You wanna know what i’m sick of? No? Okay, well grab a fuzzy blanket and a mug of hot chocolate with those mini marshmalllows and take a sit so I can tell you anyway.
I’m sick of being told that I am cute.
You read that right.
Woah woah woah, there, stop rolling your eyes and let me explain myself before you start calling me hurtful names like “stuck up brat-face.” That’s hurtful.
Lately, the gentlemen i’ve been interacting with seem to feel that by paying me such a compliment entitles them to something. I shall now illustrate with a real-life example.
Boy: You’re cute.(:
Me: Thank you.
Boy:…. No, really, though.
Me: Thanks.
What up with the “no, really though.” In no way did I indicate that I disagreed with his calling me cute or discounted the compliment. I simply accepted it with a gracious “thank you.” Punctuation included, and intended to indicate that I was through with that topic of discussion.
“No, really, though.” Uhh, okay. Thanks, again. I really don’t know what more you want from me here, nor do I really have anywhere to carry our conversation.
I can’t help but feel like I owe these gentlemen my attention when they’ve paid me such a compliment. Even if I show no interest, I can’t help but feel like I OWE it to them for telling me that they thought I was cute. And that’s messed up. Maybe I’m the one with the problem, but i’d be willing to bet that you gentlemen of the universe could come to a consensus that when you pay a lady such a gracious compliment, you’re expecting a little something in return.
It shouldn’t be that way, though. This gentleman sought me out, not the other way around. I am not obligated to reciprocate anything.
In summary, yes, I do enjoy being complimented on my cuteness. Who doesn’t?! But do people even severely compliment each other anymore, or does everyone have a hidden agenda?
Help me in my fight against cynicism.

He just thinks your cute. Really though. Haha. You make me giggle. I’d say if he felt the need to repeat himself, he really just couldn’t stop himself thinking about how cute he thought you were. Just accept the compliment. Sounds like he liked you.
