[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. To those who say learn to take a compliment, I have no issue with random compliments from men and women like you have great smile or hair. I get those from women and older men and reciprocate to others when appropriate and unintrusive. People seem to appreciate and I do too when getting such compliments.

This felt different and it was hard to convey that part in writing. First, he was a guy and he looked interested; maybe it was his gaze and tone. Second, yes he was a decent looking guy. I'm used to obviously leery and creepy guys saying such things, but this guy was fairly decent looking. He'd have no issue finding a date. That's why I was surprised he was using this as a pick up line. He seemed interested.

The comment about responding "I know" was funny. If only I were that bold! Instead  I just blush and turn the other way.[/quote]
I guess I don't understand what the problem was if it was a "pick up line". Couples have met in grocery stores, it's not just an urban legend. He wasn't threatening or inappropriate. He didn't push or try to pursue when you shower disinterest. Why the discussion as if he did something wrong?[/quote]

Everyone is not a creep, and everyone isn't "intruding on your time".  Give me a break.  How do you all think people met in the olden days before you could swipe left or right if you were interested?  At the store, the movies, at the bar, the club, etc.  Men (and women) had to put themselves out there and say something.  If he just left you alone after you said thanks, how is this creepy?  This is not the same thing as some guy calling you a stank bitch after you rejected his advances.  It's not, no matter what some "feminist" thinks.
