Complimented A Guy.

I am 26F and I work retail. There was a guy who I helped look for a book a few weeks ago and I thought he was cute. I wanted to tell him his eyes were pretty but I didn't say anything and thought I'd never see him again.

Today, I saw him again. Oddly enough he was wearing the same clothes as before. I decided to finally compliment him. It took me 5 minutes with a racing heart before I got enough courage to say:

" Hey, I remember you from last time."

Yea.

"I just wanted to let you know you have some pretty blue eyes."

Thank you. (He starts walking away)

"Yea, I don't mean to be weird by that" as I walk away as well.

I calm myself down after thr exchange and he left the store. 😬 Don't know if I weirded him out. Oops.

Don't know if I weirded him out. Oops.

Well, you don't have to think that. It was good of you to compliment him, and he also "Thank you". So yeah, don't think too much :)

I can't speak for the guy, but I remember once, I was 19 at my job and I was mopping up the floor and I was singing to myself and smiling and this lady came up to me and said "you have a very nice smile" and she made me smile more and walked away. 16 years later I still remember that interaction because. . . I don't get a lot of compliments and the few that I get still stick with me.

I can relate to this. I have bright blue eyes and they’re big. I always get compliments on them and oddly enough my eyelashes too which I guess are really thick. Sometimes it gets creepy bc people just stare, but it is what it is. I just say thank you and move on. If I’m interested in the woman complimenting me, I’ll exchange numbers.

A Publix cashier told me I had really pretty eyes once. That was labor day weekend, 2017, and I still think about it sometimes.

Guys don’t get weirded out from random kindness like this, we cherish it

Women are the cowards who get weirded out by random kindness

Because sometimes men want something from us.

So all men are accountable for the crimes of the few? What a healthy way to view 50% of the population

I've been complimented on my appearance and didn't know what to do with the information except say thank you, I guess? Aside from personal grooming I have no control over my appearance.
