So, I just saw that there is an article on compliments. Interestingly, this is something that has been going through my mind for a bit. I have been dating this awesome guy for a while, and he has these awesome moments when he will just look straight into my eyes and tell me that he finds me beautiful... I blush, smile, giggle and then hug and kiss him... Are there any words that I could say that could reciprocate any better than my actions (or at least combined with them)?

I find him beautiful inside and out... I just don't know how to put it into words... Guys, I would appreciate some help as to how to let him know what I think of him... what is the best way, too much or not enough...

Thanks!

J

I find if he turns that lovely shade of red I have complimented him correctly. I think his favorite compliment is when I tell him he makes me happy. Simple, to the point, and it shows he is doing what he set out to do. He is not wordy but that look he gives me says everything I put into words.

My point is if you are not one to use words your hugs and kisses are enough. If you are a word kinda person simple words are usually enough.

I see in your post that you mention "awesome" a couple of times. Not sure how many of us guys would not like to hear that!

And in your words, he is beautiful both inside and out. I know how I feel when I hear things like that. Just say exactly what you have told us!

Yup. What Jo and BNNN said. It works.

Although if you wear something cute and hand him a beer and sammich while you say (or hug) it, all the better!

a blush, a smile, giggle and then a hug and a kiss?

Nope, that is sufficient for me.

I just like any compliments. I don't get them often.

Just tell him that he has a big you-know-what. That should work.

1.If he's not shy about PDA, hold his arm when you walk side by side.
2. When he wears a shirt that you like, just mention you like the shirt.
3. When he said you're beautiful, that's the good opportunity to say you're glad and you're lucky to be with him.

Guys want to be wanted just as much.

It really depends on what kind of guy he is. If you want a really personal compliment u should know that first. Take what he focuses most of his time and hard work on and let him know that he's good at it or even the best. If your in the deep stairing in eachothers eyes mode a good enough one is that I don't even know how to find the words to tell you how special you make me feel. Just letting a man know that you are his and only his is good.
