compliments

[ucxb]

Is it easy for you to take them? And do you know whether or not you are being hit on?

I was leaving the market with a friend, a gent came up to me and took my cart. He commented on my purchase saying how he loves the item. My friend tells me he was hitting on me?? I am clueless. It wasn’t like he was complimenting me… And even if he did compliment me I would have felt embarrassed and just politely thanked him... With that in mind, there was this one time I was getting my cigs and a gent came up to me talking about the brand and such, me being all serious while he was biting his bottom lip gazing at me… It made me wonder if I was being hit on then too. If I was being hit on wouldn't the person follow-up with a question or comment implying they want to get to know me? My point I am trying to make is that I do not know if I am able to recognize another hitting on me and compliments are polite gestures that I commonly give out even to strangers so I do not consider compliments a hit on

I know what you mean because sometimes I over think something a woman will say or do to me. People flirt and show interest in different ways and it's not always clear, but it's something you don't want to question and look stupid if your wrong.

So i'd say show interest back and see where it goes, a more obvious sign might happen that way - obviously don't if your not interested

It could've been that the person asking about the cigs was trying to hit on you, but wasn't very confident and your serious response, probably lacking any indication you were interested or even realized you were being "hit on," may have caused him to just give up and not pursue it any further. Just my thoughts from reading that.

Basically, some guys who aren't overly confident may try to strike up conversation to try and pick up on any small signals women may be sending, to appraise whether or not they're interested. And giving up in the middle due to not seeing any signals will likely just leave the conversation, from the woman's perspective, as "that was an odd compliment/conversation."

I feel like I made that much more complex than it needed to be...

The biting of the bottom lip is a tell. That guy was wanting to engage you in conversation.

Kinda hoping I catch my date this coming weekend biting her bottom lip. LOL!

If it happens again, maybe I will have the confidence to just ask if I am being hit on ?! That would be simpler and to the point ?

No. It's like quantum physics - in the moment you measure a quantity (asking whether he's hitting on you), you force the quantity (in this case to stop hitting on you)



But yeah, my bet is that if a guy approaches you out of nowhere, they are most probably interested in you.

 

[ucxb]

Welp. It seems like a more complicated matter now, I will forget about figuring out being hit on and just be natural about whatevers, whenevers even if it is a total miss. I don't have it in me to solve on my own !

I've never head of anyone using the observer effect to describe something so ordinary, hilarious!

It's like schrodinger's cat, how do you know the outcome (his intentions) without you looking in the box (asking him), and is in a superposition of states (in your mind) until observed.

Exactly! Just be yourself and if someone is complimenting you or talking to you nicely then just go with the flow especially if you're unsure if someone if hitting on you or just being friendly.

But I hope you encounter such pleasant situations more!

Schrodinger's cat sounds like an overly complicated humdinger and makes for a good maddening chuckle !

Noooooooooo!! It needs to be simpler, it CAN be simpler !!

Roflmao. Okay Mike, you just literally made me crack up again. LMAO. I don't know, it's just the sudden unexpected comments you make. *shakes head*

Thanks though for that laugh. Lol.

Omg, perfanoff, as I am reading this off you, I am picturing you as Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. Do you look like him?

i wouldn't know because i hardly talk to anyone while no one ever comes up and talks to me.

I have a hard time believing the compliments I get but I usually try to be polite so I just say thank you. I never over-think also. There may have been times some guys compliment or talk to me in a way to go somewhere, but because I'm such a dork and never realise it, I blow them off lol. I think it happened with a couple of my guy friends in school.

Hehe, no, not really
When I was young I looked like that other celebrity.. well if your bribe is worth it I'd tell you

Of course my bribe is worth it. Ask the others - they'd agree.
Which other celebrity? The Leonard guy?

Ladyforsaken, I will chip in on said bribe if it is reasonable! It would be nice to see your face, perfanoff! If nothing other than just to know you are really a person <-- that applies to a variety of folks here in ALL, maybe I should make a thread about the faces we want to see!

 

[ladyforsaken]

ucxb! He posted up his picture!! Thank you for chipping in on the bribe!! You're awesome!!
