How Do You Compliment a Guy?
I just started talking to this guy. I really like him and I think he likes me. We're hanging out again tomorrow. I know what guys can tell girls that make them feel good.. but what do guys like to hear?

We are all different of course, but actually I think a lot of guys are suckers for compliments. Myself included lol. But it should be genuine you know, otherwise its going to seem forced and he might see through it.
So, if you like something about the guy then just mention it in passing. You know, like "hey, thats a heck of a grip you got there" :D
What is important is to stay away from girly compliments. Avoid words like "pretty", "dainty", "cute" (in many contexts anyway) etc. Also if the compliment were to be aimed at something he does then it will probably go down even better. If he is totally into a sport for example he probably will like the ego boost. We can be a bit shallow that way sometimes hehe. Its one reason guys take it up a notch when girls are watching, even though they know deep down that 90% of the time they couldn't care less about the sport.
One rule of thumb, most guys like to feel "manly". So think of the things that define him as a man- or rather the things that he percieves define him as a man, and you are on the right track. Then keep the compliments genuine and don't make a big deal out of them.
Good luck.

nothing. I personally hate compliments, they make me look inwards and flag all the occasions when the statement was not true. though I am partial to "cute ass, soldier boy". but thats probably because its not a personality trait. girls have long nails for a reason, neck and back scratches are the best compliment I can take. general compliments about strength, having him open your beer bottles, jelly jars, etc. will go a long way, because that is manly, and most dudes aspire to be ALL THAT IS MAN!
