Complimenting your partner is an important aspect of a healthy relationship. Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist, specializing in the science of romantic partnerships, advises that you should not stay silent in this area as it may ruin everything.
When asked this question, be keen on how you go about it. Here are some of the tips to help you respond well.
1. Say something about your partner's personality. Partners will want to know what makes you like them and not necessarily why you get attracted to them.
2. Say something about his or her intelligence. For instance, you can say: "I like that you are a good student and you're committed to getting into a good college."
3. Talk about how your lover makes you feel. A compliment will look realistic if it’s connected to your feelings.
4. Learn to say how it is without exaggerating. Especially for the girls, they will not be looking for anything apart from the truth. Most men prefer lying just to elate their loved ones.
5. You should compliment before you are asked to do so. Some partners only compliment when they are not on good terms, just to make one happy.
