I get all kinds of compliments on my eyes all the time and while of course I usually just say thanks I always wish I could think of something kinda flirty or some kind of witty remark to spark more interest and make them laugh. Maybe there isn't but is there any other response I could come up with for when they ask stuff like "I love your eyes" or "you have pretty eyes". Maybe there isnt but its worth a shot
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"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.
"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.

Stop overanalzing simple facts of life. You're not going to get a girl to fall in love with you by little things like coming up with the most C+F or witty remark possible to an ordinary scenario. Some of you focus far too much on game. playing 
You got a compliment, accept it with dignity and move on.

Look deep into her eyes and slowly make a seductive smile. Then make some convo.

I usually reply in a girly mocking voice "tell me something i don't know"
yea really guys. this site has many good points, but wat it also does it cause newbies to over analyze everything a girl does, which is as healthy as being totally AFC. dont do this.TillTheEndOfTime said:Stop overanalzing simple facts of life.

Funny = spontaneous...
If it's not spontaneous it's not really funny either. Which isn't to say you can't be intentionally funny but trying to hard will always result in not being funny or being flat out lame.
So basically, if something funny to say hits you in retort to a compliment, go for it, if not, just say 'thanks'.
Also... witty doesn't work on everyone as it has a knack for becoming obscure if you make a witty comment to the wrong person. So tailor your humor to the person you're talking to, if you don't know who you're talking to it's always best to keep it very light and transparent.... It helps a lot if you are good as seizing people up quickly.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

you could always pretend you don't get it much and be bashful or whatever...iuno
I'd just say thanks and blush...you could probs say something like "all the better to see you with" like the wolf in the kids' story

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
