Guys: When you compliment a girl's necklace...

[Anonymous]

is it because you are into jewelry? Or are you flirting?

Was that the guy's opening line?

If that was his opening line then almost definitely he's trying to flirt with you and opening up a conversation with you - and a conversation not based around jewelry!

But ModernHippy's answer is pretty much on the money with his take on guys compliment something that doesn't make them look like much of a creep ...I always compliment something a girl is wearing instead of how she is, because I wouldn't want to be called a creep when my opening line would be "Your face is beautiful"; it's much less stressful to compliment something a girl is wearing than some part of her body

Jewelry, all about it. us men can not get enough of necklaces, ear rings, bracelets, etc. We love everything from bronze to platinum and all kind of pearls and gems.

Everything I just said was a blatant lie. If he is compliment your jewelry, it is because he is either trying to flirt with you or be nice and notice that you put effort into your looks and that you look good. I only compliment a girl's piercings and what not if I want her to like me more (flirting) or if she is a friend and I want her to know that she looks good today.

Guys are just wondering how much did it cost...So like, he doesn't like you he just wants to see how much money he can get from you.OR he is staring at your boobs.

Could be either, really no way to tell in general. If I really like it and I know the girl well I'll compliment her on her necklace. If I like her and am trying to flirt, I'll find something to complement her about, and if she's wearing a necklace then that's a good start.

Its like stereotypical compliment from a guy. You compliment something that you hope won't make you look like a creep. I know most guys fear being a creep

Well, maybe we like jewelry..but more likely, we're saying we like her neck, and would like to nibble it!

its not something I'd normally do to compliment her on that , almost complimented a girl on her belly ring the other night but then held off as she already saw I was looking at it and seemed to notice already that I liked it

For me, it would be flirting. It would be an attempt to lead into a conversation.

Honestly - it's both for me.

I'm genuinely interested in jewelry, and it's nice that I can incorporate flirting into it.

Most likely, I'm just being polite. If I were flirting, I probably wouldn't compliment her at all.

I think it's a more classy indirect way to compliment your boobs
