I try to compliment people regularly too but if they ask a question I would answer it honestly.

I also feel like I've been told that I shouldn't ask for compliments because it's rude when I was a child. However I can't remember who said it to me.

It can depend on the person so it's a general concept. I think if someone is asking for a critique they would ask more directly. Culture also plays a big role. I'm speaking from a USA cultural viewpoint.

Bah, screw that! People like making others feel good. It makes you feel good to know another person is pleased. So what if you fish for that sort of engagement unless you're being an incessant little dictator?
