I want to give a girl a compliment

[Vegitto]

Today, in class, a girl I kinda like looked nice (for those of you who remember, it's Psycho/Suicide Girl. I think she had therapy or something). Nicer than usual. She was all made-up (you know, make-up), with lipstick and all, and her eyes and shi[/i]t. She also wore a nice dress. You know what I'm saying, she just looked nice.

Now, I could just say:"Gee, you looked nice today." And she'd say:"Thank you. Buttsecks? (<-- joke 😉)" Ideally, that's how it'd go. Unfortunately, women are emotional trainwrecks, and I think it'd go a lot more like this:

Me:"Gee, you looked nice today."
Her:"Oh yeah? What do you mean by that? That I don't look nice, usually? You think I'm pathetic, don't you? You think I need compliments from you? Think I'm fishing for compliments, eh? I hate you."

Or, it could go like this:
Me:"Wow, you looked alright today. Did you go to a party or something?"
Her:"What? You think I only want to look nice when there's people? You think I care? It's none of your goddamned bussiness. I hate you."

Of course, I could say this:
Me:"Hey, new make-up? It looks okay."
Her:"What? Okay? That was a $100 mascara I was wearing. It was a [INSERT MASCARA BRAND HERE], you prick. You don't notice anything, do you? I hate you."

And lastly, I could say this:
Me:"Hey, wow, you got new clothes or something? They looked nice. Are they [INSERT BRAND OF CLOTHES HERE, I DON'T FUC[/i]KING KNOW]?"
Her:"No. No, they're not. You don't know anything. Get out of my life. I hate you."

See? There's no win-situation I can think of 🙁. I need your help. I really do.


I suck at life.

Oh, I forgot to add that. She's never, ever alone. I'd have to do it over MSN/AIM/phone (phone is not a good option, I think.)

:laugh:

Just tell her she looks nice genuinely, smile, & walk away.
Then she can't say anything back 😛

You overanalyze things to the point of insanity and wonder why you cannot get a girl?

And wtf are you thinking by complimenting a girl you refer to as "psycho/suicide girl." That is what is called a red flag.

No.

You don't do that over the phone/MSN d00d...
If you can't do it in person, then don't.

No, you guys called her that. I made a thread about it a while ago. She wanted to kill herself and asked me if I'd miss her. You guys she was psycho/in love with me/an attention whore.

Well if we said she was a nutcase you SHOULD stay away. Why would you want to be involved with a headcase?

agreed. if you have to ask how to compliment a girl and stil wonder why you can't get a girl, you have problems bigger than you even know.

Stop overanalyzing the situation. If she takes offense, it isn't your problem, it is hers.

A firm open palm pat on the bottom and saying "you look good baby" is the best complement for a woman. If you cannot do that then just honk you car horn and yell "WooooooHoooooooo Hey baby!!"

I'm not sure what I'm in in America. I'm 15, but I get stuff that's Calc 1 level.

Because word is, she's had therapy, and I've always kinda liked her. She's nice. Except for some moments, but no-one's perfect, right?

Well, I've always had situations like I mentioned. There's always bitching about me doing something wrong about complimenting someone. Should've said it sooner, later, louder, softer, personally (ie, 1-1), in public, shouldnt've complimented this but that, etc. etc.

Problem is, I'm still kinda afraid she'll kill herself.

Yup. You posted it before I could. If you're analyzing it this much OP then you already blew your chance and no matter what you say it's going to sound stilted at this point. Relax, wait till she looks good on another day, and just give her a genuine compliment

is this a parody?

Maybe. But if she'll look like that every day from now on (I think that might happen), isn't this a missed shot? IMO, it's better to shoot and miss than to not shoot at all.

No.

This has to be taking the biscuit.

Just walk past her and say "hey [insert name], you look great" and smile.

If you have her on MSN and she later says "thanks for the compliment" then good, if not, there's nothing lost!

But won't that make her think that I really dig her?

I do. She's always with a whooole bunch of girls from other classes, and if she'd take my compliment wrong (see any of the situations I sketched), and gets angry with me, she'll probably set all of those girls up against me and I'll never get laid 🙁.

Do you ? If it's true there's no reason to hide it from her.

Not really. I like her, and I could see myself in a relationship with her, but it's not like I only look at her.
