Delivering a great compliment will help you break from regular conversation and create a deeper connection. Follow these 4 tips to deliver more meaningful, memorable, and effective flattery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #1: Consider timing.<br>\n<\/strong>Delivering a compliment at the beginning of your date will help set the tone of the evening. She spent time getting ready for you, so take a moment to acknowledge the way she looks. The quick feedback will help ease any initial awkwardness and help you both relax. No need to make a grand statement or lay it on thick. A simple remark will perform beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jim Halpert: \u201cYou look really pretty. It\u2019s good to see you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Don Draper: \u201cYou are the most beautiful woman in this room. And you\u2019re here with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #2: Make it meaningful.<br>\n<\/strong>The worst kind of compliment is a fake one. If you&#8217;re complimenting her to win her affection, you&#8217;ll fall short. Instead, only say something when you are genuinely impressed. Don&#8217;t make up lines or repeat something you&#8217;ve heard, tell her how you really feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jim Halpert: &#8220;I think you have a really nice laugh. I want to tell you funny stories just to hear it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Don Draper: \u201cWith a laugh like that, no wonder everyone loves being around you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #3: Notice something subtle.<br>\n<\/strong>If you noticed her smile immediately, chances are, the other guys did too. Make your compliments stand out. Focus on something less obvious like her voice, her dimples, or her curls; bring up her unique features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, if she remembers your compliment, she&#8217;s more likely to remember you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jim Halpert: \u201cI like your braids\u2014they look cute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Don Draper: \u201cWear your hair like that again. I like seeing your shoulders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #4: Notice her unique abilities.<br>\n<\/strong>Go beyond her physical attributes and focus on other ways she stands out. Find out how she achieves her success and build your compliments around these meaningful traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jim Halpert: \u201cYou planned another field trip? I bet all your third graders love you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Don Draper: \u201cI&#8217;m impressed you can manage so many children and their parents. It takes a special person to handle that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some No No\u2019s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Commenting on her lady parts is not sexy. \u201cWow, great rack!\u201d is tacky and inappropriate.<br>\n&#8211; Don\u2019t compliment more than one thing at a time\u2014you&#8217;ll seem desperate and slimy.<br>\n&#8211; Do not force a compliment. If she\u2019s digging for validation, don\u2019t give in. Take your time and come up with something meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last tip: After the compliment, don\u2019t stand there awkwardly or wait for her to reciprocate. Keep the conversation going as if nothing ever happened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tell her what she really wants to hear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":12282,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[885,974],"tags":[759,760],"class_list":["post-4791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dating-advice-men","category-flirting","tag-hetero","tag-men"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Compliments for a Girlfriend: 4 Tips Every Man Should Know<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Want to know how to compliment your girlfriend?
