You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know, oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful"
Clutch. Very funny.

We have no idea what he meant.

Your options are 1.) Accept the compliment and continue to see him or 2.) Stop seeing him.
if it was denzel washington, she wouldve said thank you. it seems like she is looking for an excuse to dump this nice guy who pays her sweet compliments.

And I think Ms. Vanilla, chessimprov, and Hokiefan are WAY off base. (No offense is meant though.)
Then why call them out instead of just responding directly to them?

You don't have to state who you disagree with to get your point across. Kind of seems like you're trying to get the OP to disregard their statements or discredit them in some way.....

Strange.

But back to the OP, I believe you're thinking too far into it, as usual. Just relax, enjoy the ride, and stop questioning everything.

I am. The OP received a compliment, and some people are putting crazy ideas in her head.

Can't stop people from giving their opinions and I think whether or not she takes their opinions to heart or believes them is her responsibility. Not yours. I just didn't agree with the way you went about it. It was petty and provocative. But that's just my opinion, that's all.

Agree with comments above, “You are even prettier than you think you are” is a common, well-meaning compliment.

And yet you basically said the same thing to her:

Whether you realize it or not, you also instructed her to disregard those comments.
