What should I say whenever a girl tells me that I have beautiful eyes? I've never been able to think of anything clever enough to come back with to a genuine compliment?

I've been told this a million times my whole life, but always go blank or say the cliche', "Thanks". I was at the grocery store a moment ago and got told the same thing from the checker at the counter. She said "they look like the ocean" or something to that degree. I wasn't really attracted to her so i just said "yeah, i know".

I had that question too awhile ago- I had been receiving that compliment a lot.

My standard response now is

"That's what my mom always told me." *grin*. "What's your name?"

"Yes, the window to my soul leads to a gentle pasture where sheep graze quietly next to a crystal clear waterfall, the kind of place you want to get lost in...(i'd go on for like 5 minutes)" (you've got to look off in the distance and get lost in the moment)

"Did you just come up with that?"

"No, but i'm tired of just saying 'thanks'. What'd you think?"

Continue conversation...

Any comment about a physical feature is NOT a compliment. You had no choice in the matter, you were born with those eyes. The key is to NOT come up with a wise-ass answer because you don't want to slip into an approval seeking mindset, you need to move towards a chooser mindset. If you were to read into their comment, you'll find that what they're saying is that they find you attractive.

You could say "Oh I get that a lot" and follow up with "What's your name?" or even "Thanks...(pause)...what's your name?" and start a conversation.

A smartass comment to a compliment sounds pretty arrogant to me. A simple thank you is always a good path to take.

I disagree with a simple thank you. It won't keep the conversation going, you kill it with just a thank you. I'd respond "you're jealous"

Whenever a woman tells me that I have beautiful eyes I just look her straight in the eyes, and smile.

say thank you, then move the conversation forward on another thread, duh

and your response is trash. the girl gives you an IOI in the form of a genuine complement. you should be rewarding her to encourage her to keep the IOI's coming. a simple thank you does this. your wannabe c&f line doesn't

I don't get compliments on my eyes, I get them on my eyelashes. I still haven't come up with a witty comeback for that one.

Hot Chica: You have really pretty eyes!

You: They're not real...

HC: What?

You: What do you look like? (Stare off into distance)

HC: Shut up!

You: You have a pretty voice. Oh well...

P.S. This is just a joke. All noobs reading this, don't listen to me. As many have said before, a simple "thank you" is enough. DJing doesn't revolve around pickup lines or canned phrases. It revolves around become a better person, and truly knowing that you're the best.

I have't read all of the replies but

GUY YOU DON'T NEED 'COMEBACKS'

Just be honest a genuine. A sincere thank you is probably the best reply.

IF YOU TRY TO BE ****Y AND FUNNY WHEN SHE IS BEING SINCERE IT WILL SCREW IT UP!

I've done that way to many times back when I massively overrated ****yfunny and thought it was the answer to everything.

Say what you are thinking at the time.

"Wow... thank you, I don't know what to say"

BEING HONEST AND SPONTANEOUS THE BEST ANSWER

Although if she is in a playful mood or is saying it as a joke ****y/funny is GREAT!
