kristenpeekaboo Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 So, I've been dating this guy for about 2 months, and he is a great guy, the problem is, he just never compliments my looks. Whenever we go out, I spend forever trying to look my best for him. I even get compliments from other men, but not from my boyfriend. Is this normal? Or am i overreacting..?
LoveandSuch Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Hi, Hard to determine if it is a major red flag. He may be shy in giving compliments or may have underlining jealousy issues in which he refuses to allow you to feel wonderful, beautiful, and amazing for the evening. Do you wish to continue in a relationship that is unrewarding?
Author kristenpeekaboo Posted July 31, 2011 Author Posted July 31, 2011 Thank you, and i will definetly think it over..
Rinas Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 He's out with you, it's clear that he finds you to be attractive. Do you compliment him on his looks?
Lucky_One Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Some people just were not brought up with compliments and so they aren't in the habit of giving them. If you feel good about yourself and believe that you are attractive, I hardly think that the lack of compliments will lead to an "unrewarding" relationship. If he compliments other women consistently, then I would consider it a small issue, but I wouldn't make it a big deal until I talked to him about it and asked him what the deal was with complimenting other women and never complimenting me.
Ruby Slippers Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 I was with a guy like this once. It sucked. I'll never stay in a relationship like that again. It's better to be alone.
gameplace123 Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 I was with a guy like this once. It sucked. I'll never stay in a relationship like that again. It's better to be alone. Sounds like low self-esteem to me. I mean if you need to be TOLD you look petty.
Ruby Slippers Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 If a guy doesn't think his woman is pretty enough to compliment her about it from time to time, it's never going to last, anyway.
Feelsgoodman Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Sounds like low self-esteem to me. I mean if you need to be TOLD you look petty. If you read her other posts, RS comes across as someone who is extremely - I would say even pathologically - insecure. Such women are easy targets for guys who play on their emotions and sweet talk them with compliments...and then proceed with the typical pump and dump scenario.
