I occasionally get compliments over the internet and here's what I think about it...after reading them:
I also can't help but wonder how many other ladies are sent the same or very similar message?...also, I wonder if these guys ever compliment girls in person...or if they only have the courage to do it at a computer screen that is miles away from the recipient???
Loving this, right?? Yeah, it made me smile...yeah, i'm flattered...and yeah, it made my day...but at the same time I was thinking, "why is it that I only get compliments like these via email messages from strangers??"
I guess what I'm getting at is this...I like compliments, who doesn't?! BUT, it's very important to me to know that they are genuine and from the heart. I can't stand meaningless compliments and "lines" if you will...from guys...that have been recycled and reused on every girl they come across...until one actually takes the bait. If it's not REAL, i'd rather not get one at all.
"I hate careless flattery, the kind that exhausts you in your effort to believe it." ~Wilson Mizner
As Dr. Seuss' Horton would say, "mean what you say and say what you mean." Am I overanalyzing again?? Yes.
The upside is that I'm inspired: I vow to make a conscious effort to pay a heartfelt compliment to someone every day...to a friend, a family member, co-worker, complete stranger.

yeah, uh uh,, you look uh nice,,,, didnt I say something like that the other night to YOU... IN PERSON???
yes, first reaction: sound effects. after some time to compose yourself: words/sentences. ha. thanks. i remember. but...it was probably canceled out by something said later. positive and negative cancel each other...it's math. :)
wow.. positive and negative huh??. hhaha
