It's something I hear people say so often to the poor bastards who genuinely admire them, and it's so bloody condescending. Do people not realise flattery is FALSE praise? For crying out loud, when you say 'I'm flattered', you're really saying 'I feel like you just gave me a compliment you didn't mean'. How freaking rude. Is it so hard to say 'thanks for the compliment, but I'm already seeing someone' or equivalent?
Sorry about the rant, it just makes me really mad!
