sweet things to say


Question Posted Monday June 18 2007, 10:47 pm

my boyfriend gives me compliments all the time, and they're always sweet. i'm completely unused to getting compliments and i rarely ever give them, and i can't think of anything to say. any ideas of serious compliments that don't sound to corny or rehearsed. i just want to be able to say something. everytime i try it comes out sounding bad. plz help me with ideas.

Just say whatever comes to mind. The more you worry about saying something back the longer it's going to take for you to find the right words. Some people don't even use words to compliment. Compliments are understood by their actions. If he compliments you then it means he appreciates you and you don't have to stress over not knowing what to say back. (: Hope I helped.

Well, first of all, its important to know the difference between a compliment and flattery. A compliment is when you tell someone something that you really, truly admire about them. If you're saying something nice just to get brownie points or make them like you more, that's flattery. People can't always tell the difference, but sometimes they can, and they'll know you aren't really being sincere.

Knowing that... complimenting someone you actually admire is pretty easy. Just think of the things that you really like about them... and then tell them! If you're being honest, it shouldn't sound rehearsed or corny. But if you have trouble putting it into words, try starting with the following phrases:

"I love the way you..."
"I've always admired how you...."
"I think it's so awesome that you...."
"It makes me feel so good when you..."
"You're always so good at...."

Compliments are best when they come out of the blue, rather than right after someone has complimented you. And don't worry about not doing it enough... if you rarely give compliments, it will mean even more when you do give one!
