Have you encountered people calling you beautiful before?
And even though you loved the compliment, you still had no idea how you should respond?
It’s certainly an awkward compliment to respond to.
Should you say “thank you” and leave it at that? Or should you compliment them back?
It’s tough to figure out, but I’m here to help.
Here are 25 smart ways to respond when someone calls you “beautiful”.
1. “You just made my day.”
That is one of the best ways to give thanks to anyone who calls you beautiful.
A compliment can give you a boost of confidence.
When you are feeling unattractive or low on confidence, a kind compliment or an unexpected one can instantly change your mood.
This reply is great to show that the compliment did make you feel good.
When someone says something nice, it is always appreciated.
You don’t want to make their day better by turning them down and not acknowledging their compliment.
By saying this, you’ve also made them feel good. Why? Because people love making others feel good!
2. “You’re pretty cute too.”
This reply back acknowledges their compliment and also gives them one back.
Be warned though. This reply back will show you’re confident and will signal your romantic interest in them.
If you’re not interested in the person, don’t use this reply.
It’s a good reply if you want to flirt or if you want to make sure the person knows that you’re not just open to receiving compliments, but also giving them out too.
3. “I appreciate that. Thank you.”
There are plenty of ways to go around a compliment but this simple reply doesn’t clearly show you agree or disagree with their opinion but it shows your appreciation toward them.
This polite answer shows that you care what they think.
And it also shows that you’re not rude or stuck up.
This is a good reply to use if you’re not sure how to respond.
This shows that you are appreciative of the compliment and are thankful for the person’s opinion.
If you’re trying to do anything romantic with this person later, this is a good reply back to use.
It shows you’re a genuine person that actually listens to other people and doesn’t think too much of yourself.
4. “I guess hanging out with you rubbed off on me.”
This is a great return compliment that is full of wit.
It is a kind response that can make the person you are talking to feel better.
This is especially effective if they have low self-esteem.
Be careful, however. It may show you’re romantic interest in them so only use this response if you genuinely like them.
5. “I really put a lot of thought into this, thank you for noticing.”
Use this if they’ve called something to do with your fashion beautiful.
After hearing the compliment, you can tell the person that you spent hours picking out your clothes, high heels, and accessories to match your makeup on this occasion.
This is great because it acknowledges the thoughtfulness of their compliment. They haven’t just given you a blanket compliment, but they’ve actually acknowledged a part of your style.
That will make them feel good
6. “I don’t think I heard you, mind repeating that?”
Another witty response you can use is to pretend that you didn’t hear what they just said.
The person might repeat it or will move on to something else.
This type of response would be great to use with strangers or in a public place where you don’t want to make too big of a deal about your beauty or for a situation that doesn’t need a compliment at all.
This is also an effective way to avoid the awkwardness when you feel like one because someone just called you beautiful without even knowing you.
Otherwise, you can just pretend like you didn’t hear them, and then it is possible that the person will take a step back and not compliment you again.
Or it can be as if you’re making a very funny joke. After all, everyone likes being called beautiful, so by asking them to repeat it, you get to hear “you’re beautiful” twice!
7. “Well thanks – now I’m full-on blushing!”
Not only is this kind of response effective, but it will also make the person think that you are happy with their compliment.
By being honest, they could also feel happy about their perception of you and think that they just made your day.
Showing your real feeling toward the compliment can help you feel better.
Moreover, this kind of response works great with compliments from strangers because it helps you to remain positive and happy even after they pass by you.
8. “Thanks, but I prefer to be noticed for my intellectual capacity.”
If you’re not really appreciating the compliment because they are focusing on your looks, then use this.
This is another great way that you can use to write off a compliment.
This response will tell them that you don’t want to be judged by your outside beauty but by what you have inside.
It is a way of telling them that they can appreciate your beauty but it doesn’t determine who you are as a person.
The other person might also like and appreciate your directness on the point of being called beautiful.
It might also teach them a lesson that beauty isn’t everything and they shouldn’t judge people based on their looks.
9. “Likewise!”
This is a great response because it is a combination of saying thank you and returning back the compliment.
Only use this if you genuinely think they’re beautiful!
10. “If I had a dollar for every compliment I’ve received so far, I’d be a billionaire.”
If you regularly get called beautiful, then this one will show them how lame and uncreative they are!
This funny response is great to tell them that you have heard a lot of compliments and that they are not surprising to you anymore.
This kind of statement will let them know that they don’t have anything new to say and it is just as ordinary as all the others.
It is also good to use in case you just don’t like the person and their compliment about your beauty doesn’t make you warm up to them at all.
Moreover, it is also good to use in case you just want to ignore the compliment and want them to move out of your space.
It can be a great way to show that your confidence is not affected by the compliment.
You aren’t going to be someone’s plaything, so if they think of you as beautiful and want a chance with you, then they should have the courage and confidence too.
11. “You’re too kind.”
This is a great reply that you can use to thank the person for their compliment and make them feel good about themselves at the same time.
This way, they will not feel insulted or hurt by you declining their compliment.
They will feel more confident in their own abilities and that they can keep on giving compliments without feeling like it’s something wrong with them.
12. “I’m flattered, but I think you’re exaggerating.”
This is a great response to use when you get called beautiful and you are not sure how to respond.
You can also use this in case you don’t think the person is calling you beautiful, but they are just trying to be nice and compliment you on something else.
This way, they will not feel insulted or hurt by your response.
13. “I’m beautiful because of my personality.”
You can reply with this one if the other person compliments your looks or body and says that it’s what makes you beautiful.
You can tell them that it’s not just your looks that make them see you as beautiful; it’s who you are as a human being who is capable of doing great things with their life.
14. “Stop it, you’re being weird”
This is a great response to use when you are uncomfortable with the person complimenting you.
You can tell them that they are being weird and that you don’t want to be near them if they continue to do so.
You can also use this in case you think the person has ulterior motives behind their compliments.
15. “Thanks for stating the obvious”
This shows that you’re confident and that you don’t really appreciate their compliment.
You can tell them that they are not the only person who thinks you’re beautiful, and that it’s something everyone else already knows.
This is a great reply to use when you want to brush the person off.
16. “Thank you, but I’m not interested”
This is a great way to reject someone without hurting their feelings.
You can tell them that you appreciate their compliments, but that you are not interested in them or anything else they have to offer.
You can also use this in case you are not interested in the person, but you don’t want to hurt their feelings.
17. “You’re just saying that to get in my pants”
This is a great way to reject someone’s compliment if you think they are only saying it to get in your pants.
This will show the other person that you are not interested in them and that you have realized what their intentions were behind the compliment.
18. “You’ll need to think of something better than that if you want my number”
This is another great way to reject someone’s compliment.
You can tell them that their compliments are not good enough for you, and that they will need to think of something better if they want your number.
This will show the other person that you are not interested in them, and it will also make them think twice before giving you a compliment again.
19) “Sorry, you must have me mistaken for someone else. I get that a lot.”
This is a good way to accept a compliment while appearing humble.
You can tell them that you are flattered that they would compliment you, but you are not the person they think you are.
This will show the other person that you appreciate their compliments, but that you don’t feel like they should be directed at you.
Everyone loves someone that is humble and not full of themselves, so this is a great way to respond when you want to appear like someone everyone can get along with.
20) “I guess that makes two of us! That’s something else we have in common.”

It also signifies that you’re willing to make fun of yourself which makes you appear humble.

24) “Thanks…but I’m really not interested in anything serious right now…sorry!”
Again, this one shows you’re not interested and it was as plain as daylight that they were hitting on you.
It will take them aback a little bit, but if you don’t want to talk to them, then use this one.
25) “Okay, but have you seen yourself?”
This is a great way to return the attention back to them. It will let them know that you think they’re beautiful.
It will show them that you’re confident in yourself and it will also make them feel great about themselves because they know another person thinks they’re beautiful.
