    I've been told I'm gorgeous, very very attractive, very good looking and so on, but the compliment that melted my heart was when a woman told me my penis was so big she couldn't walk properly for a week.

    This wasn't a direct compliment, but it made me feel like a million Euros.

    It's a Friday night and myself and a couple of others are in a nightclub. Now, I'm no Brad Pitt - I'm a bit overweight and I just might be the worst dancer in the whole of Dublin. That being said, I'm also not ugly - I'm 6'4 and a zero-f*cks policy on the dancefloor, combined with a bit of height, is quite appealing to the opposite sex when they're p*ssed. Well it was to this girl; a five-foot nothing, slim, black-haired beauty whose big beautiful eyes could melt a Russian snowman.

    Anywho, we're dancing, with hands, like a couple from the f*cking 70s. I go to twirl her and nearly break her arm because she doesn't know quite what's happening at this stage - not that she would've felt the pain of a broken arm because she was way drunker than I was. It's getting a lot more intimate now. She's close to me - like, Siamese twin close - and she looks up with those amazing eyes. I try to compliment them. I try to do this about 15 times, because in my mind it sounds romantic as sh*t, but the music is very loud and she doesn't hear it.

    This is the part where her friends steal her from my clutches. I wish I could say she resisted, but she didn't give much of a f*ck if I remember correctly. Unperturbed, I take a smoke break, but upon returning to the dancefloor about 10 minutes later, she comes at me again. Now I know for certain that she's interested, which makes me very happy because, as I said, she was ridiculously pretty.

    We're eventually back to siamese twin mode, and I go in for a kiss, which seemed appropriate, but she's not having it. I don't actually remember her reaction (because it's hard to see anything when your eyes are covered in tears) but I do remember she wasn't upset or anything. She leans up to my ear and shouts "do you want to go outside?". I'd have gone to Syria with her if she asked.

    We don't go outside, but we do go to a quiet, secluded spot by the stairs. I don't remember much of what happened here initially, but I do remember that I eventually apologised for trying to kiss her. She then says: "do you want to kiss me?", at which point I do. It's magical. The ceiling began to shake. Windows shattered out of nowhere. Champagne corks at the bar popped simultaneously. That's the only part of this story which isn't true.

    We stay there talking for a few minutes. Turns out she's only 19, which I've been trying to feel guilty about but it's just not happening unfortunately. Anyways, she tells me she still loves her boyfriend, which I suspect is an pre-empted excuse incase I asked to go home with her.

    You know my favourite part of the whole incident though? It was not the kiss, nor was it when she was looking up at me like I was a skyscraper to her - it was the eye contact during the dancing. She was literally at arms length at this time, but there was a mutual, unbreakable stare which must have spanned about 30 seconds. It was a truly beautiful, entrancing moment. I've been out of the whole relationship game for a while, but that gorgeous, big-eyed teenage midget has stoked my appetite again.

    Without sounding like an utter arsehole, I do get female attention on nights out, but usually it's about them having low self-esteem rather than me being some sort of vagina magnet. I'm absolutely not. I didn't have time to carry out a psych evaluation on her, but there was no way she was lagging in the self esteem stakes and that's why I was hugely flattered.

    I realise this is a long-winded way of saying I scored a stunner, but I'm extremely bored. :P

    If she was on boards and saw this it would be a beautiful Christmas miracle!!! :D

    Is it really bad that I have no trouble thinking of contributions for the insults thread (which I apologise for starting ;)) but I am sitting here for 10 minutes trying to think of contributions for the compliments thread :(

    There is a poster in AH that thinks about me everytime they go to the toilet. Best compliment ever.

    I know right. She fancied me before she knew I was romantic. If she reads that she'll be wetter than a shark. I might have used the word 'romantic' loosely actually.

    My wife said she thought she was looking fat and asked me to give her a compliment.

    I told her she has perfect eyesight.

    This needs to be added to the Creepy thread, there's a deadman posting on boards.

    My previous roommate ran down the road in her pyjamas one morning to give me the lunch I had forgotten on the kitchen table. I was on my way to work and hadn't even realized I'd forgotten it! That was awesome.

    Another story: My birthday tradition is to have ice cream for breakfast on the day. Last year I happened to be home (in Canada) for my birthday and my mom took my tradition and kicked it up a notch! She made crepes and fruit compote and had three different flavours of ice cream on the table. It was lovely! Best birthday breakfast ever!

    At a Christmas party in London in 2002 and at different stages of the night, four of my female colleagues made serious sexual advances on me. Three of them were pretty hot, but I was an attached man and I spurned their advances. Sometimes I regret that decision, because the woman I remained faithful to at the time, ended up to be a cheating slut.

    A few months ago I was adopting a second dog and a lady came round to do a homecheck and to meet my dog khali. I was really nervous and expecting a thousand questions. We had tea, biscuits and a lovely chat and she didnt ask anything but the bare basics. When she about to leave I said "do you not want to ask me anything else?!" She answered "the minute I saw khali I knew you'd be a great owner. The bottom line is.. Would I let you look after my dogs? Yes I would".
    I was delighted with myself! And I was delighted with khali for making me look good by being naturally awesome!

    When I was about 15 I was home alone and out of nowhere was struck down with a bug. My best friend at the time rang me (even though she only lived a few houses away) to see if I was there before she came over. "Don't come over!! I'm getting sick!!!" She asked who was with me. I told her no one. She said "Then I'm coming over, I don't care if I catch it." I was so grateful!

    That same girl lived with me during the college years and one day I had to skip classes and head home due to extreme 'Lady pains'. She knew we didn't even have a hot water bottle at home. So she too skipped some classes (and she was a total swot) and went and bought me a hot water bottle and a big bar of chocolate, then followed me home and gave them to me with a lovely mug of tea.

    She was a great friend. She lives in another country now. I should contact her...

    When I was in college I got an intership in a company. Now at this point in time I was a fairly typical student with some self esteem issues. I was crap in school and college, often barely scraping 40% in tests, basically because I have tunnel vision, if I like a subject I will pour my heart and soul into it and in school and college its all about cramming stuff which seemed to have no practical value.

    Anyway I was pretty sure I was destined to be a failure, as the only reason I had gotten so far in college was because I was stubborn and just repeated tests.

    Another side note, I am a huge computing enthusiast and basically have poured all my free time into it.

    Anyway, after settling into the intership, one of the guys in the it office, who was effectively my mentor, started to notice I was pretty good at computing and started complimenting me , saying I must have gotten amazing scores in school and I was a genius . That alone did a lot for me, but then he spent the summer giving me practical projects that seriously boosted my confidence. By the end of it I was a much more confident person and a lot happier, all because one guy helped me out even though it wasn't even an offical part of his job.

    Im sure a lot people have similar stories, but I think he went above and beyond what a lot of people have done for graduates. I'm forever grateful, because I have a lot of talented friends who couldn't get the same start I did, because of the state of things now.

    My sister...who lives 11,000 miles away, and who I have not seen in many years... said to me on the phone last week... ''I always think of you whenever I see the blossoms on the Rhododendron''. If it is not the nicest thing that has ever been said to me, it is certainly one of them. Instant constriction of throat, followed by hot quiet tears (as I did not want to upset her.)

    I'm sure she is still a great friend!
