Why won't he ever tell me I'm beautiful..?

[Anonymous]

He rarely compliments me on anything. He says that the fact that he talks to me should be signal enough that he's attracted to me. I sent him a pic asking him about an outfit, and he said it was "very pretty" and he's only ever said "when we met I thought you looked great". Are any of you guys like this? Does he not think I'm beautiful or is he just never going to say it? We've been seeing e/o for 1.5 months I feel in the dark.

Way too soon for you to expect so much from him.

Given time, he'll probably open up more when it comes to his feelings towards you, but be aware that there are some that just don't feel like expressing themselves through compliments towards you. Up to you how you take that.

I assumed that it's in the beginnings of relationships where both partners are most giving, as in compliments, etc. towards each other?

Actually I've come to realize that if it's especially in the beginning of a relationship that the two are complimenting left and right, it's gonna burn out just as quick. Absolutely no rush, everything in it's due & natural time.

Should I mention to him that I feel like he doesn't even like me? Or just let it go in the path it's supposed to?

[Asker]

I've already mentioned to him that he makes me feel like I'm in the dark all the time. Nothing's improved.

I don't think you should bring it up now. Just enjoy your time with him for now, but this is probably something to keep an eye on because even though I've already explained my viewpoint, it still sucks to be with someone like this who doesn't make you feel nice.

I used to be like that to girls in relationships but I've learned it's selfish. Never again.

[Asker]

Can I ask why? Is it just how you re naturally or is there some tactic behind it?

[USGrant]

A little of both. Having been in a lot of relationships it felt almost fake saying time and again "you're beautiful", "I love you", etc, to each girl so I'd stop doing that with relationships after a while. It also got tacky seeing others say it in their shallow/new relationships. It would also make the woman keep wanting and trying for more. It's not right, I'm not proud of it, and it's selfish. If I love, admire, and appreciate a girl, I'm telling her that from now on. Anything else is unfair.

my opinion I don't think he wants to be with you, its not the fact that your not beautiful, I think he's avoiding that word because he doesn't want to break your heart

[Asker]

hes the one that comes keep coming after me, even though I told him once I didn't want to be with him... I'm so confused. thanks though +1 :)

hmm interesting, my suggestion is play hard to get, don't put the effort in , make him put the effort in. don't tell him, don't do anything and see what he does for you, if he wants to be with you he will make you feel special.
