Hey! So I’ve been dating a guy for around 1.5 months now, and he’s really nice, handsome, intelligent, and we have lots in common… So all going well! I called him handsome the other day on text (not for the first time) and he asked me to call him that more often. I found that a little cringey and struggled to know what to reply because surely you’d want compliments to be natural; not because you’ve asked for them.
I’m naturally a very complimentary person, and I’ll comment on clothing, smell, looks etc because I like to make people feel good about themselves. He sent me a couple of photos recently and I messaged back about them and ‘hearted’ (liked them with heart) them on WhatsApp but I didn’t compliment his appearance, to which he replied that he thought I’d have said something about him ie. his appearance. I’m just finding it a bit odd. Do you think he’s self conscious maybe? I don’t want to feel pressured to constantly need to reassure someone that I find them attractive and have to compliment him all the time. I find this really strange because he’s insanely attractive (like a 10!! Perfect (for me anyway😅) teeth, height, his face is like a models, he’s fit, even dresses really well etc). Just want to make sure this isn’t a red flag because I’m very good at missing those😂🚩
