Today I went to my college class for a lecture and to take some notes. I’ve only been to this class for the second time, and this girl sitting directly in front of me caught my eye. I got a better look at her, and she was beautiful. I made a pact with myself to compliment her that day. When class ended, I decided to ask my professor a question. I wanted to get my stuff packed up before I did though. So when pretty much everyone had left. I saw the girl asking the professor a question herself. She happened to not have her stuff packed up. It took me a while to pack everything up, but, when I did, I wanted to break the ice. " Do I know you? you look familiar. Are you from around this area." I said. She mentioned places that were no where near where I lived( and tbh I didn’t recognize her), but I wanted to try something, right? She was almost packed up when I decided to spew a statement of, " I like your makeup". I said smiling. She smiled back and said “thank you.” Leaving right after. I’m usually not that bold, yet I felt smooth. At the same time I felt like a creep and/or jerk. I wish I could’ve talked to her more though. Could someone please tell me if I said anything wrong or to forward? Or did I say the right thing? Thanks.

It doesn't seem creepy to me. I have never had any luck with women though so I'm not a good guy to ask advice of. But in terms of feeling awkward with that stuff I'm the same way.

Thank you. I know there are lots of nervous guys out there, I'm just seeing what sticks.

No, not exactly creepy I presume. You just used the oldest, most clichéd line ever on her, so she probably mentally rolled her eyes at you for even trying that old canard.

Not creepy at all.

As Alex said, you used several of the oldest clichés in the book..

But you broke the ice.

It isn't creepy, I think you did good by approaching her and breaking the ice with her, too many guys don't ever do that. If you had said "I think you're beautiful" it would have been creepy.
Now you have an in next class, you can smile and say Hi and ask her how the class is going or something like that.

I've never used a pickup line in my life. I'm also almost always single

I also (no longer) give a shit.

Be happy on your own, allow relationships to become bonuses, then you'll never be disappointed

Only advice I got

Not gonna like, "I like your makeup" seems quite strange coming from a guy lol. That's something girls usually say to each other. I'm sure she appreciated the sweet gesture nonetheless. Maybe next time you want to compliment a girl from class, introduce yourself first and say "I just wanted to let you know that I think you are very beautiful..." or something along those lines.

"I like your makeup. Because without it I'd have to look at what's underneath."

That's the message being given. Worst compliment ever.

Although I guess "You'd look great underneath my garage." might be worse.
