I don't think opening a door for someone or smiling means you want to have sex with them.... It's common manners and friendliness IMO.
that reminds me of a date I was on a few months ago. after we finished eating, he looked at me and goes "well..you look very kissable today"...blech. It was over then. Never spoke to him, nor saw him again.

What he said was a little odd, but it wasn't over-the-top, IMHO I mean you were on a date right, it wasn't some guy at the next table. It wasn't like he wiped his mouth off and said something like this:


"I'd like to do things to you that I wouldn't do to farm animals."

well no it wasn't over the top, but I barely knew him at all. If we had known each other and had already established some kind of flirtatiousness, it wouldn't have been so creepy. but honestly, he might as well have said that he would like to do things to me that he wouldn't do to farm animals..he was that creepy. and I don't think most men are creepy, I'm not like that at all, he just was. He wasn't bad looking either, just really creepy.

Can I give a man a compliment ever without giving him perhaps the wrong impression?

Also, I'm really bored today.
Depends on the delivery. And even then, sometimes when I think I did it right or in the right setting, I felt like I was talking to myself. I laughed on the inside and just said to myself, "You look good, too!"

[so sometimes, it just depends but don't be discouraged]

Things do change, but only very, very slowly.
haha I agree.

In my part of Wyoming, most people just don't dress up much. About a year ago I was in the grocery store and walked past a young lady standing by the Starbucks counter like she was waiting for someone. She was dressed in an attractive suit, as I recall, with matching dress shoes, nice hair... she just looked very nicely "done up" and stood out from the mass of people in jeans, sweatshirts and tennis shoes. I almost complimented her. I wanted to. But I was afraid she'd take it the wrong way. I kept my mouth shut. It's a shame that we're afraid to pay a compliment these days for fear of being considered creepy, but that's often the case.

Many things you hear on this forum are a first, and hopefully... the last!

I give men compliments and they all appreciate it. Many men in the workplace are afraid to give women compliments, though, which is, sadly, understandable... I have a fairly new coworker who said on a few occasions I looked "sharp." While it IS a compliment, you can smell the fear in it... I just told him a few days ago if he keeps saying that, I'd start feeling like a knife and he said he was gonna try to expand his selection of adjectives.
