How to compliment a guy over text
It’s easier to compliment someone face-to-face. But don’t stop yourself from complimenting them over text. It’s important to keep the medium in view when you want to compliment someone on their looks or tell them that they are attractive. Text is different from talking.
The text does not indicate tone. Make sure that your compliments cannot be misinterpreted as sarcastic. Don’t be too bold on the screen just because you are feeling more confident than you normally would. Here are some examples that can help.
- Your handsome face is already missing.
- You were amazing in class!

Tips on Complimenting A Guy
It’s important to remember a few things when you compliment someone:
- Don’t be sarcastic with your compliments. If you seem not to mean it, a half-hearted compliment could be misunderstood. Do not tell a man he is the most beautiful man in the world unless you truly believe it.
- Consider your body language. The tone you use can influence whether or not he accepts the compliment. Keep your tone pleasant and free of sarcasm. Look him straight in the eye, smile and use a nice voice.
- Do not panic when there is a moment of silence as he takes in the compliment. Some people, especially shy and quiet types, may need time to digest the compliment.
- Do not make overtly sexist compliments when you’re not in a close relationship with him. This is particularly true if the man already has a girlfriend.
- If you’re aware that he doesn’t like receiving compliments from others, make sure to phrase your statements as beliefs rather than facts. You can debate whether “I think you are the smartest boy in class”, or “You are the smartest boy in class,” is a fact.
The Perfect Compliment to Make His Day
The majority of men enjoy receiving compliments. This is especially true when the compliments come from someone who they are attracted to. Give a compliment without expecting a reciprocal compliment. Instead, compliment someone because you truly mean it. You’ll make him feel special by showing that you mean it.
