the strangest compliment i've ever received

a friend and former classmate of mine confided (which is why i'm blogging about it now) in me that a mutual friend of ours repeatedly impressed upon him how cute she thought my dimples were.

great. dimples are cute and a welcome addition to nearly any face.

only problem, i don't have dimples. i'm quite sure, as i spent a good 15 minutes (additional to normal grooming time) contorting my face in various ways as to try and manipulate my skin such that a cavity in my cheek would appear. minimal success.

it's like a girl telling a bald man how much she loves his long flowing locks.

should he feel good about it? is a compliment even a compliment if it's plainly untrue to all?
