I frequently compliment a girl with whom I already have a romantic relationship. Women spend time getting ready for a date, worrying about what to wear, wanting to make sure that they present themselves as well as possible for their companion, and they deserve recognition for their effort and for achieving the results.
If it is a woman who is only a friend, I am less likely to compliment he because 1) the effort she made was not specifically for me, and 2) she may misconstrue a compliment as an expression of interest, and I do not want to mislead her about my intentions. However, if her appearance really does catch my attention and I can make a comment without fear of misleading her, I may comment on her appearance.
If a woman is a friend or acquaintance and I want to explore the possibility of romantic interest with her, one of the first things I might do is to compliment her on her appearance.
Are you asking this question because a guy has been complimenting you and you are trying to divine his intentions?

that depends, only in a serious situation if its true, for example if she is having serious insecurity problems or something and she is attractive i will not think twice of letting her know, even tho if she wasn't attractive id probably still lie just to build her confidence so then she can be confident enough to find someone that actually does, i try not to liw tho cause that can go south real quick

I compliment my female friends all the time! I always make sure to tell them when I think they look good or if they do something awesome. Though I try to make it clear I'm complimenting them platonically. Lol
It's not black and white. Chances are good that maybe he has some sort of interest in you (finds you attractive at least), but not necessarily mean romantic interest.
Her personality would be the deciding factor: if she's pretentious, No, but if she's shy and deprecating, likely Yes.
If your friend looks good why miss the chance of embarrassing them, or just being nice to her.
I can think of 2 girls I consider acquaintances ic never doted on them but ill always encourage them kf they admitted any insecurities
sometimes it's just cause I notice they've done something different,
sometimes it's cause I'd like to get romantically involved
depends on the person I'm complimentingDo it all the time. And my girl friends compliment me.
No, I probably wouldn’t be complimenting a female friend unless I was trying to flirt and probing to escalate.
Yes, it’s quite common.
