Conversation starters

One time friends seem compelled to tell me that I am very handsome. In fact this happened twice shortly after my waterfall shower. I'm not sure what to say, all I can manage is 'Oh', or a mumbled 'don't get that back home'. It's not like this is deep into a conversation, its one of the first few lines... is that a normal introduction? Its flattering sure but I'm getting wary of compliments from men in India...
