I was at the mall with 2 friends last night and this boy about 13 came up to me and said he thought I was pretty 😍 I could see he was really shy about telling me that. One of the girls I was with told him to go back to his crib which just seemed so mean? He just was like forget it. I felt bad for him and told him thank you 😊 He suddenly smiled and said I was welcome! My friend asked me why I was bothering with him? I told her I wasn't bothering with him but he just gave me a compliment and he was obviously really shy about telling me that. I asked her why be mean to him he didn't do anything except say I was pretty. And saying thank you to him made him smile. He literally didn't want anything else but to tell me that. He was so sweet. Her point was I made it seem like I liked him as a boyfriend! When did being nice to someone mean that you wanted to date that person? I was like no, but for him to come up to a stranger and tell them he thinks they are pretty must have been difficult for him to do. I thought what a nice kid to have the courage to say that! And saying thanks to him I could tell just made his day!! I remember seeing cute guys when I was younger and wanted to tell them I thought they were cute. He didn't ask anything sexual just that I was pretty. Would you have been mean to this boy or just say thank you? I guess my point is; I could have been mean to him like my friend was and made him feel bad for giving me a compliment, but why? He said I was pretty and I said thank you we both felt good 👍 And next time he might not be so scared to give someone a compliment?
From a guy’s perspective, it did take a lot of courage for him to say that. You definitely did a good thing by thanking him and your friend was probably jealous. Lol I’ve had very young girls call me cute and very, very old women call me cute and I can’t emphasize VERY old enough! The least I could do is say, “thank you”. I just wish I could get the 20 yr olds to say it,

Was he cute? That was really rude that the other girl told him to go back to his crib. He will never forget that.

Yes, one of my friend's younger brother would constantly try to flirt with me when he was a teenager.
That’s my problem these days. Almost everything is seen as sexual, everything is sexualized. How do you live and think that every sweet and soft gestures is sexual, it’s perverted. My brain is tired. 🥱
Yes your friend's response was not good, but don't think that he literally didn't want to come up to just compliment you.
He did want to dateLegit some random 8 year old said that to me yesterday 🤣
Good job. The girl who was mean won't be asked by cute guys she likes but you will. Karma.
