I once asked a girl for her phone number, out of the blue, while in a crowded mall. I hadn't finished the sentence and her boyfriend walked out of the nearby bookstore and joined her.

She said "No, but thank you." and they both walked away smiling, both having received a compliment. Totally cool.

I was sitting on the beach with my girlfriend, and a macho type with a HUGE dog walks by, turns to my girlfriend and says "you're amazing". He then broke into a jog, possibly not to see our reaction. I yelled "Thanks!" after him and told my girlfriend "he's right, you know".
