"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Whenever someone gives me a really sincere compliment, my usual answer is as follows:
HER: Wow, you're attractive, smart AND funny!
ME: That's what I keep trying to tell everybody.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Her: " you are really nice looking"
Looking in her eyes with a sly grin:
1. Are you hitting on me?
2. Why don't you just ask me for my number
3. Hey I'm not thaaaat easy
4. Is that your way of asking me out?
5. Is that the best pickup line you have?
6. Hey, glad we have something in common
7. What? Even without the makeup?
8. Finally a women who speaks her mind!
9.
*badly acting it's hard to hear*
Sorry what was that you said?...
What?....
Didn't quite get you?...
Say that again?...
What???
Oh... I just like the sound of voice when you say it.
*apply Kino here*
Hehehe otherwise
Just say.... "Thanks" and move on to something else like it was nothing.
This forces her to assume that you get that a lot and it doesn't really mean that much to you. She might even call you on it. I love this. Good default reaction for those still on their training wheels.
haha that would count as a compliment towards a fat ugly girl.Originally posted by Kaine
hahaha love it, thats too much ammo for a smooth criminal
Her: " you are really nice looking"
Looking in her eyes with a sly grin:
6. Hey, glad we have something in common
her: "you are really nice looking."
Me: you want me dont you? (with a grin and my hand on my chin with the look that im thinking of something naughty)
Me: and?
me: finally! someone that doesnt look at my inner beauty!
me: Exactly!

However, when it's a stranger or someone I barely know who compliments me, I just say "thanks". I noticed that this is how most confident HBs take compliments and it indicates that receiving them is no big deal.

"Thank you" is normal.
If you want to be ****ier, say something like "I know." and give her a big grin.
Or just don't say sh!t. It drives 'em nuts when they throw you compliments and you don't react. I guess they think "He must get that ALL the time if he takes it so nonchalantly". Or something, fvck'f I know.
hehe, I like that one. Delivered with a dead serious face saying "it really means a lot to me to have somebody not just look at my inner beauty" I can see that one being the dog's b*llocks. ,)
I usually say something like "well, it's hard not to."
