indulge him in flirting. By calling you trouble, he has probably started flirting with you. By saying this back to him, you are encouraging him and flirting back.
He will consider you fun to be with, as long as you don’t make the moment boring for him.
Yes, and heartache too

Just so you know, I know what that means
This response drags the conversation even longer. Keep in mind that he wants a long conversation with you and, asides from that, he wants your full attention in your moment together.
When you say this, you put him in suspense, as he will be eager to know what you think he meant when he called you trouble.

He will probably wear a cool smile or a fake frown. Then you can tell that he is speaking with admiration.
I have not even started
You can say this, even if you don’t plan to do anything. This won’t be dragging the conversation as he may wish but it is a nice response. It is much better than keeping quiet.
If you can’t think of a flirty or nice response immediately, you can just admit that you are trouble. It should make him smile.
I am not as troublesome as I look
This is a nice response if the guy is not already very close to you. If it is a guy you are already dating, this response may not fit in since he already knows a lot about you.
Saying this won’t drag the topic but it is a nice response to give if you can’t think of something better. Remember to be as expressive as you can. You can also choose to be sarcastic with some of your responses.
Guys like expressive and funny girls. You can win a guy’s heart if you have these qualities.
I am the trouble you need

Who else will trouble you if I don’t?
You can give this response if the guy is your boyfriend. You may use it for a random guy who seems attracted to you but it should work better if you are referring to your partner.
He will most likely find a response to this and the topic will be dragged a bit longer. Remain expressive and open-minded so you don’t get him bored.
You like trouble, don’t you?
It is sometimes hard to tell if the guy is just being romantic by calling you trouble, especially when his face is blank or frowny. However, your response can force a reaction that exposes the true intentions of the name.
You will force him to smile or chuckle when you say this. There is also a chance that he will get defensively sarcastic but it would be too obvious that he is trying to pretend.
Aww… I love you too
There is a high chance you will get him to burst out in laughter. It is very funny if you respond with this. You will be telling him that you know what he meant and you will be telling him to his face.
He may try to get sarcastic to pretend but he will most likely be unable to repress his laughter.
Conclusion
One of the most common ways of expressing the truth is by saying the opposite of what one means. He may call you trouble in a way that suggests he doesn’t like that part of you. However, he can’t keep the façade for long.
Pointing out the truth from his sarcasm will get him laughing at himself.
