How do I get enough courage to give a compliment to a girl I really like?

Question

I have no idea how she feels about me. I can hold a conversation, but cant say compliments when I have chances. I'm in 7th grade, so keep it simple!

Answer 1

the best thing you could ever complimena girl for is her hair.. i love it when i get complimented on a good or bad hair day. dont worry if the girl has a bad hair day the day u want to say it. just when u talk to her say.. " Hey, By the way, Ur hair looks really nice today." it will give her sunshine when its rainy outside..
it works with every boy with me. try it out.. dont be afraid pretend like he's just a friend and you dont think ANYTHING more of her! its simple..

Answer 2

Giving a compliment should be the easiest thing and more so when it is to the person that you really like. 99.9% of girls, and boys too would like to hear that in some way or other. So even if you do not have the courage to do so, it seems that you have won half the battle. The other half is your actual event, where you could make it easier for you by selecting the best that you feel of her or something that she is using and just say it in the most natural way as you would to any other person in your family or friends circle. And I am sure you would have the best experience that you are really looking forward to. And the first experience would be the green light for many more to follow. So do not hesitate any further, go ahead and enjoy.

Start with something small and specific.

And if your pay her several compliments, and you're worried this is bothering her, ASK if it bothers her. WORST CASE:

She says yes. If that happens, smile and very pleasantly say you're sorry, then STOP. After what feels like a lot of time has gone by (but may only be a couple of months), you can ask her if she still doesn't want compliments from you.

It's really not hard to strike a balance between being pleasant and accomodating and still not being a wimp. Really. Don't worry about that part at all. As long as you're not a jerk, there's nothing else real to fear.

Answer 4

Well, if your guy friends influence how you act around girls, compliment her when they aren't near you. A simple "your hair looks cool (or whatever lingo teens use these days)" or "that's a nice sweater you're wearing...the color compliments your eyes", something simple, basic, yet complimentary. Just take the jump and speak to her. The worst she could do is what? You will like alot of different girls for the next few years, so if you don't get anywhere with her, move on. Basically, just use eye contact, mind your manners, be respectful, and say nice things!! (Smile too!)

Answer 5

Think about the very worst thing that could happen if you complimented her. Your front tooth falls out, your tongue gets caught in a nostril. You clumsily fall into her chest. She spits in your face. She laughs at you. You calls you bad names.

Once you have pictured the very worst consequences, relax and think of the fun and comedy that would incite!

Practice giving sincere and timely compliments to people around you. "Dad-I like those new glasses!" "Mom, you always look good in that color." "Sis, I like you alot better when you aren't taking food off my plate."

With a tiny bit of practice and a look at the possible consequences......you should be able to give the compliments easier when you want to.

Good Luck!

Answer 6

The best thing to do would just write her a note. And in the note, tell her you are nervous, and don't know how she feels about you.

Say something like this -

"Hey _______, I was way to nervous to tell you I like you, because someone as beautiful as you, can be pretty intimidating. I wan't to be friends more then anything, and didn't want to scare you off, or think im obsessed with you"

You can say something like that, and if you want, change it around a little bit.

If you choose not to do that, when I was in 7th grade, when I would say hi to a girl I liked, all I would say for hi was "hey beautiful". They love it!

Somethin' like that will work great.

Or, one day, right when you see her, just be like "WOW - YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL TODAY". And just act like you are astonished as to how good she looks.

Hope this helps in some way, it helped for me when I was your age (3 years ago)

Answer 7

You are experiencing what every young person does. Lack of self confidence. Practice with a mirror or perhaps your Mohter.

Start with a simple, easy compliment like "wow your smile brightens the room" or "cute top." Smile and walk away so she does not see if you are uncomfortable.

Promise things do get easier.

Answer 8

Dude, its no big deal. No need to work yourself up and go crazy over it.

When you are talking to her just say "wow your hair looks really pretty today!" or "I really like you in blue" or "you have the best smile!" You want to give a compliment but nothing that could EVER be perceived as inappropriate, sexual, or overly flirtatious. So you avoid comments on her body, any body parts and you treat her always like a lady. :)

Answer 9

Im in 7th grade too ^_^
I also have a friend that i bet is like that
All i can say is hope for the best and just go out and do your best.
We recently had a Valenine Dance and my friend had the courage to ask the girl he liked to dance with him.
So just try your best!

Answer 10

Well alot of girls just like it when a guy will even smile at her. That is a compliment to most girls. So if you can do that much then your on your way up there! Good luck!
