Post subject:  Taking compliments

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.

No.

Thank you is all you need to say.

One-two word answers.

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.
