a genuine compliment goes a long way. I believe that the fact that there are no hopes or other motives behind it, makes it even more attractive, endearing and meaningful.
I had to pop into town a bit earlier to get one of my motorbikes serviced and I decided to have a wander about to pass the time.
While i'm crossing the road at a crossing I hear a motorbike pull up and stop and as i'm a biker I had a glance. The bike was nothing special but as I was looking at it I saw a pair of the most stunning eyes i'd ever seen looking out from the crash helmet...... they were beautiful.
So, I stop crossing and walk over to her and tell her what I thought. She seemed very surprised but very pleased too and just said "Erm.. Thanks, thanks very much". I just smile back and continue to cross the road. She drives up the road for about 100yrds and then pulls over, parks up and calls me. While i'm wandering over she takes off her helmet and gloves and reaches into her jacket and hands me her business card. "Give me a ring when you can and we can have lunch" she says, gives me a huge grin, puts her gear back on, gets back on her bike and rides off.
Now most people reading this will know i'm very happily married and if you didn't you do now. I didn't have any intentions of chatting her up or anything when I went over to her, just to tell her that she had lovely eyes. I do this every now and then, I enjoy it. I don't think paying someone a compliment is a bad thing and if you make someone smile a few times a day what's the harm?
So, to the moral of my wee story...... If you see someone that looks nice, is dressed nice, smells nice or as in this case, has pretty eyes just consider telling them. You may well make their day, you'll feel good and you never know, you might get a chance of a date from it whether your looking for one or not.
Notice that it's nearly always the married guys who have the nerve to give compliments to strangers. Most single guys never would have done that. That's the sad part.
