A simple yet respectful act of kindness by an Indian man has gone viral, garnering praise for delivering a compliment without any ulterior motives. His social media post about the interaction has ignited discussions on how to give compliments without making others uncomfortable.
A Compliment Without Expectations
The man shared his experience online, explaining that he saw a beautiful woman with her friend while buying shawarma. Later, when he noticed her sitting alone, he decided to approach her and express his admiration in a polite manner.
“Hi, I walked past you over there, and I came here just to say that you look amazing,” he told the woman. She responded with a warm “Awww, thank you.” Without prolonging the conversation or making any further requests, he simply said, “No worries, now I’m gonna go,” and walked away.

Social Media Applauds the Gesture
His respectful approach resonated with social media users, many of whom appreciated his effort to give a genuine compliment without making the interaction uncomfortable.
One user praised him, saying, “Best OP. Genuine compliments without asking for contact info make people feel comfortable.” Another wrote, “100% appreciated. Since he didn’t ask for her number or linger any longer, that would make the girl believe that he genuinely meant it without any hidden expectations.”
Some even encouraged more people to normalize such positive interactions. “Fab job on working your confidence levels up, OP. And while you do it, could you do us dudes a favour? Compliment random men too—it’ll make their day. We don’t get compliments often, and when we do, we remember them forever,” a commenter suggested.
The post has sparked a wider conversation on the importance of respectful communication and how small gestures of kindness can brighten someone’s day.
