Introduction
Simple efforts and things make people’s days and not large and fancy gifts. So often, people shy away from expressing what they truly feel, forgetting how much it could mean to someone. Let us see how to reply to someones saying you’re so pretty.
Picture this. You’re walking down the road on a normal working day of the week. You’re ready to face the stress and duties that work has ready for you for the day. You’re walking in your jacket or ponytail, and someone stops to say, ‘you’re so pretty!’ Wouldn’t that make your day? If that statement has so much power to bring you a smile, why not respond and make the other person’s day too? This article has ideas on how you can respond to the said statement.
What does the statement mean?
Naturally, the statement is a compliment. It means someone has seen something on you or about you that they find enchanting. When someone says you’re pretty, they mean you’re beautiful, and something about you has made them smile. \
They have probably found some aspect of you that sparkles. It could be your eyes, smile, clothes, or even your hair! The statement, all in all, just expresses positivity and is meant to let the person know that they hold something worth complimenting.
Ways to reply to – You’re so pretty
So someone happens to tell you that you’re pretty. It could be anyone anywhere. It could be your mom, a stranger, a friend, the receptionist, or even a child! It could be at a party, on the road, at work, at the ice cream parlor, or anywhere else! Compliments come at you at the most random of times. Therefore, hold these responses in your mind to express the same when a compliment comes your way!
Right back at you!
This is another genuine response to give when someone says you’re pretty. When you say right back at you, you mean they’re pretty too. It is simpler to state the same and makes it less exclamatory and expressive. So if you’re introverted or feel awkward around situations like these, you can get done with a ‘right back at you when someone compliments you. However, you want to be careful that you try not to say it to a gentleman or someone who wouldn’t like the definition of ‘pretty.’
I appreciate that
Instead of you, to make your response more valuable, you can use terms like appreciate, grateful, etc. For example, when you say you appreciate someone’s compliment, it is one step further from a thank you. So if someone says that you’re pretty and it has touched you more than usual, you can let the person know that you appreciate the effort and courage they took to notice and express the same.
Thank you for complimenting me
This is a prolonged version of a thank you. It adds a little more enthusiasm to your gratitude, giving you nice energy and finish. For example, when you say ‘thank you for complimenting me,’ the person on the other end clearly understands that you have understood the value of their words. So when someone says you’re pretty, you can always extend the thank you by adding the above words to your speech.
Well, so are you!
This is similar to right back at you but again in a more confident and approachable way. When someone says you’re pretty and you say, ‘well, so are you, you’re directly giving it back in a way that people feel as happy as you did when they complimented you. So if someone says you’re so pretty, and you reply with this, they understand the level of expression you’re trying to add to your words. However, be sure to state this with a smile and an expressive way, or it may come off as a rude and uninteresting message.
You’re pretty too
If the ladies, a young girl, or anyone who fits your definition of pretty says that you’re pretty, you can give them the ‘you’re pretty too!’ This statement works best since you acknowledge their compliment and give one back. This is more kind and polite than the previous replies, but depending on your situation, the person, and other factors, you can always choose your words!
You’re quite pleasant yourself
If you find a man, an aged person, or someone you think wouldn’t like the word pretty. You can replace the same with this reply. When you say that ‘you’re pleasant yourself,’ you’re giving someone a compliment that cannot go wrong! You can also try words like ‘you’re charming, ‘you look great too,’ and so on.
Pick a specific compliment
If you have the time when you’re encountered with a compliment like ‘you’re so pretty, try to find something specific to compliment back. For example, you can say, ‘thank you, your earrings are beautiful,’ or ‘thank you, your hair is gorgeous,’ or even ‘thank you, you look pretty in that dress too .’It doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to give the word pretty back. You can just pick one thing you like about the person on the spot and compliment them for it. It’s more expressive than any other reply!
Conclusion
Getting compliments is meant to be part and parcel of one’s life. However, these things are not easily said these days. Many reasons cause people to forget to appreciate and notice the smallest things that make life beautiful. So be sure you say the right and most meaningful words back!
