+128 An expression of romantic interest would serve more as a compliment to you coming from someone of the opposite sex than it would coming from a member of the same sex. amirite?

When guys like me, I just feel bad because I can't return the feelings.

I think it's a huge compliment to be desired by someone of the same sex. It's just something that doesn't happen very often :P

Yeah, just like I'd be more flattered if a guy complimented me (even on something platonic) than a girl because, as a girl, I feel much more comfortable complimenting fellow females (probably because I can figure out what girls want to be complimented on), so it takes a lot more impressiveness for a guy to warrant a compliment, if that makes sense. And all that makes comments from males leave more of an impact because I I assume guys feel the same way, I suppose. I hope that made sense.

It differs from person to person, but most girls I know (myself included) would rather be complimented on something really specific than something generic. Like, instead of being told they're pretty, they'd rather be complimented on something unique to them, like their dimples or how their eyes squint up when they smile or their wittiness or how they always wait until after the punchline to start laughing. Things like that.

Hey HMDucky, I like your dimples and the way your eyes squint up, also the way you time your laughter after a joke's punchline is phenomenal. Also you are very witty, I dig that.

I'm just really awkward with all compliments. wary SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW TO RESPOND.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Follow these steps: 1.) Wear all black, and dye your hair orange. 2.) Have multiple face piercings in odd areas. 3.) Have a well-known criminal record. 4.) Shave one side of your head. 5.) Give people an evil stare when they attempt to make a joke. Your handling of compliments won't improve, but that will be irrelevant because you'll never get any.

How about a simple thank you? Accepting a compliment does //not// make you seem conceited, but trying to play one down will make you seem insecure or like one who fishes for compliments.

That reminded me of Mean Girls. "Wait, you were homeschooled? But you're, like, really pretty." "Thank you!" "So you agree?" "Huh?" "You think you're really pretty?"

emo d Hey YeahIAm, am I doing it right?

Well, you can say "thanks" or "thank you," but you have to act like you mean it. By that I mean smile when you say it and make the tone of your voice really nice. If you want to be super-modest, you can always say, "really? thanks." If they are complimenting you on something like an item of clothing, you can say "thanks, I got it from ___" Don't try to compliment them back right away because that seems fake. Wait a day or two, and then when you see them, for example, wearing a shirt that you think looks nice, compliment them on that.
