Fly is right about it being an attraction tool. I disagree however that it can become detrimental. It could , if used excessively , but then again ,in excess , anything can be detrimental.

Also, being cocky/funny involves teasing her. That's what it's all about. U'll have a hard time doing it if you're afraid of losing her. Most of the time teasing is slightly risky. It's important to stay centered if occasionally u get a bad reaction. Most of the time she'll love it though.
Watch her mood. If it's playful you're good to go. If it's somehow negative u better make it playful first.
Anyway , this is good stuff.Teasing is a great way to keep things interesting in an LTR. But it kinda has to be in tone with your character. I'm a little cocky by nature , so teasing fits well with me. I'd bust on a girl for random stuff all the time. If you're worried about not being 'mean' , you can always throw in some calibration. Here's an example:
*She messes up cooking for you or whatever*
This is a opportunity to rip on her a bit , right ?
Obviously ,delivery is important and is what sets teasing apart from asshole-hood.
Her:"I kinda screwed it up ^^".
You:"Yea , you're terrible at this."
Her:"Shut uuup...it's not that bad"
You:"Well,it's not the worst I've ever seen..."
Her:"seeee ?"
You:"Yeah,no , the last time you cooked it was even worse."
(again,delivery is important right ? but if you feel you're touching a nerve you can always defuse it some calibration.In this case , 'bringing yourself down' is a good way to do it.)
Her:"*seems to be getting upset*"
You:"Hey,don't worry ,I suck at cooking too. I'm probably worse than you".
Her:"*bla bla , yes you are *"
You: *Take a bite* -" Nope , you're definitely worse".
Sometimes it might be mean , but there's a slight difference between 'cute mean' and 'asshole mean'.Anyway,teasing is about situational humor. You might know everything about her , but there's always gonna be new situations in which you 2 will find yourselves in.
Personally ,I love teasing. I'd do it for the most random things you can imagine. But obviously you can't go all retard about it. Know when it's ok to play and know when you should be there to support her.
