I'd think he was just buttering me up for a booty call. Tell her she looks nice, then work your way up on the compliment scale over a few dates. Hearing I'm sexy from a boyfriend = so awesome and such a turn on. Hearing I'm sexy from a stranger on a first date = creeper who just wants a piece

It depends on what part of the date you say it, also HOW you say it.

If you lean over and say it while girlfriends digging into her prawn cocktail, it's a bit creepy.

If you whisper it into her ear while snorgling on the sofa at the end of the evening, its HOT!

What reaction will saying this get?
If you don't know them at all, you're on the train to Creepytown with that one.

I would be pretty terrorized, and run far, far away. No thanks...that is way too much for me on a first date.

Why say anything complimentary at all to a stranger? Why not say instead, "Are you enjoying the concert?", or, while in the check-out line, "How do you like this store compared to the branch across town", or "Have you been to the organic grocery? Their produce looks great and isn't too expensive", or (on the street), "I'm looking for the XYZ store, is this the right block? You look like you know your way around..." You get the idea. The subtle approach works a lot better than, "WOW, those are some nice hooters you have, ma'am!"

Oh, but Piff would have us believe that all you have to do is whip out your bank statement and show it to her.

What I don't understand is, why does this need to be explained? How many times have we already been through this on umpteen threads? Women aren't space aliens, we're your sister, your cousin, your friend's sister. Talk to us like you talk to fellow humans that you respect, not hookers.

I look past thousands without saying a word. For *the one*...I'm doing ANYTHING to get her. ANYTHING!! I'll find the courage somehow to get it done. Sorry "git-r-done".

Why do you need to say it?

Isn't it obvious?

Why else would you be on a date?
