He rarely compliments me, why??

My bf is the same way. He used to tell me every time he saw me that I looked great or I was beautiful. Almost a year later the last time I heard anything was on Christmas day. Lol, it’s just something I have decided not to worry about. It used to bother me especially when I spent an hour just trying to figure out what to wear to dinner, but I know he loves me and he is always very affectionate. So I guess that’s just one of those little things I have to let go of. I’m sure there are things that bug him about me and he doesn’t harp on. It’s a give and take. Don’t worry, I’m sure he notices. If he grabs your hand when you go somewhere and makes it known you are with him, or when you guys are hanging out with friends and he has his arm around you. Those are little ways he is pretty much telling you he thinks your hot and he’s proud to be with you without the words actually being spoken. Besides actions speak louder than words!

That only works if he doesn’t hate notes like that. We had a little fight in the house when my one house mate left a note for the other asking him to remove something. He got very Mad because he grew up in a household where post-it notes used to tell someone else what to do are regarded as uncooth and disrespectful. So now the post-it are only used to mark which food his whose and asking to clean sth up or do sth goes by mouth or text at best.

So make sure he didn’t grow up in a family where post-its are impolite.

My bf of 2+ years very rarely says it – mostly when he’s had a few- I know I’m attractive, ransom people will tell me when we’re out. I think maybe he doesn’t want me to get arrogant or think I can do better than him?
It’s odd.
I generally compliment myself (wow, I look great tonight! Or this skirt makes me look good) and of course I always compliment him. I also say – that was nice of that girl to say I looked cute with my hair like this, compliments are great!
Some guys though…. Who knows.

Funny isn’t it how some guys just can’t/won’t express things in a way that we need lol but I think he’s expressing it HIS way and it’s merely up to you to receive his ‘compliments’ that he’s giving you through his actions. Men don’t rely on words so much, it’s more showing how they feel than saying it.

My boyfriend compliments from my mascara to my eyeshadow color and technique to my perfect french manicure/pedicure. He is VERY into details and notices EVERYTHING! What I’m teying to say is that this is due to his strongest quality–details.

Me? HA! He went unshaved for few days and shaved and was sad I did not notice! He also shaved his mustache in the morning and by 12am said he was sad I did not say anything about it–well, I did not notice! LOL!!! I kiss and look at him at a lot–l look at him like he’s an unicorn but I don’t really notice things too much.

I’m making the effort to notice and say it–give him more compliments about what *he wants* me to notice.

Lola, could it be because opposites attract? Maybe is because men like to chase? It sure is boring to have someone pleasing you ALL the time because that means they are not being trully themselves. Relationships gotta have polarity to create attraction.
