Compliments

So today one of my male co workers who is not gay, but is in a committed relationship, told me that I looked beautiful today. See what some time off and a little Barcelona sun can do? Anyway, I have no interest in any kind of relationship with this guy and I don't think he has one in me either. He sort of said it spontaneously. Wow, was it ever nice to have a man tell me I looked beautiful. I would like to hear it on a regular basis. A few months ago I had my non relationship relationship guy was over, he had on a nice blue shirt. I told him that the colour of the shirt looked good on him. He said yeah you were probably thinking about how it brings out the gray in my hair and I said no, I was thinking about how it brought out his beautiful blue eyes. He absolutely glowed after that. Everyone should be told that they are beautiful. Why is it so hard to tell the people around us, especially those we care about that they are beautiful?
