I think you can learn a lot about a guy from the way that he talks to you and the way that he compliments you. If he's complimenting you when you're just walking down the street and it's something completely pure and of the moment, then that's something you can take to heart.

I'm a Libra. If someone compliments me, I'll say something nice to them. I like to give out compliments.
