Question for the Ladies

I saw a woman in the supermarket in my neighbourhood today whom I found extremely attractive. She was very well dressed with wore black nylons which just drive me crazy.

Here's the question: Is it appropriate for a man to compliment a woman in a situation as I just described, or do women think it's just some jerk trying to hit on her?

I wanted to pay her a compliment but that little voice inside me told me to back off. I realize how you word the compliment is important and I didn't want to pick her up (sure buddy!), I only wanted to offer her a compliment on her appearance. Is that appropriate?

This may sound like a stupid question but I have been married most of my adult life and only in the last 6-months have I found myself alone since my wife and I split and these situations are not something I dealt with in the past because I was married.

Any advice from the ladies would be greatly appreciated.

Ultimately, what are you? Are you ONLY trying to compliment her, or or are you a jerk trying to hit on her? Really it doesn't matter if you phrase it correctly and don't follow her into a back alley to deliver the compliment. That's a pretty specific compliment, though. Being in a supermarket, you might start by asking her a food question, but make sure it's not too easy, that's a giveaway. If you're interested in her that could be a good segue into another question: "That's a lovely perfume, what is it?" The compliment about the nylons might be a good question if you can keep her in conversation for more than 5-10 min. That could be an indication that she might be interested. But then again you could get slapped hard and be banned from that supermarket. You're in tough, good luck.

Thanks, my intent was not to try and pick her up but simply to pay her a compliment and, as Paige indicated, simply be on my way and the reason I ask the question of the ladies is because I'm unsure as to what a woman's response would be.

I always told my wife she looked great, and still do when I see her, but I've never said it to a stranger. I guess it's time I learned. Appreciate your input.

Chingada,

Unfortunately, people are different and have different things going on in their lives. 80% of women would apreciate the complement, 19% would think you were after something and walk away (maybe after telling you where to go) and 1% is a single mother who has lost all faith in men, she hasn't recieved a support cheque in three months, the kids are sick, her boss shit on her and she is waiting to explode on some asshole who makes an "inappropriate comment".

What are the odds, go for it! Ya can't let fear rule your life.

How about giving her a nice smile. If she's interested she'll smile back. Then make your move;)

Throw caution to the wind and go for it. If she's some stuck up blonde snob she'll either tell you to basicaly FO, or semi ignore you. In that case just walk away and ta-hell with her.

If she's nice you'll know it.

Don't get discouraged if she kinda diss's you. You may be the 141st guy to say something like that to her this day, she may be having a bad day, she may not be used to hearing things like that and not know how to respond, but I doubt this.

She may think "fuck!!! cant I even come into the supermarket with out some greasy jerk off hitting on me"

Get what I'm saying?!?!?!? It's your call.

Thanks to all for the advice. I think I'll use the famous freddylikesit line; "That's a very nice______. Well, have a good day."

If I ever see this woman again I'll let you know how I make out. Appreciate the input.

Chingada,
I think as long as you control your saliva (drool) escaping from all sides of your mouth when you attempt to seduce her with your compliment and your eyes aren't undressing her as you speak....
every pretty lady wants to hear how pretty she really is!

All women are different...but once I was going to my old office job, the sun was shining - one of those glorious Vancouver summer mornings where nothing can go wrong - and a guy waiting to cross the street turned to me, smiled, said, "You're beautiful". I smiled back, and we went our separate ways.

It made my day, my week, my month! It was obviously totally spontaneous, not creepy at all, and I still love the memory to this day - and wonder what he thought when I smiled back - I had a mouth full of braces!

I prefer to think he thought my braces were foxy ;)
