Praising a woman; learn the techniques

Don asks, "I would like to approach a woman to praise her beauty, but in today's climate in America, who knows what her reaction would be. How can I do it?"

We all like compliments and no one would mind if you do it the right way. First of all, you should be genuine about it. Secondly, be subtle. Thirdly, make an indirect comment first to see her reaction and only if you realize that it is welcome you should say something more direct. Fourth, do not try to embarrass anyone. Finally, smile and respect the other person.
