Op, a proper compliment, the only compliment really, is an honest one.
You know objectively that he doesn't love you, but you like the sound of it.
If you feel good when someone says things like this, which can't possibly be honest, it suggests you have very very low self esteem and will hang on to any 'compliment' or false compliment.
That is really dangerous territory and makes you very vulnerable to abusers.
They only have to say a few meaningless words which you will hang on to.
Please please get some help, if you can't fund it, spend some time alone, you must learn to not fall for this shit.
