If a stranger were to pay you a compliment, what compliment would you most like it to be?

Something simple. Unexpected and simple, always wins out.

Like my smile? Maybe my shoes? Maybe that tie looks really good.

Or, of course, "I've seen you on this bus for the last month, and every morning I wished you would talk to me. I've been fantasising about you every day. I just had to talk to you"

Males need not apply.

When my family moved from Colorado to California, my first day as a 3rd grader at the new school a girl came up to me and said "You're cute!"

That's just about the only compliment I've received from a stranger, and it's a nice one, so that'd be a nice one to get again.

I'm wondering if this sort of thing might happen more often if I knew more strangers.

Something like: "I like your coat" or "You look happy today".

The funny thing is that if a compliment is too enthusiastic or flattering, you start to feel a bit weirded out. I do, anyway.

"Are you as friendly as you look?" is a good one.

Are you sure that wasn't a GIFT? :P

Anyway, from a stranger I prefer small compliments, not something like "YOU BLOW MY MIND AWAY" (over-exaggerated for this post)

Well, I couldn't just ask whether:

"Are you sure that wasn't a GIFTS?" - could I?

Sure you could. It only takes an extra letter.

EDIT: Verb must agree with subject in number.

Edit: "GIFT" Point has been made.

I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable getting any compliments whatsoever, in person. I don't interact easily.

Compliments I usually get are "Nice car!" or "Wow! Nice bod!".

That's about it.

I could be serious or not.

serious: "I like your glasses - where did you get'em?" (or something like that)

totally not serious: "i like that chicken-shaped-hat on your head!"

Hmmm. I know what you mean. Due to some personality flaw, I don't take well to recieving compliments. Usually I go red, and think they're trying to be ironic. The only person who could compliment me without my being paranoid doesn't.

A compliment that I'd like would be pretty simple. "You're cute, nice, or sweet" is always appreciate it. But my fav compliment that I've recieved was: "You're beautiful". and it wasn't that long ago. Though it always depends on the tone of voice of the person who says it.

A multiple choice comliment? Perhaps I should try that. "You're extremely attractive OR blindingly intelligent OR a really nice person OR unfortunately reminiscent of cauliflower. Take your pick!"

I don't like compliments that much myself, though. If you really think I'm a swell guy, there's no need to say it. A little cash will do nicely.

—Alorael, who strangely rarely gets either compliments or cash. Maybe he's too intimidatingly attractive, intelligent, nice, and reminiscent of cauliflower.

"You're beautiful" is very nice to hear now and then, as is sweet, cute, pretty, nice... It's only unsettling when the person is too enthusiastic, or says it several times within a relatively small amount of time.

The best compliment I could receive? I would love it if someone told me I was the best leader in lindy or swing that they'd ever had... I'm used to "you're so nice", "you always make me smile", "you're cute", that kind of thing, and I wouldn't mind some positive comments regarding my piano- or frisbee-playing or singing, but I think a dancing compliment would mean the most to me.

Well, for me, just "Hi, ben, you're really nice" works quite well.

...quit laughing. I am.
