When you compliment someone in a friendly " you look nice today" manner. How does that come off to a girl?

[TylerSoFresh]

I compliment ladies every so often and they associate that with me trying to get at them. When a guy gives you a compliment , does that means he wants to automatically date you?

[Epiphanies]

Do I automatically assume that he wants to date me? Not at all.

To be honest, it depends.

My guy friends will tell me I look good sometimes, it means just that; I look good. Nothing else.

If there's someone who I think is romantically interested in me and has shown other signs of being attracted to me, I'll classify his comment as another sign that he wants to get with me.

If it's someone out on the street, it depends on the way he says it.

I've had guys who've casually complimented me and I've thanked them or smiled and moved on.

I've also had guys compliment me on the way I look and I've been able to tell that they've wanted to to initiate contact with me just by the tone of their voice or body language.

Generally, though, the consensus these days seems to be that if a guy compliments you, he wants to get with you. I don't really know why that is but I'm not surprised that some women think this way.

it all depends on the girl really and on the compliment.

If it's obviously something like "your boobs look amazing in that top"

she's gonna think- he loves me.

We think that anyways actually, no matter what you men say.

You guys have to make sure we know you don't like us that way.

It's hard work, I know, but it's hard for us too!

so basically be nasty if you don't want to date us. No way we're gonna think any different if you say something nice, automatically makes us think you would want to date us.

I hope this helps.

I usually just take it as a compliment or being friendly unless there's a reason that might lead me to suspect otherwise. But the statement in itself is not indicitive of 'trying to get at a girl' at all...

[micgirl]

I will take it as a compliment. But if I notice that a guy says that to every girl then I would think that he's a flirt but not necessary that he's trying to get with u.
