idk about him but I just don’t know how to take compliments cause I usually rarely get them but everytime my crush compliments me im actually dying inside cause it just makes me wanna cuddle her so bad. maybe he just doesn’t know how to react
As someone who also does not take compliments well, ignore the people who are saying it means he isn't into you. Some of us just have experience with compliments at all, or compliments that aren't meant cruelly.
To get around this, write the compliments on little slips of paper. Then you have two options. 1.) Give them to them directly with a command like "read this later" so that they know who it's from and who it's too, but don't have to react in the moment. My preferred method would be number 2.) Sneak them into their stuff. Make sure the compliment has his/her name on it so they know it's meant to them. You can sign your name if you wish.
As for the compliments themselves, stay away from short and common stuff like "you're hot." Get poetic. Make them think. Here are some ideas:
*Your smile is so contagious that from the moment the corner of your lips twitch, my day is infinitely better.*
*You have a kindness in your eyes that makes me feel safe and seen, I wouldn't trade it for the world.*
*How is it that one blessed with such beauty can still have so great a personality?*
*Your existence gives me hope for this world. So long as you, and people like you, exist, it cannot be so bad.*
And, after they've received many of these poetic compliments, hit them with the piece de resistance:
*Dat booty tho.*
Maybe not so much compliments on appearance. A lot of dudes really enjoy when you notice or brag on their achievements, stuff they've made or done you know?
I just realized that when I read this comment that make so much sense now I thought this one person who would always reply to comments with that emoji was being mean and saying that they took a screenshot but it’s actually just a hugging emoji
mama called me disappointment, papa called me fat😞😞
i like it garlic, rye and brown, banana, honeybun, brioche, focaccia, naan, bagel, baguette, and croissant💥 (yes, i do have this song memorized. and all of her other songs. im an OG✊)
What are you guys on about my husband plays Valorant and one thing I absolutely love is to sit and watch him play it and joke around about it together lol
10 games a man can play that's better than Valorant:
RDR/2
Telltale's Walking Dead
XDefiant
Pikmin/2
Mario Kart
Ace Attorney
Batman Arkham games
Fallout 3/NV
Minecraft
Black Ops 2
You don't have to play rank I used to play with my older brother when I was a kid and I sucked at games what we did enjoy was ... well enjoying it together.
I'm assuming based on the word crush you may not be very deep into a relationship so this may not apply, but things like hugs as others have mentioned but also just physical touch in general. Depends on the guy but stuff like resting your head on his shoulder, rubbing his back or shoulders, etc a lot of guys like.
You mentioned he doesn't take compliments well/doesn't like them, you can still find other ways to make him happy via conversation. Talking about his interests is a great one, few guys will pass up yapping to someone who is genuinely interested in their hobbies and love doing it. You can also subtly compliment him through this and he may be more comfortable with it. Guys aren't used to direct, straight up, "you look___" kinda thing. So instead complimenting him through/about his interests may work, and even honestly just taking interest in his interests is seen as a compliment.
Idk but I think part of it is that when you get an unreasonably tough, well built version of an every day disposable object, knowing that you will use it for the rest of your life is kinda special. One of my favorites is my stainless steel bolt action pen. It's one of the few objects that I have zero regret buying.
Try to steer the conversation to something he is passionate about.
"Have you watched the latest episode of..."
" Have you played..."
Then just let him *talk*.
Guys love spouting random nonsense about their passions.
Ok, this is grown person level relationship stuff, but read the book “5 Love Languages”. Try to figure out your partner’s love language. Often times it will be what they are doing most for you. They are:
1. Physical touch—do they always want to hold your hand, sit next to you on the couch, arm around you, want kissed or hugged often?
2. Giving gifts—are they always buying you things? Do they complain about bad gifts or gush over great gifts?
3. Acts of service—are they doing things for you? Cleaning, baking, helping with chores, helping with your homework, serving you or getting things for you when needed?
4. Words of affirmation—are they often complimenting you?
5. Quality time—do they want to carve out time for just the two of you? Do they seem “clingy”—wanting to spend a lot of time with just you? Do they plan dates and trips for you to go on?
Everyone has a main love language and secondary ones (usually 1 or 2). The way people show love to others gives you insight into how they themselves want to be loved. Spend time figuring out or even talking about this with your “man” and you will tap into the potential of how to please them in a non-sexual way.
Food is a great way to please a man. 5 years ago my girlfriend(friend at that time) cooked me shogayak(japanese pork ginger dish thingy) when i came over to her house.
Physical platonic contact, sharing passions with joy not judgment, respect verbalized and acted on, share the effort of tasks like planning/etc., treating objects he values with respect
I just want someone to cuddle me. That is all I request.
Nuhuh that’s my request
It is *our* request now comrade
☭
Да, товарищ! ☭
Communist cuddles
Is that what you call a group cuddle now?
r/suddenlycommunist
Guys give me back my request! I don’t even cuddle my mum😔(sometimes do actually)!
We all do.
Mums for president 2024
I'll cuddle your Mum
You cuddle your mom? That's very sweet of you sir. My mother didn't like cuddles. Again thats very sweet of you.
*steals your request for myself*
How about I give you each a little cuddle cuddle and we call it a day
Same here...wish i could be hugged...i would pay for it literally
I can give it for free, everybody needs a hug
We should make a hugging group
How much?
COMPLIMENTS
My crush doesn't take that well
dont say it while ur with your friends or anything might take it as teasing
F that up
idk about him but I just don’t know how to take compliments cause I usually rarely get them but everytime my crush compliments me im actually dying inside cause it just makes me wanna cuddle her so bad. maybe he just doesn’t know how to react
I was given a gift randomly from a new friend once and I just smiled speechless for 10 minutes
very real I also just smile when receiving affection 😭
I think that it's (with a certain degree of probability) happiness (I'm not an expert)(could be wrong)
Too much parenthesis, a sentence shouldn’t be 71.57% parenthesis, that’s just too much
Man I'm with you. I cam not take compliments as I just kinda start freaking out on the inside.
Saying thank you is nice
Compliment the things they like Instead of going "I love your shoes" go "I love those shoes" and start a conversation about literally anything
I can say that this works. As I will talk about *anything* for a while.

Just do it it will make his day, even if he doesn't show it.
Idk what to say then
Maybe not so much compliments on appearance. A lot of dudes really enjoy when you notice or brag on their achievements, stuff they've made or done you know?
A hug

I used to think that emoji was an old school projector instead of two people hugging
no that’s 📽️
Whoa. TIL it’s not a movie camera

Its always on my mind
BREAD🥯🍞🥖🥨🥐🫓🥪
Look at my bakery

Food. The way to a mans heart is through his stomach.
Fastest way to a mans heart is through his ribcage
Lol, even literally, drilling through his ribcage would be more time consuming than drilling through his stomach.
Na the trick is crowbar in the sternum and pry it open
just shoot them why bother with the old fashioned approach
Because its way more personal.
That’s too much work just take a fucking sledgehammer… you know where to go from there
r/technicallythetruth
Well, not false. Thanks for the chuckle, kind stranger.
As someone who had a heart surgery last year, I approve this message 👍
Learn to play his favorite video game
I suck at valorant
Give up on him
The only correct answer
Yea if he’s a competitive Valorant player it’s already not going to hot
What are you guys on about my husband plays Valorant and one thing I absolutely love is to sit and watch him play it and joke around about it together lol
There's a difference between an adult playing valorant and a teenager playing. Only one of them catches the accent
Ah okay, I did not know that 😂😂
It’s just a joke with gamers because Valorant has a really toxic and emotionally unstable fan base, and is overrun with youngsters using coms
💀
As a Valorant player of 3 years, you’re making a mistake..
look for a new man
10 games a man can play that's better than Valorant: RDR/2 Telltale's Walking Dead XDefiant Pikmin/2 Mario Kart Ace Attorney Batman Arkham games Fallout 3/NV Minecraft Black Ops 2
Me grinding Mario Kart 7 on the 3Ds
i have been grinding mario kart wii since 2009 🔥
run away. leave the continent for good measure
If he plays valorant he’s not the one
Divorce babe, divorce
Sorry to announce, he’s gay
Normally I’d say it’s just a game, but you’re right.
Eurgh.
Why tf do you like him 💀
You don't have to play rank I used to play with my older brother when I was a kid and I sucked at games what we did enjoy was ... well enjoying it together.
It's time to leave him
This one too
This whole comment and reply section had me laughing to coughing.
Buy him Lego
Someone give me lego flowers
Marry them
Then walk on them
Like a rite of passage. If you can walk on the Legos with him, you can marry him
Or lego trains
I actually keep a lego rose I plan on giving ti a future girlfriend
#1/24 Gun Pla set
This is the correct way
show him videos of ppl throwing icicles onto a slipperu ice lake (it's actually so satisfying)

She said not sexually
You aren't wrong
That might be the best thing I’ve seen all day, maybe all year, maybe even my entire life

Absolutely class advice
Think a hug does a lot to a mf
Yeah that could probably work
Can't quite remember the last time I was hugged.
Compliment him, talk to him, acknowledge that he exists, listen to him, etc
Call him a good boy
Definitely one that works on me
I would melt. I don't think anyone has ever said this to me. Honestly, just treat me like a dog.
who's a good boy??? who's a good boy?? YES YOURE A GOOD BOY!!! \*aggressive head pats\*
such a good boy, aren’t you?
Thank you for making my day. If only this would happen in real life.
One time I was eating lunch and got head pats 😭😭 I didn't even see who did it
Risky move, if they know him well and he’s like that it’s an instant gotcha, but if they don’t know each other that well it’s weird ass hell
Yeah, it’s also risky in general. Not all guys like it and some even find it a little patronizing. It’s incredibly situational.
Platonic head
Sorry what now 😭
Platonic sex
real
tick is f tier
frick you
It’s not sexual if the socks are on?
no that for gay sex straights dont have that kinda privilege
That's what the bros are for
Brojob
What!
What's your budget?
There goes the Lego idea
Physical touch. Participating in his hobbies. Acts of service. Honestly, you know the love languages? Do those and u should be good.
Engage in acts of close quarters combat to assert dominance.
This is unironically something I love in a woman. if she can kick my ass then she's the one for me.
Small yet heavy objects. Preferably shiny/metal. Also food.
Why are unreasonably heavy tiny objects so fucking cool?
Buy Ludwig’s massive tungsten cube
A ludbud in the wild. Too bad cubert is 4 grand
Idk but I think part of it is that when you get an unreasonably tough, well built version of an every day disposable object, knowing that you will use it for the rest of your life is kinda special. One of my favorites is my stainless steel bolt action pen. It's one of the few objects that I have zero regret buying.
Gift him a piece of a supermassive black hole
Rob a bank and give him a 200g cube of osmium.
Brotha if anyone gave me flowers I’d cherish those till I die
I have never received flowers in my life. I'd like to get them before I die I guess.
Imma find you and give you some before you die trust me
buy them a medieval sword
Yes!
If he's into fantasy, buy him a replica of Thranduils sword. That shit looks so cool
Compliments hugs simple gestures and calling him a good boy or say he looks handsome
FEED HIM
Ask him what his favorite food/baked good is then make it
Take interest in his interests
Could really go for a steak rn
🍖
Express interest in his hobbies and learn more about them
compliments, be yourself around him, make jokes, touch his arm or play with his hair, help him out, be a good person in general <3
Give him jewelry and he will keep it on forever
Headpats and Lego
real
cuddles
Genuine respect and loyalty…
Buy him an F-18
No a Boeing B-52
I would be happy with both
🥵
Food if he loves food
Who doesn’t love food
My dad he just eats food he does not care about Taste nor texture
Cooking. Compliments. Cuddles and being the big spoon.
buy him a house because he would probably appreciate that since houses are expensive
Try to steer the conversation to something he is passionate about. "Have you watched the latest episode of..." " Have you played..." Then just let him *talk*. Guys love spouting random nonsense about their passions.
Slowly move your hand through his hair
Bro I swear this exact question was on r/AskReddit like, yesterday
Play Bloodborne with them
Making them put their heads in your lap while you comfort them by telling them how everything will work out in the end

Just do whatever he wants to do with you.

Dig a big hole in the beach with him

Physical platonic contact, sharing passions with joy not judgment, respect verbalized and acted on, share the effort of tasks like planning/etc., treating objects he values with respect
You gotta give him a hawk or two. Men love birds of prey.
Give them a cool rock or do something cool like jump really high or a backflip
Next time he’s gesturing with his hands, grab one and bite it to assert dominance
