How do you respend to the phrase "You're looking good!"
I have never been sure how to respond to the "You're looking good" compliment. Here is the most recent example:
A few days ago I attended my little brother's middle school graduation. His principle is the same person I had when I went to that school. The principle sees me and remembers me and walks over to chat. He does the "You're looking good thing" and I kind of stutter and say "So are you.... too." Now, this person is a 70 year old school principle, so me saying he was looking good was probably a little transparent. But on the other hand, it would be rude just to thank him and move on with the conversation.
So basically what I am asking is, how do you respond to the "You're looking good" compliment to someone who is, for lack of a better term, NOT looking as good as when you last saw them? I don't want to sound egotistical here, I am not a model or anything, it's just that this situation has always made me uncomfortable.
