Is it normal that my boyfriend rarely/never compliments me?

My boyfriend barely gives me compliments. I don't want a lot, just a few every once in awhile would be nice. I know he loves me and likes what I do, but he's just shy about saying nice things and doesn't really compliment anyone. He doesn't ever say mean things.

    I compliment my girlfriend every single day, because she is the most beautiful girl in the world. If he doesn't treat you like this then he probs isn't the one.

    Dump him immediately. Receiving compliments is important to you or you wouldn't notice. Find a guy who is willing to show affection in ways that are meaningful to you.

    Read "The Five Love Languages" and you will see what I am talking about. Don't spend your life hoping he will change. Most people can't.

    Depends on how long you have been with him so if not long you will get more but if for a long time you won't get much and if it has not been a long time and he doesn't compliment you then move on

    Definitely not letting myself go, and if anything, he's been more attracted to me recently.

    • Well then rape his ass every time you can and give him the best and wildest sex ever. Maybe take him to your parents bedroom when they are out and bang him on thier bed? Do freaky shit, and have fun. Have sex in public places something! Make life fun and exciting!

  • Its the way he grew up trust me! Unless you are letting yourself go, and he is getting less attracted to you?

    Well the shy and stuff just explains why he does it, not if it's normal. I feel like even shy guys eventually will give compliments?

    He is probly young or not much experienced, he don't know yet how much women like bullshit, talk him about it in a nice way he will eventually get there.
