what did he compliment you on? (clothes, face, body, other...?) my guess is your pretty hair or rack :biggrin1:
yeah, it's happened to me. it's a somewhat regular thing but i attribute it (the regularity) to making eye contact and smiling a lot (on my part).
today it was my outfit. when i stopped to get a cup of coffee in the morning before work i smiled at a man getting doughnuts and on my way out he says to me, "Nice boots!" and he smiled really big. i thought that was nice. he was probably older than me, i think.
last week i was told by a very young-looking fellow at a book store i had a beautiful smile. but here's the thing: i was hanging near the shelves he was at trying to get near some selections he was blocking...i pretended to be interested in other titles nearby in order to not be rude and flat out ask him to get out the way. i glanced his way a few times (to see if he was not blocking anymore), he caught me once or twice and i smiled in a friendly fashion and looked away. eventually he shifted and i was able to reach for a book i was interested in, as i did so i must have looked in his direction because that's when he caught my eye, smiled, and said i had a beautiful smile.
i think it's sweet when it's genuine, and i try to give back where i can by complimenting folks when the fancy strikes me sincerely.
Oddly this happens to me if I'm groomed and dressed to the nines or unwashed have not shaved and wearing sweats! Different strokes for different folks but I'll take a compliment anytime I can get one! Part of the magic of NYC though is once Anna Wintour stopped me and told me she loved my ensemble.
anna wintour!!
but i always knew you were the epitome of style and grace, nudie. :biggrin1:
