To start off, I'm new to this forum and hope that I'm doing this right, or it comes out right.

I've looked at some of the topics being discussed, and I notice that a lot of the topics have gloomy vibes. I know that love-shyness is a sad thing, being that I'm also love-shy, but today I want to liven up the vibe a bit. They way I want to do this is by discussing something that can make us feel good about ourselves, or at least make us lighten up a bit. I want to talk about getting compliments, good remarks, and so on by a girl. I know that a good number of you have at some point received a good compliment that has made all of you feel good about yourselves

So my question is: what is the best thing that a girl has ever said to you?
And if you want, follow it up with where it happened, the circumstances, etc, for better insight.

I would like to see what all of you have to say, and I hope that making you reflect on that one thing you were told that it gives you strength, encouragement, and hope in your lives, and that it reminds you that you can be good enough for someone out there. So lets feed on that one best thing we were told so we can empower ourselves.

So I'll go first and the best thing a girl has ever said to me was; "damn boy you're pretty fine, I hope I see more guys like you around"

This was said to me while I was working one night and some random girl just came into the store to get some gas and buy gum. FYI she was pretty good-looking, nice body, and she was probably around 20yrs old. If I see that a good number of you would actually care to know the full details of that story and are curious, then I'll probably post about it sometime in the near future.

I hope to see response from you and I wish you all the best in your ventures, and hope that whatever girl you have your eye on at work, school, grocery store, etc, turns into something successful.

In before "get out troll!"

Unsure if troll... Although anytime I see something in the guest viewables I instantly think troll. He's either a FNG or a bad troll. I think I'll give this guy the benefit of the doubt though and say FNG.

A female coworker once told me she'd leave her boyfriend for me. This is after I told her that I didn't even want her as a platonic friend.

I don't remember any girls complimenting me to my face, but I have overheard compliments a couple of times.

One time I was at a grocery store, in a hurry. The aisle was empty except me and a cute girl. After I walked past her, she said, loud enough for me to hear clearly, "You're gorgeous."

One time at a public festival I walked past two girls and one said to the other, clearly referring to me, "That's what I like," as if she had been looking all afternoon for a guy to cite to her friend as an example of her type.

In both instances I just kept walking.

You're only handsome when a non-gay guy says he'll leave his 9/10 GF for you...got it buddy?

What's a FNG?

The best thing a girl has ever said to me was "I'd rather die than cheat on you". She wasn't sincere at all, but it gave me the most amazing mood boost ever when she said it.

as a kid I was always embarrassed at any extra attention I received. I remember around the first days of jr high a girl complimented me on my shirt and I pretty much just ignored her. I remember this because my parents were with me at the time and they both gave me shit about it for roughly 3 years. That was how warped my reality became due to elementary school though. I figured anytime someone went out of their way to talk to me they were setting up a joke or talkin shit or not being serious.

I still have trouble taking compliments seriously. The last one I got was from my oneitis. She simply said I looked nice.

Fuckin new guy

The best thing ever said to me? I don't know about actually to my face, but someone once said (apparently) that they 'wished there were more people like me'. And someone once said I looked 'lovely' in my Facebook profile picture.



That's me, absolutely to a tee. I usually think they're taking the p**s, not being serious, got the wrong person even, and that whatever they're saying I'm not really deserving of it.

I read somewhere that a large number of "normal" people are also insecure about receiving compliments. They only believe the simplest, most casual ones. That's something to consider before trying to give one.

When I was in Asia I received many compliments and smiles from Asian girls.

Stuff like "You are handosme" or simple questions "Do you have a girlfriend?".

In Poland four women I know told me that I look "handsome". My oneitis told me this and complimented me many times, but still didn't want to be with me as a girlfriend. Friendship - no problem.

It's kind of sad when women are complimenting you first and then reject your romantic advances.

Still such compliments definitely give me some reason to try again.

"You're a lovely part of my life."

There have been many others, but that's by far in a way the best.

I'm the opposite most of the time actually. It depends who it comes from, but I completely disregard the simple ones like nice shirt/shoes etc. I assume it's just people being polite/fake/making small talk.

A female friend once complimented my cologne but it was a genuine compliment about the smell.

A few stick in my mind. Although, I generally am not good at accepting complements. I may say thanks and let it be at that.

Top ones that come to mind:
1) "I love you." - from my oneitis. (although not enough to marry me)
2) "my sister says you're handsome." (when I met my oneitis' sister and she reported back to my oneitis)
3) "smile, it's your best feature." (advice from a female friend. I took it as positive.)
4) "wow you're fun!" (escort I saw in Edmonton who seemed to enjoy the hour)
5) "I'm coming!" (escort who did very much so)
