Surprising Compliment Today

Sapphiregal — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 18:35:03 GMT

I was at Wal-Mart doing my self checkout. Just paying no attention to what was going on around me. There happened to be a man facing me at another self checkout. He finished before me and as he walked by me on his way out, he stopped and said "not flirting with you, but, you are beautiful". Imagine my shock! I am no spring chicken. It absolutely made my day and that is what I said to him. Amazing what a simple compliment can do to lift your spirits.

SapphireGal,

In this time of ugliness, how wonderful to be complimented for one's beauty. So glad the man had the courage to voice his kind thought.

@Sapphiregal I can't see you and I don't know you but I'll bet there are a lot of people in your life who would agree with that gentleman.

Enjoy your gift. Compliments are precious gifts. More so when we become seasoned. I believe its more than just about the physical. You must have a special spirit radiating about you.

That was so nice of him to give you such a sweet compliment, and I am sure it was nicely received.😊

I don't want to burst your bubble because yes I'm sure you are beautiful and it is nice to hear.

On 2 separate occassions roughly a year apart I've been at my local walmart and the same man approached me said "I see you aren't wearing a wedding ring. I like your look so if you aren't spoken for..." I was totally wierded out both times.

This man is at least 25 years older than me. If I've been to the gym I don't wear my wedding ring because I don't want to loose it so believe me I wasn't looking my best. Now I just feel that Walmart is full of creeps.

Well, you burst my bubble when I read your post. It wasn't called for.

What happened to you and the OP are two totally different occurances.

Walmart is not full of creeps. Mean post.

@jeanlake that's such a nice way of saying OLD! 😂

@Sapphiregal what a wonderful compliment! I'm sure he was right!

You just be striking for him to have said that. Never has happened to me, nor would I expect it!

Well, I don't think in my case it was a "pick up line". It was merely a nice man giving this gal a nice compliment. I could tell he meant it no other way.
