Complimenting your boyfriend makes him realize how much you like him. Plus, it can strengthen your bond and create positive feelings. By complimenting his appearance, his personality, choosing words well and communicating them correctly, you can make him feel special and appreciated.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Compliment Your Appearance
Step 1. Compliment him on his face
Your boyfriend's face is an important aspect of his person. By expressing appreciation for his eyes, smile, or overall beauty, you can let him know how attractive you find him. The most effective compliments are those that highlight unique elements of her appearance.
- You can say "I love the freckles around your mouth" or "Your eyes have the most amazing shade of green I've ever seen."
- Consider that some men are made uncomfortable by compliments, so pay attention to your boyfriend's response. If he ignores the appreciation or puts on a weird expression, he probably doesn't like being complimented.
Step 2. Compliment her body for fueling her self-esteem
You can talk about his shoulders, abs, arms, or whatever part you like, to let him know how attractive you find him. You can express your appreciation even if he is not a bodybuilder.
- You can say "Your shoulders look so strong today" or "Wow, you have great abs".
- If your boyfriend is not very muscular, you can tell him "I like your soft hands when you massage my shoulders".
Step 3. Appreciate your fitness
Many men work hard to sculpt their bodies in the gym. Compliment your boyfriend on his physical progress, so he knows you appreciate his strength and health.
- You can say "Your body is great. All those shots really hit" or "You looked really cool when you climbed that rock face."
- If your boyfriend has lost a lot of weight thanks to the gym, appreciate his progress. You can say "Wow, that shirt looks great on you. It shows all your efforts."
Step 4. Praise his style
Whether your boyfriend prefers skinny jeans or flannel shirts (or both), he probably goes to great lengths to look after his style. You can show him how attracted you are to his look by complimenting him on a particular piece of clothing. You can also positively comment on her general style choices.
You can say, "That jacket looks great with those pants. Do you model in your free time?" or "The color of that scarf really makes your eyes stand out. It looks great on you."
Step 5. Appreciate the way you style your hair
Some men spend a lot of time on hair and beard care. If you like this particular about your boyfriend, you can let him know with a compliment. Praise her new cut, hairstyle, or color to let her know you notice these little details.
You can say "I really like your new beard. It's sexy!" or "Your new short cut is sexy, it makes you look like Brad Pitt."
Step 6. Let him know it turns you on
Whatever physical characteristics of your boyfriend you find attractive, many men like to know they make you horny. Enrich compliments on your boyfriend's appearance by telling him how sexy you find him. Make sure the comments are sincere or they might seem forced and embarrass them.
You can say "Your eyes are beautiful. I want you to kiss me right away", or "You make me very excited when you smile."
Method 2 of 4: Compliment Personality
Step 1. Tell him how it makes you feel
Your boyfriend chose you because he likes you. By telling him how you feel about him, you can strengthen your bond and make him feel loved. You can focus on how he communicates with you, how he takes care of you, or just let him know that you believe in him.
You can say, "I feel so confident with you. Thank you for loving me" or "I love how we communicate on difficult topics. I love you and trust you blindly."
Step 2. Admire her talent
Whether your boyfriend's skills are musical or culinary, think of a compliment on them to make him happy. Find ideas by thinking about his hobbies and passions. If they've used their qualities to do something nice for you, it's a great opportunity to show your appreciation.
You can say "The song you played for me was beautiful. You are a great writer" or "The birthday cake you made for me was the best I ever ate. Can you teach me how to cook like you?"
Step 3. Compliment him on how he behaves around others
By praising his manners, you can let him know that you consider him sweet and generous. If he is good to relatives, colleagues or friends, your attention will make him understand that you care about his private life. You could also encourage him to be more sensitive and kind in your relationship.
You can say, "I know you didn't want to take your brother to the movies, but it was a really nice gesture. I appreciate your kindness" or "It was really thoughtful of you to send your colleague a note when his mother died."
Step 4. Appreciate his friends
Many men see their friends as an extension of themselves. By appreciating them, you can make your boyfriend realize how much you like him. This way he will know that the people who are important to him are important to you too.
You can say "Your friend Michele is so nice. I understand why you are friends" or "It's nice to meet your friends. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with me."
Step 5. Acknowledge his efforts
Even when he fails to get promoted or gets a bad grade, you can let him know you appreciate his commitment. Compliment him for all the time he's spent working on something, even when it's not successful.
You can say "I know you weren't chosen for promotion, but your presentation was really brilliant" or "I know you're disappointed that you only took 22 on the chemistry exam, but I found your report to be truly excellent."
Step 6. Compliment her sense of humor
Your boyfriend probably likes to make you laugh. By letting him know that you find him funny, you will fuel his self-esteem and make him feel good. You can make a positive comment on a joke, imitation, or just its comedic timing.
You can say, "That spider joke you told at the campsite was hilarious. I love it when you make me laugh" or "Your Vasco Rossi imitation is perfect! You are really talented."
Method 3 of 4: Create a Good Compliment
Step 1. For more impact choose a very specific element
Try to use as much detail as possible when complimenting your boyfriend. Being specific allows you to create a personal and unique comment for him, instead of something you could tell everyone.
There's nothing wrong with telling your boyfriend that he has beautiful eyes, but it's not as special as telling him that his beautiful blue eyes remind you of the lake near your hometown
Step 2. Try to find an original compliment
Some compliments, such as "You have a beautiful smile", are very common. This does not mean that they are not true, but the best compliments are ones that the person has never heard before. An original touch makes a eulogy unique and special.
Instead of "You have a beautiful smile", you can say "I love the dimple that comes on your right cheek when you smile."
Step 3. Be honest
Giving a compliment doesn't allow you to look fake and dishonest. If you don't really want to make a positive comment to your boyfriend about something, avoid making an effort. A false appreciation does not sound good to the ears of the recipient. If you really believe what you say, your boyfriend will appreciate the intention, even if you're nervous and don't use the right words.
- Try not to be blocked by searching for the right words. Thought is what matters.
- Remember that it is better to give a general compliment than to remain silent. That way you will at least show that you are looking for the right words.
Step 4. Avoid belittling other people with your compliments
It can be counterproductive to praise your boyfriend by disparaging someone else, especially if they are a loved one. Plus, you can make him jealous when you compare him, albeit in a positive way, to men you've dated in the past. Try not to compare yourself to your compliments. You should make a comment about him and make him feel good.
Remember to keep the compliments just for the two of you and personalize them according to your boyfriend's qualities
Method 4 of 4: Refine the Exposure
Step 1. Find the right time to compliment
Your boyfriend will appreciate your words more if he has the time to talk to you. Avoid praising him during stressful projects or when he needs to focus. The ideal opportunity is a quiet moment in the car or at home.
Step 2. Smile at him while talking to him
With a smile you let your boyfriend know that you are sincere, and you will also give him warmth. Especially if you feel nervous when you want to compliment him, a happy smile can make yourself more comfortable too.
Step 3. Look him in the eye
Make eye contact with your boyfriend as you compliment him, so he knows he has your full attention. This way he will feel appreciated and will strengthen the bond between you two.
Step 4. Don't compliment him too much, or your words will start to be worth less
Anything we do too often can lose its meaning. Try to compliment your boyfriend when it feels natural to you and only when you really think so. This way your comments will always be authentic and meaningful.
Step 5. Add a warm gesture to get the message across
Kisses, caresses and hugs are all perfect gestures to show your affection. Pair them with the compliment and your boyfriend will understand that the praise and your love are sincere. It can be enough simply to touch the arm to transform a spontaneous comment into a meaningful and loving sentence.
