I love compliments. When someone compliments me, I
instantly feel attractive and Sexy. One afternoon in Dallas, I was
hurrying into Dillards to do some shoe shopping. Just as I was entering
the store, a woman was passing me leaving. I smiled at her. I didn't
know her, but I think because I was so excited about my hunt for shoes,
I was in a good mood. Anyway, just after she passed by me, I heard
someone talking and turned around wondering if maybe they were talking
to me. It was her. The woman I just passed was walking towards me. As I
made eye contact with her, she said, with emphasis on each word, "You
look great."
Then I watched as she gestured with her hand, while
saying, "From the top, to the bottom, your complete outfit, You, it's
just great." I think I was in some state of shock. I didn't know this
woman. Naturally, I liked hearing what she said, but I was skeptical.
What were her motives? Then it hit me, and I smiled. What was I
thinking? This was just a compliment. I giggled to myself and said,
"thank you" feeling a little uncomfortable. She was talking a lot then,
and I'm not even sure what else she said. To be honest, I was elated by
the compliment from this complete stranger. As I calmed, I heard her
apologize for stopping me, and I suddenly felt like I should respond,
so I mumbled back, "No, it's okay." Then, wanting to make sure she knew
how flattered I was and how much I appreciated what she said, I added,
"That was really nice of you to say something," and I thanked her
again. Yes, it was strange. I was totally surprised by her candor, but
I liked everything she had said.
Although she stopped me, it was
okay. I was still finding it hard to believe that she had taken time
out of her busy day to say something nice to me. Not only did she
notice something about somebody else; she was bold enough to approach
me and say something. As we parted, I walked through the store with
some sort of endorphin explosion inside. I bought a lot of shoes that
day. I was feeling happy, and shopping was more fun than ever.
Receiving a compliment feels incredibly good. Today, I would like to
encourage you to take the time to compliment somebody you love. It's
going to make them happy and the happier they are, the happier they'll
want to make you. You don't have to go to the mall and walk up to a
stranger. It's easier than that. Just look around the house. Here in
the south, complimenting somebody, especially somebody you love, is a
sure way to make them feel Sexy.
