Whenever Im single I seem to get a lot of compliments (I notice them more maybe) but I dont always know how to take them. Depending on the nature of the compliment I sometimes find it embarrassing.

For example last night I went round a friends house and when I got there it was his SPAM and her friend. She said to her friend as soon as I got there 'Oh this is Pablo, he's such a hunk. Pablo, show her your torso'. I refused politely and shrugged it off with a 'thanks'. Then she said I was beautifull and went on about it. Sometimes its just really akward. Same sort of thing happened in the pub except it was a group of girls I know getting me to pull up my shirt and playing with my hair and I could feel myself going red. Dont get me wrong I enjoy a compliment but I know for a fact I let myself down when I get complimented on my looks.

How do I take a compliment like a gent even when they go a bit over the top. Smiling and saying 'thank you' over and over again gets akward and saying 'you have exceptional taste' or something arrogant like that just isnt me.

"Thanks, I work hard at keeping myself in shape..."

If she wants to see the goods - play. "You first!"

It's a good problem to have... just treat it like it's appreciated, and forgotten - that you don't NEED the justification. That in itself shows a self-confidence that says "Thank you for the compliment, and I do work hard to stay in shape"... But it says it subliminally...

Thats quite helpfull, thanks.

Say for example Im with friends and I like one of the girls who we are with and she gives me a compliment in front of everyone. Would it show a lack of interest to just give a smile and nod of acknowledgement or would be better to verbally acknowledge the compliment?

Acknowedge it as if she just said "That's a cool shirt you have on!". It's a non-issue to you... it's a subliminal implant to her - It tells her that while you're appreciative and responded, you're also self-confident enough to not need to treat it like it matters. It is what it is...

Less is more. But yeah, absolutely ackowledge the fact she's complimented you.
