Compliments

When I go to other people's houses, I try to always compliment them on their things. For example, I might say, "this is a really nice lamp." Then to show them that I mean it, I ask, "can I have it?" Then when they tell me that I can't have it, I act really disappointed and awkward. I think this shows that I really do like their stuff and I want it, and it makes them feel really good about themselves.
