Have you ever tried Tinder or Bumble? If so, you’ve probably received a few “Hey handsome!” messages from women.
This compliment, coming from a girl, often catches you off guard, right? It’s flattering, sure. But how do you respond to it?
Perhaps you’re one of us – the guys who don’t exactly see themselves as male models. So, when a woman drops you that handsome message, it can feel like stepping up to bat when you’ve never even swung a baseball bat before.
It’s a funny situation to be in, isn’t it? All this overthinking about how to reply without stepping on her words or coming off as awkward.
Sounds tricky, right? So let’s take a look at some actual examples you can use the next time a girl calls you handsome.
