Why not? I think most people enjoy a good compliment. Seriously, if you compliment a guy and he does not compliment you back... well that tells you so much about the type of person he is. Its better to just say what you feel and see if he feeds off your good vibe.
Too often we hold ourselves back in the dating process because we fear opening our hearts and minds. We get so caught up in if we should say this or that, and who should do what first... why?
Just be true to you and share what you think, and if you do not get what you want out of it then feel blessed that you took that leap sooner than later, after you wasted days, weeks or month playing all these minds games with in your own head... share the vibe and see if he returns it.
If he doesn't then best to know sooner than later... move to the next and probably better guy.

Probably it could reduce tension and would help a guy to figure out if his feelings are mutually.
Especially if he's inexperienced in dating he will try to avoid creating issues the most he can so her doing something to break the ice it would ease the situation.
Thinking you should compliment someone is too much overthinking. Just do it if you genuinely want to. Better to be yourself and be honest so you won't stress yourself thinking about what you should do socially. The people who like you for you will come flowing in as a result.
In general I don’t compliment a guy unless it’s done as an act of consolation after an insulting or embarrassing situation, putting a guy on a pedestal by honouring him without context makes everybody uncomfortable.

I don't think there's a rule for that.
Nobody "should" compliment anyone - it's whatever you want. But I can tell you that a complement seems to have a big effect on guys. I hear complements a lot more often, but I think it catches guys off guard in a good way. So if that's your aim, then yes
She compliments me any time she feels like.
I compliment any time I feel like.
We both feel good after the compliments. Her compliments make me smile, and my compliments make her feel cherished, respected, and of course make her smile as well.Girls should do all they can to show actual appreciation and love for men. So many girls would rather tell their girlfriend they are queens while leaving men on read and treating them like NPC in a video game that are only ever relevant when they need something.
I don’t know about first… if you want to compliment a guy, please do. These days guys are being bombarded with these notions that masculinity is toxic, and men are scum, and men are the only ones who sexually assault women, and all men do that… but in reality, true masculinity is not toxic, and men could use some uplifting compliments. The order in which compliments happen isn’t important. If you see something that you want to compliment about a guy… just do it.
It's not a first or second type of thing when I think of it. If I like a firls new hairstyle I'll just say it. Compliments are ment to give people a sensation of being noticed. For men that might be the best thing a women has ever done for him till that point. (Besides being birthed)
Yeah, it would save girls years if they did. Just compliment the guys you desire and even ask them out. I truly believe it would be a game changer for women if they did. @babygirl_s
Without coming off as some egotistical jerk I can read a girl's body language and take that as a compliment. Honestly, the best compliments are in fact silent!
Should?
No, there is no compulsion or obligation but if a woman wants to compliment a man first then there is nothing wrong in that also.Only if the guy is shy. If you compliment a player your going to get played.
It's entirely up to the individual, whether male or female. No one "should" have to do anything.
If she wants then she can. It should be 'Can' instead of 'should' though. Same goes to guys.
My experience is that most of the guys don't know how to deal with compliments. At best they get all shy and insecure, at worst they get all suspicious about your intentions.

if you mean it, yes... nothing wrong at all about that
If he is attractive or I am interested sure why not. I would be careful doing this if you don't see them in a romantic light.
If she feels like. Why not? There's no right or wrong answer to this question.
There should be no order. If you want to do it, do it.
no not a chance anymore. i used to compliment my guy friends but they end up calling me a cheap slut behind my back. they thought i was trying to hit on them when im actually not, and it hurt me till this day
Why not? I more believe in "get what you want, dont expect it to be given to you". So that applies to girls too
I think both side should act like whatever they feel. It doesn't matter who compliment first. If you want to you should just say
