I prefer to be in a relationship with a guy who treats me as a partner, not a goddess/princess.
It's okay if he compliments me, tells me how much he loves me, goes out of his way to do nice things for me---and I'll do the same for him. However, he should also:
1. Not smother me. I don't need all of his attention, all of the time.
2. Maintain his own interests, hobbies, friends, etc. separate from me.
3. Not feel like he needs to agree with me or go along with everything I say. He should have his own opinions and feel free to express them to me.
4. Call me out for my bad behavior (maturely, of course). If I'm being dramatic or immature, let me know. If I've done something to hurt you, let me know.
I'm interested in being with a guy who will be real with me, not put my on a pedestal.
My fiance is great at telling me in different ways how much he cares and I love him more than anyone so if it was 'over the top' it wouldn't push me away. If he had been over the top when we first started dating it would have been a little bit more of a turn off. Let this affection build up over time, make her earn it. Also, give her the opportunity to miss you. It is much easier to take things for granted and not see their true worth if you have that thing at your disposal whenever you want it. Spend some nights away with your buddies, keep up with your interests and hobbies, basically, maintain your own personal identity. That will keep her attracted to you. If she leaves you for a jerk, then she still has a lot to learn and she's either not the right girl for you or the timing isn't right.
why must you go overboard? why do you act like there is no in between the extremes. its like with you 'nice guys' its either treat her like a goddess, pretend to be the perfect guy and kiss her ass or be an abusive a**hole. how about being genuine? I dumped a guy for this reason and it wasn't because I didn't know how to appreciate a nice guy, it was because I felt he was being fake and going off a script. keyword ACTING like you're the perfect guy for her. I don't want you to act I want you to be yourself, not suck up to me and praise me all day. that is annoying lol
If you do that, go ahead, my mates do it all the freakin' time, and I get pissed off.

No. There are all sorts of women in this world so I can't speak for every woman but I do not get tired of knowing that my guy loves me and appreciates me. If I end up dumping him, it will be for something else, certainly not because he was loving and open about it.
NO! It may get a bit old hearing it over and over again. If anything a good girlfriend would tell you to tone it down a bit with the praises but that's about it. If she leaves you for someone else then she was never any good to begin with. If I had a boyfriend like that I would hold onto him and never let him go.
this happens a lot
just don't be too persistant,
if you do it right
it's a wonderful thing
and she will love it you for it =)
just be there for her
make her feel special instead of forcing it =)
Omg just be normal. Just go to etremes on either end of the spectrum
