Expressing your admiration for what the person is doing or exhibiting helps you build a connection with them. In a way, it\u2019s similar to smiling at someone you\u2019ve accidentally met eyes with. You\u2019re demonstrating your positive attitude, and you\u2019re making the other person\u2019s day more positive as a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in a bit more selfish sense, the more you give compliments, the more you\u2019re likely to receive them. And who doesn\u2019t want that? More often than not, we\u2019ll not voice our praise if we see something or someone we love. By being a living example, you\u2019ll encourage others to mimic your behavior. Next thing you know \u2013 you\u2019ll be surrounded by a happier crowd that is radiating good vibes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, if you\u2019re talking to a friend or a love interest who\u2019s shy, complimenting them more often will help them build confidence. Just don\u2019t overdo it and make it cringe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to compliment people around you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1085\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flure.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-andrea-piacqu-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.flureapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-andrea-piacqu-11.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/www.flureapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-andrea-piacqu-11-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.flureapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-andrea-piacqu-11-1024x661.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.flureapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-andrea-piacqu-11-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.flureapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-andrea-piacqu-11-1536x992.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s find out how to make compliments that are sweet and meaningful. For starters, let\u2019s go over the main do\u2019s and don\u2019ts of this fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The do\u2019s of complimenting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the tips that the Flure team collected from personal experience and expert opinions. Use them all to give your best compliments yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Speak from the heart. Yes, you can absolutely compliment someone when you don\u2019t mean it. But that isn\u2019t fun, is it? Instead, do it when you really want to tell someone they\u2019re great. Genuine way is the right way. People can feel that you\u2019re not being sincere and you\u2019ll only ruin your relationship with that.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focus on what\u2019s inside rather than the looks. Complimenting someone\u2019s figure and features is still okay, of course, but only at the right time and place. To be safe, pay attention to the person\u2019s character and personal traits. Are they an attentive listener? Do they instantly make every space they enter feel cozier? Make sure to tell them!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give gender-neutral compliments a try. Millennials and Gen Z have bent sexual norms and transformed how we view sexuality over the past few years. You can use words or phrases that don\u2019t attribute to a specific gender, such as \u201cyour outfit is beyond stylish\u201d or \u201cthat haircut looks sick on you\u201d. That way you\u2019ll give good compliments without making assumptions about someone\u2019s gender.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The don&#8217;ts of complimenting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s look at some of the things that you should not do when complimenting people around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Number one rule \u2013 stay clear of backhanded compliments! Unless you\u2019re in your villain era and are actively trying to make someone uncomfortable, of course. Backhanded compliments are toxic, and instead of bringing joy to the other party, you make them feel miserable. For example, someone saying that you are brave to wear short skirts with the shape of your legs is definitely giving you a backhanded compliment. Basically, anything that is an insult disguised as flattery is a big No.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid sexualizing and objectifying the person with your compliments. Obviously, if you\u2019re both in a flirty mood and want to fool around, a little bit of inappropriate complimenting will only help spice things up. Yet, if you\u2019re in a coffee shop or in the workspace \u2013 do your best to avoid inappropriate compliments. You\u2019ll 100% make it weird, and you also can be accused of harassment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speaking of harassment \u2013 catcalling is NOT a compliment, neither is it cute or funny. Yelling questionable compliments at someone across the street is about having power over them, and not making them feel good.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t repeat your compliments to everyone. Telling 15 girls they look cute today is not a crime, but please make your compliments unique and say different things to different people.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More tips on how to give compliments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Complimenting can be hard! And you might cringe internally as you try and do it the first couple of times, but don\u2019t worry! You\u2019ll get better with time. And for now, use our tips to navigate the complimenting world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Focus on something that the person is proud of. Like if your boyfriend worked really hard to learn to play piano and he\u2019s happy with the progress he\u2019s making \u2013 go ahead, give them that serotonin boost!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go for the non-obvious things. Anyone can tell Jacob Elordi that he\u2019s gorgeously handsome, but not every person can highlight that scene where they think he really took the character to the next level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid fishing for compliments when giving them to others. It\u2019s just bad taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep it in your pants. Don\u2019t compliment someone too much or use too many words to say what you mean. Otherwise, you can make them uncomfortable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good compliment examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at some of the examples of beautiful compliments that will make your crush\u2019s heart melt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Talking to you is the best part of my day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On a 1 to 10 scale, you\u2019re a solid 100.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spending time with you is always a treat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your sense of style needs to be studied.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your laugh is contagious.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I bet you can do anything you put your mind to.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do you always look so effortlessly cool?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to take compliments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flure.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-godisable-jac.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.flureapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-godisable-jac.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/www.flureapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-godisable-jac-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.flureapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-godisable-jac-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.flureapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-godisable-jac-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.flureapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-godisable-jac-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we sign off, let\u2019s go over some basics of responding to compliments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When people say nice things to you, fight the urge to downplay whatever they\u2019ve complimented (the entire Flure team is guilty as charged). Instead, thank them and compliment them back if that\u2019s appropriate. For example, if a guy you like at the gym says your lifting has improved significantly, don\u2019t tell him he\u2019s wrong followed by the five reasons why he\u2019s wrong. Instead, say thanks and add something nice, like how you admire his discipline and consistency with workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of us, especially women, are deeply uncomfortable with hearing good things about ourselves. But this has to stop now! Everyone is beautiful, everyone is a princess, and we all deserve to be loved and cherished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flure isn\u2019t just a dating app\u2014it\u2019s your gateway to meaningful connections and unforgettable experiences.
