23 Best Lines Women Love Hearing

These are the best compliments for girls because they just make her feel good. They're not too cheesy or forward, so you can use them confidently.

Most of the time, the best approach to complimenting someone is just being direct. Sure, an indirect compliment can be useful, but if you're going to do something, why not go all the way with it? As long as you don't come on too strong, a compliment is a kind gesture that can really brighten her day.

Don't expect her to immediately jump into your arms. Your goal is to plant a seed that may blossom into romance eventually. These are compliments, not pick-up lines.

When in doubt, slip these compliments subtly and naturally into conversation when it feels right. You can also compliment a girl out of nowhere, but that's a bigger move. Start slow, gauge her reaction, and then decide how to proceed for the next time. 

1. I always learn so much from you.

This is a great compliment because it shows that you value her beyond what's skin-deep. It also shows them that you appreciate them and their input, and can really help turn the gears in your relationship.

This is the best compliment to use naturally when you're joking around. It's subtle but it works. Everyone loves humor, and showing her you've got a good sense of it can really bring out a smile.

What, Exactly, Is A Compliment?

Before you get into all the details of how to compliment a girl, you have to understand what a compliment is.

The answer begins with the obvious: a compliment is mentioning something you admire about a girl, whether it's something she's wearing or a particular personal quality she has.

The deeper answer, though, is that a compliment highlights a quality you see that you feel is exceptional in some way. After all, you don't give a compliment for every decent outfit someone wears, only when it seems exceptional.

So, when you think about complimenting a girl, look for what about her you find exceptional. If you are interested in her, that shouldn't be too hard.

Why Is Complimenting A Girl So Important?

As the above definition shows, when you compliment a girl, you are telling her that some part of her, at least in your opinion, is exceptional. Something about her is above everyone else in that particular area.

That thing can be anything: her style, the way she does her job, her little fidgety habits, or yes, the way she looks in that dress.

Having a complimentary observation on one of those qualities is an excellent way to then slowly show how exceptional you think she is not just in that one particular way but in every way.

When you start getting into how to compliment a girl, you are really talking about how to open the door to telling a girl just why you like her.

How To Impress Her With Words: 7 Steps

How you compliment her matters as much as the compliments you use. Follow these steps to make every compliment a win.

1. Be Polite

The definition of a compliment is "a polite expression of praise or admiration." The last thing you want is to make her feel uncomfortable. Don't be too pushy.

Deliver your compliment, and if it sticks, that's awesome. If not, just move on. There are plenty of women out there who would love to be complimented by you.

2. Don't Overdo It

Have you heard the story of the boy who cried wolf? If you say something too often, it loses its meaning. Make every compliment count. If every sentence out of your mouth is a compliment, you're going to turn her off. Of course, if you're already in a relationship, there's no such thing as too many compliments.

3. Use Compliments In Relevant Situations

Context matters. Don't just say "I love your laugh" when she's sitting silently. Wait until you're joking around, and then say it casually. You want your compliments to feel like they're off-the cuff -- not rehearsed.

4. Be Bold

You can be both polite and bold. Sometimes girls like it when a guy is willing to take charge.

Yes, complimenting a girl is scary, but what's the worse that could happen? As long as you stick with rule #1, she has no reason to be anything but flattered. Be kind, brave, and genuine, and you should have nothing to worry about.

5. Be genuine.

Don't just compliment her on what you think she wants to hear, compliment her on something you genuinely feel yourself. Find a quality or characteristic that you really like about her and tell her so.

With compliments, the genuineness and intent is often what matters most, even more than the compliment itself.

6. Don't go for the obvious compliment, go for the one no one ever says.

If she has incredible eyes, don't go with the eyes for your compliment. Everyone she's ever talked to has said that. Find something smaller, more subtle about her, and compliment that to get more of a reaction.

7. Follow it up with a good conversation topic.

A good compliment can definitely open her up, but it can also make things awkward if you don't have something else to talk about.

Don't let your conversation fall into awkward silence. Have some of our conversation starters or questions to ask ready to transition into a topic where you can really get to know one another.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it common for girls to receive more compliments than guys?

If you ask me, then yes, it is. Girls tend to enjoy compliments more than guys. If you're looking for proof, look no further than when you compliment the girl you like - she'll respond much better than if she complimented you, instead.

How well should you know a girl before you start to give her compliments, for instance, on her look or her eyes, etc.?

Give it a few months of knowing her, after you've talked with her for a lengthy period of time. It hits the best when you two have known each other for a while - if you're still just acquaintances, it'll seem more like flattery than something genuine. To start on that path, try these get to know you questions.

If a girl texts you ‘thanks’ after a compliment, what do you respond with?

There are a few options for responses: usually it's "you're welcome."  But you can say something like "It's the truth," affirming that you really meant what you said. Here's what to text her in the first place!

How do girls differentiate between genuine compliments and flirting?

What says they can't be both? But to answer this question, girls find compliments more genuine if they're said unprompted, or out of the blue - if she's talking about her appearance and you follow up, she might consider it flirtatious than genuine.

Is it weird if I compliment a girl with a boyfriend?

If it's strictly platonic compliments, then no, it isn't. But do try not to compliment her when her boyfriend's in the room, at least. You don't want to upset anyone, do you?
