LeaningIntoTheMuse Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 And it felt good! I was told by a girl (who I wasn't interested in, btw, but very pretty) that I'm a good looking guy. I feel more optimistic.
carhill Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I think that's a great attitude. It's far better than, after a lifetime of compliments eventually turning to manipulation, to become bitter and cynical about such acts/actions/words. I hope that doesn't happen to you, as it has to me. Hang in there, it'll all work out
alethean Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 The interesting thing is that there are probably more women thinking the same thing but who don't have the volition to say it, so you are probably a lot better-looking than you think you are. Glad someone outright said it though.

denise_xo Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Yay That's great. Agree with this, too: The interesting thing is that there are probably more women thinking the same thing but who don't have the volition to say it, so you are probably a lot better-looking than you think you are.

But after I read carhill's post, I think I'll just agree with his post.
Author LeaningIntoTheMuse Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 It was an offhand compliment. She just said it. She's engaged, anyways, so she's off limits. She's kind of cute, but obviously engaged girls are not my type!
Rinnix Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Feels nice to be noticed. You must have been looking pretty darn good today.

Dust Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 How do you know this girl is engaged. How do you even know her. How did this compliment come about? You weren’t complaining about how bad you have it were you? Tell me the entire situation this happened in. Was she a neighbor? Why were you talking?
DufenSchmertz Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 It only counts as a "compliment" if the girl touches your body somehow when she says it--feels your biceps, runs her hands on your chest, etc. Now if she had called you "hot" I'd be more inclined to accept it at face value as a real compliment, even without the touching. But, I've never heard a girl call a man "good looking" to describe actual attraction to him.

Calling a guy "hot" or running my hands over his body would never happen no matter how much I liked him. That's way too forward for me. I'm happy for you LITM!
