Wholesome Ways to Tell Her You Think She's Awesome
Giving
someone a compliment can
be a tricky proposition. While it’s true that everyone likes to feel nice about
themselves, sometimes, compliments can just make people feel worse.
Whether it’s
by making them feel embarrassed or self-conscious, or by overdoing it and
making them question your motives, it’s not too hard to turn a compliment into
a social faux pas.
The difficulty level can be turned up a notch when you’re a guy complimenting a woman. Your kind words could easily be interpreted as flattery designed to get you into her good graces — or her pants. And if she’s not looking for that kind of attention, or she’s simply not attracted to you, it can get awkward, fast.
So how do
you compliment a woman — especially a woman you’re interested in — without
making a cringe-worthy compliment
mistake
Below,
you'll find the top 10 compliments women can’t resist (and why you should start
using them ASAP).
“That was a
good one, you're so funny!”
Men are so preoccupied with the idea that they need to be the funny one in the relationship that they stifle their significant other’s attempts at humor. Sometimes, it can lead to an awkward dynamic where the girl feels under-appreciated because it seems like you’re always trying to outshine her.
If you show
sincere appreciation for her humor, she’ll warm up to you as a result.
Letting your
date, girlfriend,
or wife know you find her funny is usually best communicated by simply laughing
at her jokes, or responding with the cry-laugh emoji to her funny texts.
It can also be reinforced on occasion by letting her know in actual words (“you’re hilarious,” “you crack me up” or “you have such a sharp sense of humor”).
“I've
learned so much from talking with you.”
Everyone
likes to feel as though they bring valuable information to the table. Whether
your love interest is book smart or street smart, let them know that you value
their opinions and input, and are eager to learn from them.
Everyone
brings something to the table in terms of knowledge, so think carefully about
what your partner is teaching you, and compliment on that specifically so that
it's more genuine.
A more
tailored way of delivering this compliment is by relating it to taste, noting
that you appreciate what they watch, read, or listen to.
“You have
such incredible eyes/lips/hair.”
Telling a woman she's beautiful will usually be well-received, but it can be such a generic compliment that it occasionally comes across as a bit disingenuous. Go a step further by isolating her best features and targeting those specifically.
f she’s got
amazing, full lips, tell her so, or if she’s got gleaming white teeth, hone in
on that particular feature.
The more
specific you are, the better. It shows that you’re paying attention! It’s also
best to avoid focusing on cruder, more sexual body parts (her
boobs or ass, for example) unless you have an established relationship and are
sure that it won't come off as creepy.
Complimenting a woman on her skin, hair or nails, especially if they are
particularly clear, glossy and strong respectively, can be a good move, too.
A lot of
women put unheralded effort into those particular areas.
“I trust you
implicitly.”
Jealousy can
be an ugly dividing force in relationships, and if you have a tendency to let
the green-eyed monster run a little wild, you should take stock of your
partner’s loyalty. Compliment her for it!
After all,
unless you have actual evidence that she’s cheated on you, she will appreciate some
acknowledgment for staying true to you, especially if the norm for you is
suspicious text messages and thinly-veiled accusations of flirting. Even though
loyalty is something that should go without saying when you’ve committed to
someone, that doesn’t mean you can't show your gratitude for it.
“You’re not
like anyone I've ever met before.”
This is not
the same as saying, “you’re not like other girls,” which is unlikely to be well
received by self-respecting women.
“You’re not
like everyone else” acknowledges your significant other’s unique personality
quirks and reassures her that you find them endearing rather than weird. We’d
all like for our less conventional quirks and idiosyncrasies to be noticed and
appreciated, because it means that we’re valued for who we are, not just the
polished facade we adopt when we’re on our best behavior.
“You’re
really good at what you do.”
Whatever the
woman in your life does in terms of career, hobbies, or side hustles, chances
are she's looking to be noticed for her skills and success.
Pay
attention to the craft that matters most to her. There’s no point complimenting
her abilities at her 9-to-5 banking job if you know she finds it
soul-destroying, but a meaningful compliment about her art will show that you
care about the things she truly values.
A compliment
like this will set you apart and make her feel warm and fuzzy.
“I feel like I'm so much better when I'm with you.”
We’re often
complimented for fairly meaningless things in life: our outfits, external
attributes, or how nice the things we buy are.
It's very
satisfying to know that the person we're with appreciates us for so much more
than the physical stuff. It strikes at the core of who you are as a person and
your most selfless and very
best qualities. If you tell your partner that you feel like you're a
better person when they're around, it compliments them for being able to bring
out, or enhance, qualities you didn't know you had.
As cheesy as
it may sound, they're the other half that's capable of making you feel whole.
If you let your significant other know that, odds are she'll be left swooning.
“You’re one
of the sexiest women I've ever met.”
Keep this
one for after a few dates, so you don’t come off as overtly focused on sex.
If you’re in a relationship, there's a good chance your partner will want to be reassured that you find her attractive in a sexual way. Usually best for when you’re just about to get it on or when she’s looking and feeling her best, a “you’re so sexy”-style compliment like this can really be the icing on the cake to turn her on.
“You look
amazing, as always.”
If you're
not especially close yet, complimenting a woman’s appearance can be delicate
business. If you say something while she’s wearing a face full of makeup, she
may feel as though you don’t like the way she looks when she’s more dressed
down. Conversely, if you tell her you prefer her without makeup, she may take
that as a sign that you find her too dolled up on other occasions.
For this reason, it’s best to keep compliments about her looks a bit more general instead of specific. The last thing you want is for something you’ve intended as a positive statement to make her feel worse about her appearance. It's always a safe bet to say something such as, "you look great today,” or “you look amazing, as always.”

“You’re my
favorite person to spend time with.”
Telling
someone that you enjoy their company is about the simplest, sincerest
compliment on earth. It’s always great to hear from someone you’re seeing that
you’re their favorite person to spend time with.
Sometimes, long-term relationships lose their spark and passion that defines them early on. This can be a good way to reaffirm what your partner means to you, even if you’ve moved into comfortable, familiar territory.
Compliments
are a simple way to improve
your relationship while bolstering your partner's self-esteem. The key
with compliments is to make them thoughtful, specific, and related to things
other than looks. If you’re being genuine and pointing out aspects you truly
like about the person, you can’t go too wrong.
Be generous
with your verbal affection, and hopefully, she'll return the favor!
