What does "acting like you complimented someone" entail? Expecting them to show gratitude? Or is it something more?
Something less; people risk their status when they say or do or display some praise-worthy thing, and they need affirmation that they gained status (via compliment). I act as if I've already affirmed their status (going on to the next topic, bringing up a compliment-worthy thing of my own), which looks to them like I'm denying their status (because they don't see the praise that's in my head).
