How do you respond to this compliment to start a conversation?

About 3 or 4 times a year I get complimented on my eyelashes from women. Before, I used to say "What? What's that?" because I would confuse eyelash, eyebrows, and eyelids. Now, I just say thanks because I have no clue as to what else to say. It's a tricky subject because I don't know what the other person is thinking. Maybe they think I groom myself, including my eyelash. I don't. I'm as scruffy (but clean) as they come. But now, I have an older colleague who complemented me and she's someone I had a very bad first encounter with last year (She came into the cafeteria as I called a coworker a greedy whore because he claimed to have had sex with 6 women in one night). Naturally, I said "Thanks" but I think this may be an opportunity to restart our relationship but I have no idea where to take this. I know nothing about eyelashes but I want to get to know her more personally. I'm on good terms with all the senior people but she's the exception. Any ideas?

I get compliments on mine also. Most likely you have long eyelashes since that's what women want..

I would just say thanks and not over think it. If she hated you I don't think she would have made the comment..

"My balls tingle every time someone says that to me"

Then talk about the weather. Bitches love it when you talk about the weather :thumbsup:

I used to get complimented on my long eyelashes.....and my eyes....I still get compliments on my eyes...depending on who I still use the standard answer I used when I was in college because it always resulted in some very entertaining situations...."Thank You, would you like one?" as I hand them my left eye which is glass. Sometimes I just tap on it with a key.

Thanks, nice mustache btw. Are you Catholic?

Fix't. :biggrin:

Tell her thanks and then ask her if she wants to see what you have done to your ball hair. If that doesn't work, talk about the weather. I hear bitches love the weather! ;)

Seriously? Maybe say thanks and then say something about how others have said the same thing in the past and that at first it kinda embarrassed you (modesty!) and then you figured that what they hey, it's a compliment and you should take it as such. Where to (and if you can) go from there is up to how she responds, your reading of it (go/nogo) and your followup (if go).

If she indicates nogo then tell her to have a nice day and that you hope a piano falls on her. ():)

"Thanks. But actually I'm not gay"?

That ship has sailed. Opportunity lost. Now I need to think of what to say next time wrt this subject or how to start a related one or something. Guess thread title is misleading.

"thanks, wanna get naked and do things to each other?"

If she says no, you say "fucking tease" and leave

She wants to stab you in the eye but not ruin your incredible lashes. You should work on them so they are even more glorious.

Are you a fucking camel or something? Maybe that's their polite way of not saying anything negative about the rest of you. :D

When they say "Oh what pretty eye lashes you have".

You say "The better to tickle your V with my lady".

You realize they have tried to find anything else to complement but have failed to find anything else but your eyelashes?

Why would you say this more than once?
