+214 Even though it's really nice being told you're pretty, there isn't a good reaction. If you deny it, you sound vain, if you say "Thank you" you may sound like you know you are, if you say nothing and just stare at them it can get pretty awkward, amirite?

a genuine thank you should be a perfectly fine response... anyone who says that implies ego is just jelly xD

Saying thank you isn't being cocky, it's being polite.

Just smile and wave.

"Really? Why thank you! <insert compliment here>" *then awkwardly stare* You can have it all that way.

"Thank you just makes it seem like you know you are." That is one of the stupidest things I've heard. "Thank you" makes you sound grateful, not egotistical. If you don't like saying "Thanks" (which is a habit you should get into) you could always respond by complimenting them. Really not that hard.

It's about time girls learned how to accept compliments. Thank you is totally appropriate to say! I can't stand when girls deny compliments that they know to be true. If someone tells me that I am wearing a pretty dress and I truthfully agree that it is pretty, I will say thank you, not "this old thing? I just threw it on in the morning."

I always look down and say thank you, then I usually end up blushing.

After several times, I realized a simple way. Just give em' a big smile, say thanks, compliment them back, & move on... But, sometimes, I feel like I'm stuck in your situation too.
