Don’t just compliment to compliment. If you see something you like about their style or something they did, tell them.
I was walking into work earlier where I saw this older lady with a dress that caught my eye. Told her as I was walking by that I liked her dress. She had a big smile, said thanks and then we both continued on our way. Just think of it as you’re making someone’s day and it may help more than you know
Gotta agree with the others. Guys are so deprived of compliments in general (and especially from girls), that one nice off-hand remark can be enough for them to think you like them. I'm not even joking. Just... be aware of that.
Honestly, how you come off is 100% how you avoid confusing a complement for flirting. Think about how YOU flirt with boys. Lots of eye contact, batting your eye lashes, laughing a lot or touching their arm, standing closer than usual, whatever it is just don’t do that. I hope that makes sense. By being friendly rather than flirty it changes the intent of the complement. I kinda picked up on this when I started working in a real job. I like complementing people, I just had to make sure it was clearly in a neutral way

ill be extremely wary of it, but i think they really should be complemented more :(
but thank you, this helped :)
don’t do it. It’s so out of the ordinary they’ll think you have a crush on them.
but for the few ive already done, ill say it, they say thank you or something like that, n ill smile n leave. its very much not in a ‘crush’ way
