What sort of compliments are acceptable between strangers?
919872
Any comment you would make to your mother.  In other words if it wouldn't offend your mother, grandmother, aunt, sister it would be acceptable.  Now, if you had a really open relationship with any these people you may have to curb the compliment.  Compliments on shoes, hair, smile are usually safe ones.

Not weird, but a bit clumsy.  Better ways to express the same sentiment are:  "Aren't you convinced that we strongly resemble each other."  OR  "We really look very much the same.  Don't we?"

Walk up to them, introduce yourself, and start a conversation.  Be a nice person.\n\nOptional:  Dress up nicely.

oh well i absolutely love stuff like this.  its so easy! ok well first of all.. you should realize that everyone who is going because they want to and they want to have fun.   no ones going there to scrutinize anybody.  Well first of all... dress up and look pretty.  So when no one knows anything about you (you have an awesome personality, etc) they will know one good thing about you: you look nice!  So that will give you confidence.  And never stop smiling.  People will be scared to talk to you if you do not come off as super friendly.  And if someone doesnt introduce themselves to you, it is because they are nervous like you are!\n\nHere is how to socialize:\nintroduce yourself.  assertive, eye contact, say hi im "name", that you are so in sos husband.\nThen, ask questions.  (their name if you dont already know it) After a conversation, people always report liking someone a lot when THEY were the ones talking the whole time! so thats a good trick... because they will like you and you wont have to talk much!  Just be really interested in Them!  Tilt head, smile and nodd as they talk.  Eye contact!\n\nHave a bunch of questions thought of before you go so if you get nervous you can just resort to those pre rehearsed Qs (never a yes or no question).\n\nGreat questions:\nWhere do you work?  Are you from around here?  How long have you been in the area?  Who did you come here with?  If they have a job that requires a degree, ask where they attended school.  Do you enjoy the neighborhood?   Usually you should ask questions that naturally follow each other, and not randomly jump around.\n\nYou can propose a problem, and ask them for the solution.  for example:  My husband and I have been trying to find a good italian restaurante, do you know of any?  Do you two have a favorite restaurant?  \n\nYou keep asking these questions until you find something unique you have in common.  example:  you both have kids the same age, are from the same hometown, you had the same major in college.  Once you find something you have in common, this is when the conversation can be fun.  This is when people get into things they start laughing about and when natural conversation comes in.  At this point, you dont really need any rules, just talk openly and ask questions!  Just dont say any really opinionated things like "I think homeschooling is wrong" or "accountants are boring".  Everything should be lighthearded and complimentary.\n\n"Expert" tips:  Ask questions that don't assume anything... like, asking are you here with your husband? that assumes: 1. theyre not gay.  and 2. theyre married.  this could turn into an awkward situation!  But usually things are pretty obvious so dont really worry about that.  \n\nSo SMILE!  Ask questions, become interested in the other person's life, and when in doubt, smile and nodd!!\n\nNow have fun impressing your husband with your amazing social butterfly skills.  By the end of the night hell miss having you cling to his arm.\n\ngood luck but more importantly have fun!! :)

You could try turning the joke into a compliment!\neg. Is THAT what you are wearing?.......Good, cos you look great in it - but then you always do! (the second remark stops any comeback!\n\nThere are some things that you cannot give the right answer to:\nDoes my bum look big in this? (you mean it does in other things)\nWhich outfit should I wear? (what's wrong with the other outfit? You liked it last time I wore it)\nWhat colour suits me best? (so I don't look good in.....?)\n\nTact is always the best policy.   If she does look dreadful, just say something like 'You look very nice but I always fancy you most when you in the blue dress'.\n\nIf you don't learn to say nice things, it will cost you a fortune in flowers!\n\nHope the advice helps!

so try complimenting whats on there shirt  or something then! For instance, say they are wearing your favorite sports teams shirt - say something like " nice shirt! I love the ____"\n\nthat's cute, sincere, and makes them smile :)\n\nOr something along those lines.... like Love your shirt, green is my favorite color! \n\nI think as long as you say it genuinely (like in a happy way) it won't come off creepy no matter what you compliment them on... Everyone loves a compliment - just say it with confidence!

It might be considered odd these days, particularly if you are genuine, but there's nothing wrong with it at all!  People should remember to say please and thank you, and maybe even smile.\n\nIt might be odd if you said it to a vending machine though...
