When you compliment strangers, are you ever attracted to some of them? When strangers compliment you, do you ever think they may be attracted to you?

Question

BobbieBoy666 · Accepted Answer

Yes, it's completely normal to sometimes feel a spark of attraction towards a stranger you compliment, or to consider that a stranger who compliments you might be attracted to you; this is often due to the positive interaction and the natural human tendency to find people who show interest appealing.

Key points to consider:
Positive reinforcement:
Compliments are inherently positive and receiving one can make you feel good about yourself, which can lead to a more favorable impression of the person giving the compliment, potentially including a hint of attraction.
Non-verbal cues:
Beyond words, body language and tone of voice can also signal attraction, so even a seemingly simple compliment might be accompanied by subtle cues that could be interpreted as interest.
Context matters:
The nature of the compliment and the situation can influence how you perceive it. A genuine compliment about someone's style or talent might feel different from a more overtly flirtatious remark.

Important distinction:
Attraction vs. Action: Just because you might feel a slight attraction towards someone who compliments you doesn't necessarily mean they are actively trying to pursue you romantically.

Sometimes if I find her absolutely beautiful to my eyes , but not all the time , when a stranger compliments me , I can usually tell if they are just being friendly or if they are actually checking me out by the way their body language is around me , so it just depends

The answer is no to me, I compliment sometimes without knowing that i’m doing. Sometimes even if I see someone beautiful, or good at something, or dress well, I sometimes just stare at them just a little bit, without complimenting them. I don’t want anyone to think I’m flirting or like them, or ridicule them if I do.

I don’t usually compliment strangers that I find attractive. I just give out compliments to anyone casually with no secret meaning behind it. And I never assume that someone is attracted to me if they give me a compliment, unless the compliment is towards my body.

Some people are just nice. I don't get it why people jump to the conclusion and get into a fantasy world just because someone complement you or holds the door for you they like you or have a crush on you.

HungTexan · Answer

I think compliments are nice whether given or received. Sometimes I’m attracted to the women I compliment, and I feel like sometimes women are attracted to me based on their compliments.

Sometimes yes, more often no. You can compliment without there being any sign of attraction.

Account · Answer

I have not been attracted to anyone prior to getting to know them, so the answer is no.
