Like at the mall or a book store or something like that? Ladies, what do you think, and if it's ok, what's the appropriate way to go about it? And what's ok to say?

Face it, women love to be complimented. BUT you CAN "go over the limit " with us. ( you know " too much of a good thing...)
As far as being in public, a lot if women don't like "open display of affection ". That does NOT include compliments of how we look , or maybe a new outfit we just bought. I mean like a passionate kiss. That has it's place, and it's NOT in public!
If you know the woman, approach, her very gently, and you may say something like "If you haven't read that book, and I can guarantee you will like it ", providing you have already read it. If not, you may say " I've been looking for that same book, what do you think?"
Women like a challenge, so we have a tendency to brush off men that come on too strong.We also like a confident and caring man. One that is interested in what WE are too, and not just what YOU are., but also have a tendency to brush off the men that try to come on too strong. Try to find a common interest, and let the conversation flow.
And PLEASE don't ever try the old lines like " what's your sign?", or " Did it hurt when you fell? " ( from Heaven, cause they're missing an Angel " YUK !!!!!!!!
I hope this helps you some.
Good luck ! Don't be too pushy, and on the other hand, don't be too shy.

It's okay to compliment a woman in public but you have to make sure that you're doing it in a tactful way. It's important to be specific, saying "you look nice" is too general and may sound insincere. I'd suggest saying something about her eyes or something about what's she's wearing.
Everything else just has to come natural.

Sure go ahead when someone interests you. But after the compliment make a C&F (cocky and funny) comment. For instance, if you like her dress say so , but then make a funny comment about the colour, the shoes etc. use your imagination. Because you have to remember that girls/women get hit on a lot, especially beautiful women, and you want to stand out from all the others and make yourself memorable. After the funny and cocky say something like, for example if you made a funny comment about the colour of her dress say, "I'd like to hang around and talk but the colour of your dress is blinding me". Then ask her for her e-mail address then leave. The odds are she'll give it to you. No wussyiness allowed. A womans experience is talking here.

It depend on WHAT and HOW you say it. But alot times women do not know HOW to accept the compliment.

If you're making a comment that might be taken as flirting, chck for a wedding band first. It always makes me uncomfortable when a guy flirts when I'm out without my husband.

If you are just walking up to her purely to say "I like your boobs", that is inappropriate.
If you are already in a conversation, and she mentions something she doesn't like about herself (bad hair day, no make-up on today, whatever), then you can say "I think your hair looks great" or whatever w/o any problems.

Be honest and personal. Say something like "Excuse me, but I couldn't help noticing how blue your eyes are, they are really beautiful".
Do NOT say things like, "Wow, your breasts are so big I would love to squeeze them." Comments like that should be left for intimate moments.

No hard and fast rule on this point. It depends on the manner in which you do keeping the decency and decorum of the situation.
