Anyone can say “you’re pretty.” That’s generic. The magic is taking a compliment and flipping it into connection.
When someone tells you they love your smile, don’t just say thanks. Drop something back that opens the door:
-
“Appreciate it, what’s making you smile today?”
-
“Thanks. Dangerous weapon, I know.”
-
“Oh, you noticed? Bold of you to survive it.”
Compliments are icebreakers, not end goals. Turning them into conversations keeps the energy alive and makes it clear: you’re not just flattered, you’re engaged.
