My new boyfriend is great. He's trustworthy, reliable and completely sweet. The only thing I find odd is that he hasn't told me I'm beautiful or anything like that. It's not that I'm not, so I don't understand why he gives me NO compliments. I know his actions are worth more than his words, but it would be nice to get a compliment sometimes. What do you think about this?

most men knows deep down that u r hot, but they don't say anything. They do it all the time. I think it is an ego thing. Also, he is probably annoyed that u r looking good and knows that other men are going to respond! U go gurl!

If u already know ur beautiful why does he have to tell u? I know compliments are very sweet, but he's obviously with u because he thinks ur a fox. Actions speak louder than words, if he treats u beautifully, then why does he have to say anything, people tell their girlfriends/boyfriends nice things all the time and dont mean them. I think the problem is u dont think ur all that beautiful, thats why u have to have someone tell u. I'm not tryin to be mean, but really think about this for a second.

It's not like it's mandatory for a boyfriend to compliment his girlfriend 24/7, is it? My only advice for this (other than to ignore it - maybe he's not comfortable complimenting you because he thinks you'll find it cheesy or something) is NOT to go fishing for compliments (Don't say "Do you like this dress?" or anything like that). That will just turn him off. If I were you I would just try and focus on the nice things that he does rather than the fact that he doesn't compliment you. It's not THAT big of a deal if he's still really sweet, right?

I really know nothing about your boy friend or why, you know, no compliments come your way from him. Some guys do this on purpose as a means of control. As a woman whoes self worth is in question clings. You kow, how women have magazines on how to manage men? There are books, articles and radio programs on how to manage women. I feel bad about relating this to you because it seems to me like stiring up trouble where there may none.
I have read books on women too and what I heard is that you do say how nice she looks. Or rather you compliment her on her beauty or an aspect of it that she particulary cares about. For example, her tan. I don't have a girl friend and haven't had one for over 20 years. So you may want to consider that in anything I say.

You sound a little self-centered. Are you complimenting him?? Do you need compliments to effect how you feel and what type of person you are?? Get over yourself and be more open minded not everyone has to compliment you

no offense, but to me, it sounds like you're a little hard to please and that you need validation from your boyfriend. to quote you, "he's trustworthy, reliable, and completely sweet." do you realize just how rare guys like that are? relax, and don't worry about it, he'll probably come around. based on the fact that he's your "new" boyfriend, i'd assume you've only been out a few months, tops. he's still getting acclimated to the relationship. don't rush things. come back after at least six months and see what's changed.

Some guys are like that. Just tell him that you would like to hear a compliment once in a while.

When was the last time you gave HIM a compliment? Maybe he values things other than looks, like values or morals.

I don't mean to offend you, so please don't take it that way. But, constantly needing your ego stroked, is your issue, not his, or anyone elses. He is with you, because he chooses to be. The other stuff really doesn't matter, does it? He's with YOU. Are you with him only because of his looks? As humans, we are made up of so many other things. Try to find the beauty within yourself, not "about" yourself, and be happy that you have someone that seems to be really "in to" you. So many people would kill to have that. Be happy, and good luck.
