If a guy says you are pretty, when is it flattering and when is it bothersome?

I know girls like reinforcement that they are attractive but they also complain about guys obnoxiously hitting on them.

I've been shy about giving girls compliments most of my life for the latter reason but I am trying to overcome this shyness because it isn't working out for me. Yesterday at the mall I told a girl she was really pretty. She said thank you and looked down and smiled a little bit but didn't appear swept off her feet or anything. Did I do good?

Also any other advice for the future because it felt great like a weight off my back to be honest like that and I would hope to continue in the future.

    What you did is just fine, but if she doesn't show interest (conversation) then go on your way. :-)

    If she's a b*tch about your compliment, then, well, she's a b*tch. :-) She will probably go tell all of her friends about how some guy was drooling all over her (because she's insecure and pathetic - even if she IS gorgeous) and all of her little follower friends will have a giggle at your expense. Don't let it get to you.
