Should I just say "thanks"?
"Thanks" alone is underused as a reply — it's confident if you stop there. Adding "omg really?!" or "I don't even know what to say" downgrades it. Accept cleanly, then return fire: "Thanks — I'll take it. Your taste is officially vindicated."
What's a flirty way to respond to a compliment from a girl?
Accept with confidence, then flip it. "Thanks — I'll take it. Also: your profile made me lose a full workday of productivity, so you're ahead on points." Acceptance + compliment-back = high-status without being arrogant.
What if I'm not sure if she's being genuine or sarcastic?
Assume genuine. Worst case of assuming genuine = you feel briefly stupid. Worst case of assuming sarcastic = you insult her and she leaves. Err on the warmer read every single time.
How do I respond to a compliment without coming off as arrogant?
Accept, then make it about her. "Appreciate that. Also: the fact that you noticed says a lot about your taste." You own the compliment AND flip the attention back to her. High-status, not arrogant.
