I say it often with a smile to everyone everywhere. I dont hear it enough. I dont hear enough compliments either. I was in Jack in the box, and the girl behind the counter was soo patient with a guest that may have been mentally reatarded. She clerk was polite to her even though she was busy. When the gueast left I told the clerk I noticed how paient and profesional she was. She almost burst she was so proud. I made her day with words. But she made the guests experience good with her kindness.

Any complement that comes out of your crushe's mouth is amazing, it doesn't matter what he says, as long as its sweet, and you melt and have that tingly feeling running all over your body all the way to your finger and toe tips when he tells you that, its always nice. And when you remember his words when you are all alone and it puts a BIG smile on your face, and you feel like you would do anything to hear those words over and over...and over...and over. I've been complemented by my crush today and I'm happier than ever, and I wish you the same thing...its like magic...

If they say it they would usually mean it, more than likely they mean it more than you know.\n\nI know if i like someone i will give them compliments like that.\n\nI guess it depends on the person.

Did they ask for your opinion? If so, then be honest but tactful. The most important thing about paying a compliment is sincerity. \nBeing beautiful isn't just about the size of one's body. It's about how a person carries themself, the person as a whole, their aura, their personality. A confident and beautiful fat person, is far more attractive than a shallow, insecure, pin up girl.

Subtle things.  Compliments are always good.  A girl loves compliments just don't over do it thats kinda creepy sometimes. Tell her she looks nice or smells good.

He's giving you an honest compliment.  Appreciate that he took time to say it.  Don't overthink it, and don't be uptite about it.  Just accept it gratefully and thank him for the compliment. If you're not sure what to say to a compliment, Just say, "Why, thank you -  it's always nice to be appreciated". If he wants something else, like lunch, he'll ask.  You'll have to take it from there.

Any comment you would make to your mother.  In other words if it wouldn't offend your mother, grandmother, aunt, sister it would be acceptable.  Now, if you had a really open relationship with any these people you may have to curb the compliment.  Compliments on shoes, hair, smile are usually safe ones.

When you realized that this person is true to you and you enjoy being around them.  They treat you with respect and love and they do the things that no one else would do for you.

Tricky Q!  One that I would ignore if I did not have a great deal of respect for the Asker.\n\nAs for personal insults and compliments--well, that's too personal.  Even given the anonymity of Y!A.  Especially given the brazen anonymity of Y!A.  To share them with you publicly would be an insult to your sensitivity; to share them with you privately would be a compliment to your sensitivity.  As priests, psychiatrists, and parents know, confidentiality is a compliment and public disclosure is an insult.  \n\nSo to generalize--and generalize only--my worst personal insults were experienced as a child or adolescent, and I am still too bitter about them and their effect upon me to expose you to my hostility, probably even unforgivable hatred.  Did I retaliate in kind?  Oh, most certainly I would have if I could have.  But years and so many sensitive others later I hope one can become an adult who attempts to protect other children and adolescents from similar suffering.\n\nMy best compliment by far was when the woman I love loved me in return and agreed to become my wife.  For love is the greatest compliment, and mutual submission the highest praise.  Beyond that, compliments are merely words and to repeat them would be to expose hearers to a false sense of pride and egotism that I could not muster.  In other words, I can't remember any such compliments that didn't seem to me to be exaggerations.\n\nNow, let's proceed to a much more important dimension of your question: public insults to a people and public compliments to our humanity.\n\nThe greatest insult I can think of is when political leaders (or would-be leaders) lie and lie and lie and spin and spin and spin and expect us (like the masses who responded to Hitler and his minions) to accept what they say because they repeat it over and over again, regardless of its truth--even when it is obviously and unashamedly untrue and irrational.  You are all fools, they seem to say, and we can treat you like fools and still manipulate you to follow us docilely.  Public media--reporters, commentators, editors, reviewers--who simply pass along the lies and the spins not only insult their readers; they accept the grossest insult of all to their own intelligence, honesty, and sense of responsibility.  It would not be difficult to name any number of contemporary politicians guilty of such insults.  It would not be easy to name very many among the media who have refused to accept such insults but have even emphasized them.\n\nTruth tellers, especially those who trust us to hear and understand unpleasant truths, compliment us mightily.  Like, yes, Edward R. Murrow and Bill Moyers and Keith Olbermann and, oh yes, even Molly Ivins.  \n\nBut the greatest compliment of all is that of artists who trust someone out there somewhere to receive and respond genuinely to the work they have thrown themselves into: poets and composers, musicians and actors, choreographers and dancers, painters and sculptors, orators and essayists, storytellers and singers.  \n\nWhen Gustav Mahler gave strangers his Resurrection Symphony, when Sylvia Plath wrote "Black Rook in Rainy Weather," when Leontyne Price sang night after night and Mikhail Baryshnikov leapt time after time, when Martin Luther King spoke and Dame Judith Anderson read her lines, they complimented those whom they did not know--strangers in the night--but whom they trusted with their efforts.  Bravo!  \n\nOur applause cannot compliment their artistry as sincerely and as vigorously as their work compliments our humanity.
