I think I did something VERY wrong....damn, I can't get this RIGHT!

Maybe I am gay after all....

I have never gotten mad at a man for complimenting me and it always makes me smile. I appreciate it more if it is an in passing kind of thing and not a pick up line. If she got pissed at you for saying she was beautiful, she has issues. Don't take it to heart.

I have found that in dealing with women who know they are attractive it's best not to make any comment at all. These comments are for those (and those of us) who fall into category b.) above. If you are genuinely attracted to someone that you want to date, treat them like your best friend. You wouldn't tell your best friend how handsome he is.....I don't know, maybe you would, regardless treat her as an equal and DO NOT put her on a pedestal.

I'm sometimes frightened at how much we think alike.

All of this. All. Of. It.

You're rare and special.

It happens quite often and I've found that if you're compelled to say it, follow up with a genuinely appreciated detail such as complimenting her smile or eyes. Then walk away. Otherwise, you can get into a bit trouble.

Experience creates awareness and understanding.

I've been dating around a bit after the demise of my time with the Eva Longoio look-alike.

Last Saturday I'm on a first-date with a lady. She's 5'10", former B-level model (her words, not mine) and absolutely gorgeous, fun, witty and didn't take herself or the stares everywhere we went too seriously.

We started with sushi then went to the Ritz-Carlton in New Orleans to listen to a swing band. The drummer is a buddy of mine and, most importantly, an M3 owner and I introduced her to him as well as the other band members.

Once we manage to get a seat on a couch and the band starts, people begin dancing. There is a couple on the floor who have clearly been to dance lessons because they are cutting it up quite nicely and we both commented on their prowess. When the lights come up a bit, I realize that it's one of my business partners whom I've NEVER seen without a suit on...it's kinda surreal.

After they finish dancing, I beckon them over and introduce him to my date he says: "It's so great to meet you, I've heard so much about you and he wasn't exaggerating about how beautiful you are, at all. You're a vision." Or something to that effect. I'm internally cringing because this is our first date. She says to him, "This is just our first date but thanks for the compliment...I'll have a little chat with him later about this other woman, thanks for the intel!" We all got a good laugh about it and continued chatting until the band started again.

She's super cool...a possible keeper.

Cheers-mk

Attractive, witty and personality to boot? Where does one find such a lady?

corollary: at least in my experience prettier girls are better to deal with than less-lucky girls
and besides, its fun to make eye contact with someone and smile and watch them smile and both of you continue with your days, makes you feel good and (hopefully haha) her day too everyone wins

I don’t even pretend to know a straight comment from a euphemism...

I find euphemisms everywhere I look... it can be embarrassing when they’re not.
