It is very important to compliment someone on a regular basis so that your relationship will grow and strengthen. Being attracted to each other is the beginning of a relationship, but you have to work hard to maintain it. If you want to learn how to praise to do it, you can learn what to say and how to express it.
Step
Part 1 of 2: Knowing What to Say
Step 1. Compliment her appearance, but praise other things than just her appearance
Men have a reputation for being “low” people. If you think the woman you're with has a sexy body, that's okay, but "sexy body" shouldn't be the main and most important thing you throw up when your partner asks.
- Try saying what you notice right away, then talk about his personality: "The first thing I liked were your eyes, but the more I got to know you the more I liked your sense of humor. I love the way you make me laugh".
- When you compliment her appearance, don't talk about body parts, such as the size of her "assets". Instead, say, “You look so beautiful in that dress” or “I love watching you dance.” Compliment the style he chooses.
- Always avoid using harsh words. Don't use slang names for body parts. It's neither funny nor flattering.
Step 2. Compliment your partner's personality
He wants to know why you like him, not why you are attracted to him. That means, you have to praise more deeply than just the outward appearance and praise him based on what you like on the inside. Here are some tips you can use:
- "I like the way you deal with difficult situations and stay calm."
- "I love the way you care for animals and I love your jovial nature."
- "I love seeing your interest in music".
- "I like to see you being a good brother and son in your family".
- "I like your character who is always there when other people need help."
Step 3. Praise his intelligence
If you are attracted to your partner's brain, it's better to praise him for his intelligence. Praise your partner's intelligence and abilities.
- "I like you because you care about the environment and I love your desire to leave a mark on this world".
- "I like you because you are a good student and you are committed to studying at a good campus."
- "I like you because you read a lot and know a lot of things".
- "I like you because you are involved in politics and I like your desire to make a difference."
Step 4. Praise the skill or talent
What activities does he do that attracts you? What do you like about your partner's unique traits or abilities? He would feel better if he received a compliment as specific and unique as this:
- "I like you because you work hard. I'm really amazed".
- "The pies you make are really good. I love your baking talent".
- “I like your sense of humor. You are great to talk to because you always make me laugh”.
- "I love all your hobbies. You are talented and your free time is well used".
Step 5. Talk about how you feel about him
Compliments will always appear more sincere and meaningful if they relate to your feelings, personal responses, and relationships. Compliments like this will always be better than the compliments that can be given to everyone.
- "I really like you. I'm crazy about you".
- "I like you because you can make me excited".
- "I love the way you make me laugh."
- "I like you because we can spend time together and do nothing, but still have fun".
Step 6. Be as specific as possible
Don't make compliments that sound like they were plucked from the internet. If you want your compliment to sound sincere, you need to be as specific as possible and use lots of detail to make it meaningful. How do you compliment your partner? Praise your partner.
- Instead of saying, “I like your body,” say, “I like the way you walk and move. When we go for a walk in the park and the wind is blowing hard, I like the way you tie your hair as you keep walking.”
- Instead of saying, “I like your personality,” say, “I like it when I can tell you're upset about what other people are saying and you're just nervous and you're quiet and you look at me right away. I feel we are very close if you do that.”
- Instead of saying, "I like your sense of humor," say something funny to show his sense of humor. Say, “I love the way you eat peanut butter straight out of the jar when no one is looking. It excites me”, or anything else that makes him laugh.
Step 7. Just tell the truth
Girls don't expect anything special when they ask this question, except for your honest feelings. If you like the girl because she makes you laugh, tell her. If you like a girl because her legs excite you, say so. If you like someone, show them the respect they deserve by being honest and specific about what you like about them. This question is not a test and you must pass it. This question is just an honest question and an opportunity to get closer to him.
Part 2 of 2: Knowing How to Say It
Step 1. Give compliments without being asked
If someone asks you this, it may be that you haven't taken the initiative to compliment them yet, or you're conveying the compliment in the wrong way. You shouldn't praise him because he is angry with you or because you were asked to praise him. Praise him for no reason.
- When is the right time to praise? Anytime. If the conversation is steaming up and you can't think of anything else to talk about, a kind compliment will always be appreciated.
- If you're only complimenting someone for wanting to apologize, you'll need to get used to being emotionally involved in the relationship. Think about your partner's feelings more often.
Step 2. Praise often, but not too often
A few compliments every week will suffice, but if all you're talking about is how much your partner means to you and all the little things you love about him or her, you'll end up looking like a spoiled child rather than a boyfriend. Praise delivered in good time is better than flooding it with compliments every day.
Ground rules? Wait until it looks like he needs it, but compliment him every now and then for no reason
Step 3. Compliment your current partner
The best way to compliment is to make it look like you've just noticed something and it leaves your mouth open before you think twice. If your partner does something you love, compliment him or her. If you suddenly think, "I'm attracted to his eyes today", tell him about it. There is no better time than now.
Step 4. Send compliments even when he's not with you
An unexpected compliment can make a good gift for the whole day. Of course, you can overdo it and come off as too whiny, but a few unprovoked compliments can be a great way to show that you love him.
- Send a message of praise in the middle of the day.
- Leave a small message of praise in your partner's locker, or stick it on your refrigerator.
- If you're on a computer, open a chat page with random reminders throughout the day. It would mean a lot to him.
Step 5. Mix compliments
If you're always saying that your partner's bottom looks great in jeans, the compliments are meaningless. Just as you don't want to eat sandwiches every day for a year, don't say the same thing 50 times a month, especially to your partner. So, make various compliments. Praise different things and appreciate other things every time you are with him. This will make your relationship grow stronger.
Tips
- Try to practice when you are alone. This way, you won't be surprised that you stutter when he asks.
- Always look him in the eye when answering questions.
- Be honest. Women like men who have honest feelings.
- Feel free to ask him a similar question (after you've answered the question, of course). He probably only asked that question because he wanted you to ask a question back!
- Think about the reasons you are dating him. Is it because of his sense of humor? Or maybe his ability to attract the attention of many friends?
- Get ready. Don't let him ask you this tomorrow and you don't have anything to say.
