Reply #11: I think she should step back

and take a closer look at this guy. Could be he hung the moon crooked.
Maybe he just had a cloddish moment; but my experiences with guys like that years ago tell me this one isn't relationship material...at least, not yet.

Maybe if she waits a little before investing more emotion in him, he'll start to notice her beauty and comment on it...frequently, and with careful attention to what is specifically beautiful about her. If he doesn't, it offers her the opportunity to find someone who appreciates her.

And if he says something like that again, I'd say one of your responses is totally apropos as she's waving bye-bye.
