It's normal, but it isn't because he sees you as any less beautiful - it's because you are more of a complete person to him. When he looks at you now, he doesn't just see the outside; his perception now includes his emotions for you as a person. It's a deeper connection and he's expressing it in a deeper way.
While I understand wanting and appreciating compliments on your appearance, ultimately you are much better off that you are more than your looks or body to him and that his feelings have matured and deepened. That's what you should really care about because that's what really matters.
Tell him that his deeper feelings for you make you really happy, and you appreciate them, but you wouldn't mind if he gave you the occasional appearance-based compliment like he used to as well. Guys don't always realize that you miss those things, and don't mind being told exactly what you want - because we don't read minds and we don't like to have to guess at what you want. Just tell him, but remember to make sure he knows you appreciate the things he IS ALREADY doing too.
Honestly, this is the best answer I have seen yet.
Couldn't have said it better myself well done
The compliments may not be as romantic for the moment but that doesn't mean he loves you any less! Why not have a special night together? Make it an occasion like a fancy dinner or a drive-in movie. As you're spending time together, thank him for being the loving and caring boyfriend that he is. That every moment you two spend together is memorable. I'm sure with reigniting the flame in him to how important he is in the relationship, he'll come back to you, saying how much you mean to him in his life! If he admits that he's becoming less romantic because of another problem in his life, talk about it and bring comfort to him.
Sometimes, all we men need is a reminder of how special the relationship is and why we are grateful to be in it :)
Don't worry. He does that because when you got together he had yet to know you as a person, and he complimented your looks because it's most appropriate. It's not that he thinks of you any less, it's just that when you were dating the only thing he was able to see is your looks and he's complimenting what he sees. After all, your personality is not written on your face. Everyone has their good and bad qualities, so you can't be ,, perfect". For example, let's say that you're passionate but not patient, and you know it, then your boyfriend decides to say you're patient. He didn't know the real you back then. He didn't completely see your personality, so he complimented what he was seeing.
He probably doesn’t feel the need to compliment you everyday when he tells you he cares about you a lot and he loves you a lot. That’s also like a compliment in itself

That should be expected to some degree. How long have you been together and how involved are you, do you live together? It matters
Once you start to get comfortable and routines develop, and they call the first 2 years the “moonlighting years” because couples are so passionate and romantic with each other. That’s why so many relationships end after 2 years, when it’s over. Then what happens is less exciting, you learn to make things work together, feels like a plan, like strategy in sports “you go long, I’ll pass you the ball, then do abc” and it’s just less sexy, but necessary step.
He could feel you two are predictsble and not sure where it’s all going, not sure, but sounds like he doesn’t think he has a risk of losing you, or else he wouldn’t be so subdued
Yeah it's pretty typical, guys don't really place much value in compliments in day to day interactions. If you feel you miss him doing those sorts of compliments and its something you require, let him know to be aware and he'll probably put in the effort to remember to do so for you. Communicating your needs is always good for any relationship, and try to avoid the "he should just know/ I shouldn't have to ask/ asking ruins the spontaneous nature of being complimented " route of thinking. No one is a mind reader
On one hand, yes. But that's just relatively.
He's becoming relaxed around you, but while this is a good thing, it's also a sign that he doesn't feel urgency in getting your attention. So i suggest going about your day in a way that drags your attention away from him. Keep busy/distance while your with him, but don't ignore him. If your boyfriend notices this, he will react by picking back up his knack for complimenting you. If not, don't freak out, just confront him calmly about it.
But mostly, don't over-analyze anything, people don't really watch what they do, or understand the effect that their have actions on someone.
It could be a number of things, but to me it sounds like, you two likely passed the "puppy love" phase. Now is the time you two really start to get know each other, and will determine if this will be a long term or short term deal. No more filters, just a raw photo. Some relationships will grow into a strong durable plant during this trial, others will slowly whither away with time. It's as Natual as nature. Regardless of what happens, I wish you to the best.
Well, after saying it so many times and so often, maybe he figures you got the point.
But relationships eventually lead into a comfort zone where things like that start to die down. It's not that you are losing interest in each other, but that your feelings for one another should be well established by that point.
Well that's perhaps how most guys view it anyways.
Additionally, if you say things like that too often, it starts to lose its value and meaning... It starts to become routine.
I'll bet you he does and ways that you're just not aware of. Try looking for them and I think you'll find it a more genuine form of complimenting you. If you forgotten to notice those or just have been blind to them all along you'll find that causes a sadness that can't be consoled. eventually you'll find that you are more distant than you were before you met each other
Well, yeah. I assume that the relationship was relatively new at the time, and that y'all were realtively new to relationships in general. This happens in every relationship, and is a sign that it's built to last. He's still expressing that he loves you, I just think that he thinks you know he already has that stuff in his heart everytime he says that kind of thing to you. Don't worry, it's nothing to do with you. If you like being complimented, tell him so. He can only be the boyfriend to you that he knows you need so let him know what you need.
Pretty much its not a fact we dont think it anymore it just that we are sick if saying it. Like i dont know you but my girlfriend constantly dismisses my compliments and compares her self to others. So it really started to bug me because we dont just say it we mean it and if you dont accept it then we stop. Most of us dont play that game
Yeah, do you do things that you started doing when you first got together... And the right answer is no, because no one does... At least he is still letting you know that he loves and cares for you... But I know women stop doing things that helped keep a guy enthusiastic, and men stop also doing things that attracted you... Because of that... It goes both ways.
Yeah, As you get more comfortable in a relationship and it becomes more long term. Some guys feel like that they don't need to anymore because they've told you enough for you to know that they think you're beautiful. If you want a constant flow of compliments again, I would suggest talking to your boyfriend.
Depends on how long you've been together. If it's early on, then he's probably losing interest. If it's been 8+months than yes it's normal, sometimes you need a break from hearing those things so it feels special again when you finally do hear it. I tell my girlfriend to not say I love you as much to keep the words important.
If you have a suspicion his interest in you might be less than it was, then I would suggest asking him if he still feels the same way about you. But if he's still telling you that he loves and cares for you, then all may still be good.
Oh, how cute is that ❤️
He just reached a point where he only cares about you and want you safe, he's basically demonstrating that he wants to spend the rest of his life with you.
He's on a better stage now, take care of him, he's emotional.
How often do you compliment him? Maybe he feels it isn't bieng recipricated... One sided encouragement can get really old.
I believe this would be normal behavior for a man in this situation. I personally I find it hard to keep making compliments to a girl without being redundant. It could also be that he thinks if he says "you're so amazing" or "beautiful" or similar things too many times that they will loose their meanings and stop getting a reaction. Have a great day!
Guys like to do. compliment a different way. it normal for guy not do compliment. It get boring. Why do ask this question you going to know the answer. guys are different to woman.
Saying the same thing over and over gets old especially if you are still doing the same stuff as in the beginning, I went through this, and she started doing random little things, which intrigued me. Dont have expectations just do things to show him he still is the one you want. Cater to his ego, we eat that shit up. Even if we know it's probably not true it makes us feel like well men. if you do all this and he doesn't start showing you, it's probably over
Its normal he feels like he said it all. Maybe compliment him more and
In a teasing way joke about him not complimenting you as much. Say like you miss it in a sweet poutty tone
women are Auditory but men are intuitive, it's so difficult for men to say how much they love things. but they act the love rather than telling I love U or blah blah...
If you enjoy more words of affirmation tell him I’m sure he’d be happy to make you happy
Yes it is normal. Believe it or not. We as human beings grab onto a comfortable routine and that's what we go with.
Once things start to die off in the relationship it gets to this stage, if you don't try to reenergise it it'll be gone soon
He's at the state in his head that he so comfortable with you that he feels you understand his feelings for you. This means he doesn't express his opinion as much as he once did. Also hormones slow down a bit.
Its very normal he probably feel its over said and it may not be to you but as a guy you should already know your amazing after it being said so much and he wouldn't be with you if he didn't think your beautiful
It's sad, isn't it. I think they underestimate the way it would make a girl feel, especially when time passes.
The honeymoon phase always tend to die out.. it's a part of relationships and it will happen to almost everyone at some point. It doesn't mean that he feels less towards you.
Well as long as he doesn't put you down and et annoyed when you send him photos of you and dont used that against you and call you names you are allright :)
Things like that die off the further you get into a relationship. It goes from saying to showing it. Look for the signs that he loves you and don't wait around for the words.
If you aren't complimenting him he is going to stop complimenting you
Do you compliment him too, or just him wooing you?
If you give a lot of compliments, my experience is that you eventually get tired of saying the same things.
yup, totally normal. There's a honeymoon phase in most relationships that's complimentary and sweet because you're just happy you won't die alone.
If you stayed in that phase forever it wouldn't be healthy though.
I guess it's normal. As things get more comfortable, we guys tend to slow down on complimenting. We know what you mean to us. We just don't say it.
I have a question for you though. Do girls need to be complimented?
It helps if you do, like a lot
Sounds like you two have come out of the limerence phase of the relationship. The relationship has evolved into something deeper than just physical "obsession" and infatuation.
yes it is normal because if he says you everyday that you are beautifull, or you are my everything it kind of irritating at times but once in a week or 2 he has to do these things because its what love is you have to express.
Compliments comes only to impress. At first meet every one complement every one to become friends or something.
If he is your boyfriend means its not necessary to complement or impress you. I hope you understand. Bye;-)
He might think that the complements are getting old, but he thinks no less of you as a person.
as he becomes more used to you he probably just thinks you know how much he cares about you
yeah gets boring so he stopped (normally after sex he stops faster)
Completely normal.. Throw some compliments his way and I bet you get some back
Do you compliment him the same way as you did in the beginning? And if not what changed? Two way street. I have never once heard relationships being entirely one sided when it comes to s#! t going wrong.
Yeah, you get comfortable. Small gestures show care.
Its normal bishh. Dont expect poor guy to compliment your butt 24/7 and you didn't compliment him so you still ask that?
I've been with my girlfriend for almost 4 years and i still tell her at least twice a day how beautiful and amazing she is
I've found myself doing the same with my girlfriend, you eventually run out of things to say. It's not that we don't care anymore, we just don't feel the need to constantly reassure our love
Thats the second phase 😂 in relationship... try making him jealous
No, he's just bored with you.
Evidently you're one of those validation queens. :)
He says your instead of you're?
Why are you dating him?
He's probably just getting used to you being there and starting to take you for granted.
Maybe you didn't give hime feedback so he stopped it or maybe he thing that he will look too agressive and fake
If it feels off them probably it is. I used to do the same for my wife but never got any appreciation in return. Give him that extra attention and I'm sure you'll notice a change.
Mention it to him tell him it's important maybe he has gotten comfortable in the relationship and feels he doesn't need to express this to you anymore.
Well you had sex with him, both of you have just gotten comfortable with each other. You just have to do stuff to freshen it up, like once I showed up to pick up a girlfriend from work naked.
Yaa... it was normal... becoz i think he is bsy or tense about something... it is not related to u... so he doesn't hv enough time to show his felling... so don't take these things in a wrong way...
Hey to tell u the truth maybe he doesn't love u like he use to something or someone else is distracting his mind now am going true the same situation am a guy
I guarantee you show less appreciation when he says it.
What is the big deal? He already tells you he loves you.
Yes honey moon/dating faze is over. In his head there's no reason to woo you with words any more
he may not have any new ways of communication the most simple of compliment. "you look beautiful!" think of positive before negative. or just ask him
Yea because if he said it all the time you would get bored and dump him because he would seem like a beta male to you
Yes.. may he got sexually saturated with u.. thats the bitter truth of hook up culture. and the way with most of the guys...
