I thought I had posted in the thread not just voted on the poll doh thats what I get for being sleepy and distracted.

I prefer my compliments in private. At work I sometimes get called stuff like "charming young man" and the like by old women and I just smile and say "well some of us have got it all " however sometimes I get stuff like and this is a quote from a woman I served "Wow, you don't like foot ball and yet don't mind doing sport and you keep fit. Gods gift to women is what you are...the perfect guy" I got highly embarassed by this comment but after a small "wth just roll with it" thought I simply came right back out with a witty comment. She wasn't being sarcastic either which made that worse!!

Personal compliments outside of work are best kept private because when a girl talks to me and says stuff like "you sound like hugh grant but better" I end up blushing like mad and not quite knowing what to say.
