Are you good at complimenting people?

Sheepie @Sheepie (3112) • United States 14 Dec 08

rick_d I think it's harder to compliment someone that expects it than some that does something and you just see it and feel like complimenting them on it instead of being.....put on the spot or expected to give it.it's the feeling of wanting to give support

rick_d I really think it depends on circumstances.I think we have a couple of states here in the U.S. that it is legal.I really don't believe I have the right to condemn,judge or tell someone they can or can't do, when it has no bearing on my life especially when the...

rick_d Looking at it from a guys view I don't think you can teach him.for a guy you either are or aren't.guy's don't like to do things they don't feel comfortable doing.you could probably get him to pull your chair out, open the car door for you or maybe cook a...
