Her: I like your eyes.

Me: OMG really!? That means so much to me. I want to spend the rest of my life watching over you with these eyes. They are a mirror to my soul, which I submit to you unconditionally.

Phew, here comes the advanced stuff.

You must be fabulously good-looking (no homo), because that's abysmal game for 99 percent of the male population. It's basically the worst conceivable way to take a compliment--to give it right back to the girl who, even if she's an ogre, probably gets more compliments in a week than you do in an entire year. To make matters worse, you add a cringe-worthy "dear" and ensure us that if "the smile is there" it lands. I don't need to witness this to know exactly what that looks and sounds like, in a dozen different readings. I've done thousands of approaches, and witnessed still more. There's no permutation where this comes off as good game. The only explanation is that girls forgive this because of your looks.

If I knew you on a personal-level, I would probably delete your number from my phone if you said that while we were out together. The only worse thing you could do--while staying within the bounds of the law--is to make some dumb remark to an undeserving 5 about how women like to be dominated in the bedroom, apropos of nothing.

That's not just my personal opinion; I guarantee you that would be the overwhelming consensus from anyone on the forum with a double-digit green number next to his username.

I never handle compliments well because girls have historically (as a teen) tried to friend zone me after it. So from about 16 onwards I said "Yeah whatever" and continued the conversation before the compliment. They eat that shit up.

In Japan you can tone down the flippancy a little and say "Ah sou desu ka?" then continue whatever you were saying before i.e.- "Jya kou u..."

I think it depends on the situation, probably I was over thinking it ( just had my red pill 9 month ago ) but I tried the "ah thanks" reply and it worked well, probably if the situation is playful I could go for " Ah sou desu ka".

"I didn't ask."

I said this once though and pretty much instantly felt bad. I just give minimal acknowledgement and say "Thanks" (not "Thank you", "Thanks") and move on.

"Thank you" (while showing a friendly, sincere smile).

I usually just say either, "stop it I'm gonna blush," totally deadpan, or an overly exagerrated "awwwww shucks...."

Works well for me.

I say " flattery will get you everywhere." Smirk.
