How do you respond when a guy calls you beautiful?

Question

I really like this guy... and he occasionally (through text message) calls me beautiful or gorgeous. How do I respond to that? And him saying that probably means he likes me back, right?

Well, I think it is going to differ greatly on the context of the situation and stuff. Going through each scenario...
1.) If it was your scenario: a guy who I liked called me beautiful, I'd see it as an invitation to flirt more. I'd say something like "Thanks, I think you're pretty handsome yourself ;) ." He's clearly interested, so I'd find a way to show interest back! The winky face is just to show I mean it in a flirty way, not just a "returning the compliment" way.

2.) If it is a guy who was like on the street or whatever and approached me, I'd be weirded out. My response would be just a quick "thank you" and then I'd go about my way.

3.) If it was a guy who I had just started texting and didn't really know too well, him calling me beautiful/gorgeous repeatedly would make me thinks he wants something. If I wanted to continue with that and see where it goes, that's one thing, but otherwise, I'd probably just say "Thank you" and then stop talking to him. If I wanted to just be friends, him complimenting me like that would make me think he is trying to become something more that I didn't want.

4.) If it was my boyfriend, I'd say thank you and give him a kiss if I was like going out the door or whatever. If I just woke up and looked like a mess I'd be like "BS. Ok, what do you want?" as a joke or whatever haha.

If he is saying that to me and it's not just a matter-of-fact or boost-your-self-esteem kind of way, I can guess he likes you back. That's what I'd assume at least.

Short answer: "Thank you" works in basically every scenario. It's what you do after that matters, whether you use it as a stepping stone to flirt back or you use it to end the conversation there.

It's always nice to be called beautiful, but sometimes it can be a little confusing. How do you respond when a guy calls you beautiful?

First, let's take a step back and think about what he could mean by calling you beautiful. There are a few possibilities. Maybe he thinks you're physically attractive and he wants to let you know. Or, he could be trying to flatter you and make you feel good about yourself. Either way, it's a compliment and it's always nice to hear.

Now, let's think about how to respond. If you want to keep the conversation going, you could say something like, "Thank you, you're not so bad yourself." This shows that you appreciate the compliment and you're also interested in him.

Or, if you're not sure what to say, you could simply say, "Thank you." This is a polite response that shows you're grateful for the compliment.

No matter how you choose to respond, just remember that it's always a good idea to be gracious when someone pays you a compliment.

I don't usually take it seriously when a guy calls me beautiful over text or if it's just a stranger, I just atomically think to myself "fuck boy alert".

I only had one guy tell me I was beautiful in public. He was a co worker and we were sitting in a bar after the Christmas party and he said I had a beautiful face to another co worker. I just pretended I didn't hear him and asked him what he said and just went red in the face and said it doesn't matter. After that I walked off with a big smile on my face and I thought it was really sweet of him to say that as all the other females at work have a crush on him.

Personally for me I don't take anything written over text to any kind of degree. When it's said to me in person, though, I usually brush it off because I'm too embarrassed to do anything. Not because it in itself is embarrassing, but because I don't know how to take compliments especially not from someone I like. If say a random old lady told me, I would thank her. A guy I've got a crush on? Either flat line right there or pretend nothing ever happened.

This isn't the best response, but this is what I do haha

In this day and age a high percentile of people don't say exactly what they mean. Now that sentence is out of the way 😬...
Why not just be true to your own convictions and tell him what you truly think and let things progress from there?
What does it truly matter how others perceive you, so long as you live life your own way?
There is no right or wrong way to live life.

If you know what you want, push forward and make it happen...

Life is all about choices. We make choices and then we live with the outcome...
Wouldn't you rather have done and said the things you want (so long as you're not intentionally hurting anyone) and live with the outcome?
Whether you regret it or not; you'll learn from the experience.

Don't be shy to just be straight up and ask things such as "why do you think I'm so gorgeous/beautiful?" or "In your eyes what makes me so?" there are ways in which you can also take it to a comedic level too...

If you truly want to know, you have to forget what people think or how they see you and just enquire on your own terms 😬

Servus09 · Accepted Answer

I say "thank you," and "you're also beautiful, bro."

It really just depends on the guy. I don't throw around compliments like beautiful can gorgeous unless I mean it. Some guys will say that because they know that's all it takes to get those panties to drop. So take any compliment you hear with a grain of salt if you don't completely trust the person who is making the comment about you.

Once I was at work and this customer I never knew existed, comes up to me with a question. After getting an answer he turned around to leave, but stopped suddenly in his tracks, came right back up to me and said: "I hope you don't mind me saying this out of the blue, and hope you don't feel offended, but can I just tell you something?" I go, yeah, what ya got? He said: "You have extremely beautiful eyes."
Yup, those were his exact words. It REALLY did feel good. If I wasn't at work and didn't mind people seeing, I would have cried. Nobody had told me something like that in a LONG LONG time. It felt great. I also liked his polite boldness and honesty. It takes a lot of courage to do something that.
I just said thank you and of course I'm not offended.
I guess it just depends on how and where they tell you to keep it from seeming creepy.

biannnnnnn · Answer

Well I think its cute. But its kinda creepy if I just met this person last week and there already calling me beautiful, I would think there's somethings up. Yes he likes you. Text him back saying something like aw... really? that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me.

In today’s world, “don’t call me beautiful as that’s a sexist term.., and I don’t need your compliments btw…and who do you think you are judging me that way…just because you’ve got a dick…. I can get one of those too, Asshole…. 🤕 “.

torwulf · Answer

He like you, though im not exactly sure how you would respond other than "thanks, you're not so bad yourself" with a smile. Generally when i compliment a girl, i keep things light/humorous. Following up with a joke to relieve tension before she needs to respond. At least until i get closer to her.

kawaiiguineapig · Answer

I think it means he likes you. Respond with "thank you!" or "thanks, that's so sweet!" I love when guys aren't afraid to call a girl beautiful or gorgeous instead of hot. Some guys think that using those terms makes them a pussy

Ichi1982 · Answer

If a guy is texting you calling you beautiful yes he likes you. best response IMO would thank you and something like your not to bad yourself if you feel the same

_gracehaney_ · Answer

Well some people just like to compliment others. I say take the compliment say thank you and since you like him to add a compliment also. Like you're not bad yourself. Calling someone beautiful or gorgeous on a daily basis could mean he likes you. Just be careful that he says it not just because your appearance. Be called beautiful or gorgeous because of who you are, not because of how you look!

Eva323 · Answer

Blush and deny it. Yeah, I’m one of those people who can’t take a commitment. I know it’s irritating but I can’t help it. I don’t like attracting attention to myself.

Anonymous · Answer

If a guy calls me beautiful, I'm extremely weary and suspicious... They obbiously want sth from me (guess what..) and most often they are 210 lbs and desperate to get laid...
I hate it because I know it's not true. I'm kinda cute/slightly above average at best. Plus I'm not the type of person that likes compliments. The only kind of compliments I accept have to do with personality: intelligent, ambitious etc.

FinalVow · Answer

well done course he likes you lol though if it is lust love or infatuation only you can know. best way to respond is awh thanks and then add a compliment his way.

Jemini_Crocket · Answer

I don't hear it often but it sometimes depends on the way he says it. But honestly, most of the times I'm just grateful and turn bashful and shy because it's really nice to hear a compliment.

crossdressingrihno · Answer

Well it could just mean that he thinks you're beautiful There's a few beautiful women on here and I'd tell him straight to their face but that doesn't mean I'm romantically interested in them

Astoriana · Answer

It depends on the context. If it’s someone I know and it’s not creepy, I would say thank you. Otherwise I wouldn’t say anything at all.

If he’s saying that to you, it’s obvious he thinks so.  Just say thank you with a blush emoji  Or say how thoughtful it was for him to say so (only if you think it was of course)

WhitneySnow · Answer

I blush. And yeah, it probably means he likes you back.

TomatoeUnicorn · Answer

Well, if you like him, tell him so in person and in private. If you don't like him in that way, let him down gently. Obviously ask him if he likes you first to avoid awkwardness. Very good chance he likes you.

Normally I just don't believe it and start to question him. What does he want?

Lieseeker · Answer

Have his eyes checked if you really love heem. Certainly, by then your love will have escalated since his fingerprint, hair analysis, and background check came back, suspended until something pops up.

It may mean he's attracted to you but being attracted to you and "liking" you (wanting to be in a relationship) are two different things.

Girls don't even know how to reply to a compliment nowadays. You give em a genuine compliment and they laugh or they reply with a 💩 comment

I’ve never been complimented by a guy before, so I’d likely be taken back and shocked. I would awkwardly say thank you since it would surprise me.
