How often do you compliment a stranger?

I don't think there was anything wrong with you complimenting her, or other strangers! And I'm complimenting you just for complimenting others!! the world could use more nice people like yourself

I also like being complimented--by anyone--but I never compliment a stranger unless it's something that really strikes my attention. I don't pay much attention to strangers, and I can only remember two instances in the past six or so months when I have complimented someone I didn't know. Oddly, both were in the grocery store. There was this girl with bright, bright blue eyes and long, straight black hair and this smooth white skin, and I said I liked her hair. Turns out, she was naturally a blonde, but she looked nordic or something. She was really nice and didn't take it as a lesbian thing or whatever. I think it made her feel good. The other person was this cashier with a strong, very charming british accent. I complimented her, and then later, a group of people at my office got into this conversation about the cashier; they all knew her and were saying how funny and nice she is. On a whim, next time I was at the grocery, I told her that lots of people I work with were saying they love shopping there b/c she's so nice. I don't know if she believed me, but really, they'd been going on and on about her, so I felt obligated to tell her.

Well I followed this lady around the grocery store and must have told her I liked her dress three times and she called security and I was kicked out of the store.

So I only ever give one compliment.

I try to compliment at least two people per day. Smile and the world smiles back!!

Well, I am careful; being female, I compliment other

ladies on their clothing,shoes,nails whatever I think is

pretty or nice, but I learned in job training to say it only

"once" or it can be "misinterpreted."

yeah i feel the same way. im always telling people to have a nice day and complimenting them. i feel that it makes me feel better along with the other person.

didnt your mom teach you not to talk to stangers...I dont talk to people i dont know..its weird really, I dont know why. I hate being around lots of people and if i have nothing to say to some one ( wich i ussuaully dont ) Im pretty quiet unless im drunk..but you cant count that because then its just retarded sputtering..lol to answer you though...the world is a crap hole thats going to hell in a hand basket real fast. you have to look out for things like serial killers, random shootings random rapes...its hell man..it sucks..I cant wait to die....

Well no wonder she rolled her eyes you're not supposed to talk to strangers lol it's viewed as weird and you don't know who they are (and vice versa). Weren't you ever taught that?

I don't compliment strangers precisely for that reason- they might think that I am hitting on them.

I like to sat nice things to people... like today when I went to the gas station I said to the lady in front of me in line that I liked her purse... It really was cute... Isay little things like that.
