Is it bad she never compliments me on my looks?

[Anonymous]

There is this shy girl and we have liked each other for a while. We just started dating together and our first date went really well. Generally speaking, everything is cool and fine. There is one tiny problem though. Well, it's not really a problem... but I wonder why does she never compliment me on my looks? Does that mean I'm not attractive enough for her? I'm not looking for an ego boost but I've been told by other people that I'm a good-looking person (sorry, I don't mean to sound narcissistic) so I'm just curious if she thinks I'm attractive. I've complimented her a few times... be it her looks or her personality... etc.

If she hasn't complimented you, this doesn't mean she doesn't find you attractive. If she is a shy girl who is happy around you, then its safe to assume she is attracted to you. Some people are afraid of taking compliments or giving them when they don't know how other people will react to them. It seems strange, but when I'm shy its difficult to compliment people or thank people, and even to specify to people what I want or to give opinions in public. If anything, she probably finds you very attractive, but just can't find the words to say it. If this girl finds you attractive, its something you can see in her eyes and the way she acts around you. It can generally be that way with shy individuals :)

Your answer is really clear and helpful! Are you really just 14 years old? I'm very impressed.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your opinion. Have a good day :)

For me being a shy girl, i feel uncomfortable with people complimenting me (it makes me feel self conscious) so even if i think someone is attractive or i notice their new hair cut or i like the jacket they're wearing... i think the compliment but i don't actually say it, just in case their is awkwardness or i make the person feel self conscious. That sounds weird but it's just how my brain works.
Regardless she wouldn't be going out with you if she didn't find you attractive, maybe just give it some time until she's more comfortable in the relationship?

She's just shy, I think. I'm sure she finds you attractive. Maybe next time, joke around and say 'Do you think I look good?' and see what she says. Maybe she just needs a little push.

For me, I'm a shy girl and I really find my boyfriend attractive no matter what and he knows that plus It doesn't bother him even if I don't compliment on his looks sometimes because He will always be beautiful to me

Maybe she's too shy to tell you let her get used to the dating thing and you and get out of her cover

Don't get your self esteem from other people
