"You look dazzling."
There are a bunch of things wrong with this one. Just complimenting a girl like this in the first place is a bad move. When you do this, you're essentially telling her that, while you want to get with her, you understand that she's way out of your league, and that in order to win her approval, which you think will get you laid, you need to make her feel good with compliments and whatnot. You're talking up to her; putting her on a pedestal upon which she has no choice but to look down on you.
As for the whole "gentlemen" thing: it's a nice guy cliche that is so played out it's ridiculous.

"Reply back or else I'll think you lost your fingers."
When you send something like this, you're essentially telling her that you
really want her to text you back; you
really want her attention. Since ultimatums are usually made from positions of weakness, you're also telling her that, even though you want her attention, you don't know how to get it, so you're trying to demand it like a whimpering child. All of these things conspire against you to, once again, assure the girl that you are "beneath" her. Not good. Girls like to sleep up, not down!
Most of us have made these kinds of mistakes at some point. I used to do things like this all the time! You should read
The Game, and/or check out some PUA videos on YouTube. Mystery in particular has a lot of good stuff on this.
