"You're very nice and a great person." - Meaning in guy language?

Question

I went out with this guy a couple of times and now he told me that I'm "very nice and a great person". What does that mean in guy language? Is there any chance that he's still interested or is it a clear sign that he just friendzoned me?

He has made a move on me in the past and I know for sure that he is or at least was very attracted to me.

By "guy language" do you mean English?

What would you have prefer he say to you? "You're so hot let me fuck you and stay with you forever"?

I just wanted to know if after this comment I can forget about any further romantic involvement.

Well, honestly I think what @Xelebrum and @theccanyon said is probably the case.

It's there, and maybe he 'can' start liking you in that way, but for now at least it just seems like he'd have a bit more fire to the wording.

It's weird how the difference between what he said, and just saying "you're cute" can come from two very different thoughts, at least from a guy's perspective.

It is most likely that he isn't that physically attracted to you but doesn't want to be an ass and still wanted to compliment you.

That's assuming he isn't shy. If he is, then he probably just didn't know how to flirt with you without sounding creepy and/or awkward.

I know for sure that he is or at least was very attracted to me and he did make a move on me in the past. He seems pretty shy with girls or at least with me, but he should be over that by now.

Well maybe he just didn't know what else to say at that moment. Sometimes us guys have brain farts when we're with a woman we're attracted too and the compliments we manage to give don't come out as smoothly as we imagined them.

@xelebrum - exactly.

@asker , unfortunately, yes, you have been friend zoned. Unless he's very socially awkward and was super anxious and shy when he said it, using such blandly complimentary language leads me to conclude what @xelebrum said - he cares, but not as more than a friend.

He meant exactly what he said. I don't think it's a clear sign of friendzone.

What's guy language? If he's truly being honest, then he simply means that you're very nice, and a great person.

I mean if there's any indication if he's still romantically interested or not or if there's no such indication at all.

It means you're very nice and a great person. I don't think that's a clear sign of him friend zoning you.

i think he was just complimenting your personality because he thinks that's what girls want to hear. you can always just ask him, guys are very simple.

Hmmm... so you mean it doesn't *necessarily* mean that he's not interested anymore?
