Why does my guy friend compliment me indirectly?

Maybe to maintain the boundaries with you and he just doesn't know how to say it without seeming like something he doesn't intend it to be.

Either you are intimidating to him or he is shy to compliment you directly

[moonpie89]

He's probably too shy to compliment you directly. He probably doesn't want it to be awkward and probably doesn't know how you would react

[Asker]

But I always compliment him

[Last_aliennn]

Because he's a friend. He might do it so that you won't misunderstood his words... I think.

He probably just doesn't want to make you uncomfortable. A lot of people get uncomfortable when you compliment them.

[Guy13]

He has no balls to say it outright. Never going to be more than friend.
