I get alot of compliments from women. Especially about my hair, and my shoes. Usually, when I get compliments I say thanks and then continue with a conversation. I was wondering if there are any better responses to compliments?
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Receiving Compliments
- Thread starter Jason17
- Start date
"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.
You can always make a joke about it...
Her: I love you hair!
You: Please, you think you're the only girl who's told me that?
Make sure she can tell you're kidding though, or you could really sound like an *******.

If you get an unsolicitied compliment from a woman, it's a good sign. She's trying to show some interest, if somewhat discreetly.
I usually always begin with "thank you..." and then lead in from there.
You could go many places from there. Bust on her for 'hitting on you so obviously' (and watch her blush).
The possibilities are limitless. If she compliments something like your shirt, just lead it into something like 'the fabric feels nice too, here, try' and have her touch it.
If she compliments YOU first, you don't need to exhibit a whole lot of tact in leading the next part of the conversation. She's shown that she's interested, so you need to show your interest in return - but there is very little risk of rejection.

Girls giving compliments is one of the BEST ways to get a conversation going...... you can just turn the whole convo around...
Her: Nice Hair
You: I'm not sleeping with you......
You can do so many things with compliments....

Is that all I am to you... a sexy head of hair and a flashy pair of shoes? I have feelings - you know. Im not some piece of meat, or some damn sex toy!
Say it with a straight face for an amazing laugh and some skyrocketed interest.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Dont say your not sleeping with her. Thats no fun and its not what EITHER of you want to hear. Just let her know shes going to have to WORK if she wants to sleep with you.

Yeah, if you are explicit by saying that, you shot yourself in the foot. If you say something like, "Don't think complimenting me is going to get me to sleep with you" That implies her to try harder and it is already assumed she wants you.Originally posted by TonyTheTigerOI
