How Do You Handle Compliments?
by smellsgood intoday i was followed around, complimented extensively and asked out by a guy at wal-mart (they have good prices on cake),,,i sort of felt like bolting, i felt extremely embarassed (and said as much) even though i was flattered.

evolution: non violent (though there can be conflict involved) long lasting, usually a permanent change.. .
