Is it wrong to compliment a woman? Is it bad to show your interest or liking for her through compliments? The answer is no, it's not wrong, but you must be careful. Often a man will do one of three things wrong when trying to flatter the object of his affection. If you're not careful, your well-intentioned compliment will be taken wrongly and you're screwed. Here's where you can go wrong and how to avoid it.
Comments about Her Looks
I know this sounds crazy, but complimenting a woman on her appearance can be one of the worst things you can do. I know, I know, I'm nuts, right? Well, I can explain. Women receive appearance compliments all the time, so they scrutinize the compliment, going under the surface to find out what you're really after. If she figures you're only complimenting her to get her into bed, stick a fork in yourself because you're done. On the opposite end, if she has low self-esteem caused by her own view of her looks, she will likely think you're complimenting her because you feel sorry for her. Again, get the fork out because you're done. Instead, compliment her on her personality for example, something about her and the way she acts that you genuinely find attractive.
It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It
You don't have to be Casanova, but you have to be smooth somewhat. If your timing is bad, the compliment won't be well-received and you likely won't be seen as sincere or if you just break out with a compliment, you may embarrass her. A good way to put a compliment in is to present it as something that just popped in your mind that you wanted to say while you are talking about something else. This way you show that you wanted to let her know that, and interrupted yourself to do it. This makes it on-the-fly and instills some genuineness.
Don't Explain It
If you compliment a woman and feel like many guys do, that it came out wrong, or maybe that a different meaning was attached, you may feel the need to explain what you meant by what you said. Don't do that! If she did take it the wrong way, let her know that you were trying to compliment her and keep on with the conversation. It is awkward when your attempt at a compliment goes awry, but just let that one awkward moment pass and keep on talking. Laugh at yourself and admit that you goofed. Avoid these errors and you will be able to compliment her without her feeling uncomfortable.
