1474754 2021-01-28 06:56:00 Last week I went to a gathering, mostly middle aged people, and one of the volunteers who helped us (many disabled) is a very nice young girl I assume in her twenties. I thought that she looked lovely in her summer dress (NOT sexy but lovely) and I would have liked to tell her so but I am old enough to be her grandfather and so I imagine that I would be thought of as a dirty old man. So how do I pay her a compliment without offending? I'd like to know.

Come on you young ones. What can I say without offending?:confused:

So you see the focus is on the dress.

1474756 2021-01-28 17:27:00 How well do you know her? Has she been there awhile? If she is a newby, refrain and just admire from a distance. She knows it's a nice dress and probably doesn't need your comment unless you know her reasonably well. Bryan (147)

No, I don't know her well. All you could say is that I am an acquaintance. She is a volunteer to our group and I have very little to do with her as I don't need any help as many of our disabled members of our group do. She is fairly new so perhaps as you say, I should just refrain.

Thanks for your comments.:thanks

...and would look better on the floor beside my bed.

Keen to hear how this plays out.

Hey. check out that ass!

Do you think I could talk her out of it?
