Hey there
I was walking through the park after i had my hair cut when an HB8 just shouted out to me, LOVE YOUR JACKET!!!
i was a bit stunned and had no idea what to do so i just said thank you and moved on

In the very rare occasions i do get complimented in the street or whatever, i usuallt have no words to say amd so miss my chance

so for any experts here
Is there a way of converting her compliment into a number or whatever - even if your unprepared???
thank you

There is many comebacks to that...

- I'm not that easy you know. Just a compliment won't get you my number. (playfull delivery ofc)

Something like this comes to mind.

I think I would just walk over and say:

-Thanks. Do you often scream compliments at attractive men or you made an exception for me?

or just:

- Thanks, my name is X *exttend and for handshake*

Point is, anything beat not doing anything about it.

thanks man!
these are gold, and il try and remember them next time someone shouts out at me (as infrequent as it is )

I just say things like, "I know." Or in your case I would have taken off my jacket while saying, "As a matter of fact..(confident masculine voice) did you know that this jacket is made of the best materials for optimal comfort/warmth/swag?" While going around to her back and putting it on her. If she rejects, I would then say, "Trust me, you'll feel the difference." Her: no thanks, it's ok really Me: "We will all end up on our death bed when our life is almost gone thinking about all the things we regret doing". If she rejects again, I would put the jacket back on and say upon leaving, "It's a pleasure to have met you."
