Compliments

[terracinque]

Nobody knows how to give a good compliment anymore. "You're a nice person" or "You're smart" or "You're funny" are nice to hear, I suppose, but how much thought went into them? We're all unique individuals, so we deserve unique strokes, I'm thinking.

I bring this up because I received the most amazing compliment just a week or so ago.

My friend Pam and I went out to eat up in Buckhead. We ate, talked about movies, hashing, the places we've lived. She gave me some advice about women and I helped her with a situation with a guy.

The next day she sent me an email which included the following line:

"It's very easy to spend time with you, Glenn."

Such a simple statement, yet so warm and flattering, and it practically glows with sincerity. I'm still giddy.

Well, the sight of your name in my email box gives me goosebumps.

Thanks, honey bun, but I really wasn't fishing for compliments. If my entry got any comments at all, I was hoping y'all might share unique compliments you've received your own selves.

I had someone tell me once that I could make any situation fun, and if they could only invite one person to a party, it would be me.

It really made my day.

You are consistently one of my favorite SDMB posters

And you like almost all the same stuff I like. So there. It's a compliment and a sort of half compliment. I saw this livejournal when I was digging for your email address and couldn't resist a peek at your diary.
