Q: Boyfriend Doesnt Notice Little Things Bout Me....

He doesn't notice when I cut my hair last week. Its a cute layered style and I.ve been a lot of compliments on it from men and women alike....but not him. I asked him once why he never compliments me and this is the crap he told me lol

"I don't want you to get used to me giving you compliments all the time. If I do it a lot you.ll feel like you have to keep up in staying looking nice and I don't want that;" it sounds like bull to me. I compliment all the time but he NEVER does. Unless my shirt is a little low then he has something to say like "what did I tell you bout that shirt? Other people are gonna look:" its cute at first but annoying sometimes

But what he said bout him not wanting me to get used to it sounds like crap to me. Is he insecure? Jealous? I don't know. But I told him I wouldn't expect him to say it all the time but once in a while is nice. Great now I'm bumbed Sad lol it might sound silly but its important to me that he notice the little things bout me jus iike I do him

Alot of guys don't notice the little things. When he said to you:"what did I tell you bout that shirt?" it sounds like he is trying to control you by telling you what to wear.He sounds like a jerk to me.The way I look at it if he doesn't compliment you then don't compliment him and trust me he will notice when you stop.Honestly you don't need his compliments for you to be secure about yourself.

I know, and he.s not a jerk lol I was thinking that I.ll stop complimenting him too. He.ll always ask me if his shirt looks ok so I.ll jus shrug or something. It just ticks me off too that he won't notice my hair cut but he.ll always point out on tv when he sees some chiks fake boobs! Lol thanx for the advice I'm gonna use it the next time he asks me bout his shirt lol

Oh and bout him trying to control me on what I wanna wear, I jus end up ignoring him or jus replying to him telling him I do it for me, jus cause I like to show a little cleavage from time to time doesn't mean I'm out trying to impress other dudes. Jus cause his ex.s might have done it doesn't mean I'm like them Wink

Ok, your guy does sound a bit rude, but if you say he's not then I'll take your word for it. Now, you've brought this subject up to him before, but if this is bothering you then maybe you should really sit down and talk about it. Let him know it SERIOUSLY bothers you. Personally, i don't think there's anything wrong with a girl getting used to compliments from her guy. Has he given you a reason as to why thats a bad thing? My boyfriend told me he loves giving compliments because I usually kiss him afterwards. If you tell him it bothers you then I would hope he would rethink it, see the positives of giving you a little extra attention and go along with it.

In this situation, I really don't think turnabout is particularly the way to go. Guys don't take that too kindly-- neither do girls for that matter. When you start playing the you-don't-so-why-should-I game, then other things in the relationship will start to decline, and I'm sure you don't want that. Maybe you could tease him a little when you give a compliment. "I WOULD say you look really good in that shirt, but i don't want you getting used to compliments" That AND your talk should do the trick.

Talk to him, let him know it bothers you. Don't let him take this lightly, because if its something that bothers you, then it should bother him right? Let me know what his reasoning is for not wanting you getting used to compliments please. I would love to hear it. Smile
