That\u2019s what you\u2019re doing when you brush off a real compliment.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a talent or a skill that a man compliments, then receive the compliment graciously or you brand yourself as rude and disrespectful as well as insecure. Those responses say that you aren\u2019t worth the confidence or value that the other person has for you.<\/p>\n<p>Before you reject a compliment, stop and think about how he will feel after hearing your rejection. If he says, \u201cThat\u2019s the best cheese omelet I\u2019ve ever tasted\u201d and you fail to accept his compliment, then you\u2019re saying he\u2019s stupid and doesn\u2019t know his own tastes.<\/p>\n<p>Even if he stumbles in trying to give you a compliment, don\u2019t embarrass him by making fun of it or acting his opinion isn\u2019t important. If you know that you have problems accepting a compliment, then don\u2019t wing it.<\/p>\n<p>Decide on a basic response and use that until you feel ready to branch out. If you just smile and say, <strong>\u201cThank you very much\u201d<\/strong> &#8211; that\u2019s all you need to do. The person who gave the compliment can feel satisfied that his effort to uplift you was well received.<\/p>\n<p>Smile whenever he offers you a compliment and try not to look uncomfortable. Don\u2019t just awkwardly change the subject because you\u2019re blushing and aren\u2019t used to accepting compliments.<\/p>\n<p>You can use the compliment to start up some new conversations. If he mentions how he loves your decorating style in your home, thank him and then talk about where you found some unusual pieces or what you inherited from a relative.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t always accept a compliment and then immediately return one to him. That makes you seem insincere. \u201cI love your outfit!\u201d \u201cThanks, I love yours, too.\u201d Find appropriate times to conjure up your own compliments for him and he\u2019ll appreciate them that much more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a man offers you a genuine compliment and you blow it off, you\u2019re saying something very unattractive about yourself.
