Ok kids, here's the deal. Telling someone "I can't believe/don't understand why you're single" is *not* a compliment. It may *sound* almost like one, and undoubtedly the person saying it means it as one...but it's not. It just reminds the person you're saying it to that they are, in fact, single. it dredges up memories of why their last relationship(s) didn't work out, reminds them that their ex is currently in a long term
relationship and they're still alone, makes them wonder again why the
last (two) people they dated suddenly just stopped calling/answering
their messages with no explanation, makes them count in their head how
many months it's been since they were even asked on a date, and somehow
makes them feel like they *should* be in a relationship and there must
be something wrong with them because they're not.
Better compliments
include "Hey! You look awesome!", "Your show is really funny and your
character is hilarious" (only works if they have a show), "You're a
super cool person! Let's go get ice cream -- I'll pay since cool people
shouldn't have to pay for their own ice cream.", "You've got the moves
like Jagger", "If I ever get stuck in a dark alley with you, I know I'll
be safe because your guns are HUGE", and "Your outfit is gangsta".
