I saw a post saying that men rarely get compliments and that maybe women should compliment them more often.
The next day, I told a guy at a coffee shop that I liked his jacket.
He took it as an invitation to keep talking, followed me out, and wouldn't leave me alone until I walked into a busy store.
It was a pretty quick reminder that the reason many women hesitate isn't because they're rude.
It's because not everyone hears a compliment as just a compliment.
