so whats the rule on bigger compliments such as gorgeous and beautiful out of the 2 month period ive been dating a girl ive never called her beatiful and only gorgeous once and in a flirtatious type way of way because im just not sure on this. whats the rule on this stuff fellas?
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
The Rule on Compliments?
- Thread starter Stingers
- Start date
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I don't see a problem with complimenting her as long as you are doing it because you want to and not to gain her approval. In other words, don't expect it to increase her attraction to you. But it may please her to think that you appreciate her.
The primary danger here is boosting her ego to the point where she thinks she can do better than you. But if she's that type of girl, better to find out earlier than later.

flattery= dishonest comment on something that people already know about themselves (e.g: beauty, hair,clothes...etc)
compliment/praise = sincere original comment...it is earned
source: how to win friends and influence people

You can surely do it, but keep it limited. You can later increase it, only if you mean it, when she proves her longevity. That ʂhit goes to their head quicker than JD on an empty stomach.

When I compliment a girl I make sure not to give the compliment directly to her if she is the type to let that get to her head.
That dress looks great on you!
is very different from:
You are beautiful!
Generally girls that are not so hot looking do better at receiving compliments.
The really good looking girls rarely get compliments from me... ever. It just gets to their heads and makes them more difficult to manage. I have known some girls that within 15 minutes of a compliment just have to crack an attitude because of it.
To compliment her directly is a form of worship and all women are allergic to a man worshiping them.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
