Search Results: does first time hurt

Corey Wayne and Doc Love both recommended to never compliment an attractive woman you just met about her looks. She hears it all the time and it will do nothing to raise her interest level. They do say to compliment her on what she does or something else.

When I was younger I used to compliment attractive women all the time. But it only worked if they ALREADY were very interested in me to begin with. It likely hurt my chances with girls who were on the fence. Made me less challenging and mysterious. They already hear that five times a day

So tonight I stopped by a tanning salon. The girl working by the counter was drop dead gorgeous but I was at least 10 years older than her. She did lock eye contact with for a solid moment though. When I walked in the spray tanning in room (which is next to the front counter) I started to take off my shirt. I then realized the doors weren’t closed. I quipped “it might be a good idea to shut these doors”. The hot girl heard it and laughed. After I was finished I asked for her name. She then asked for mine without me volunteering it right away.

I so wanted to tell her she was very attractive but I stopped myself because she was working in a public place. Next time I see her I’m going to try to start a conversation. If I get a good vibe from her I’ll ask if she’s seeing someone. If not I’ll ask for her number. But should I compliment her?
