David Lewis agony auntJust say Thank you and give him a kiss.

I tell my fiancee all the time, but she usually says "I'm not" or "No". All I want is for her to realise how beautiful she is. When she says "Ta" or "thanks", it makes me very happy.

xLEAHx agony auntHi Hunny,i can totally relate to your question..when i get told im beautiful too ..and its very true sometimes you don't know how to reply ..i used to always say 'NO IM NOT'and then he'd say you are babes..i'd reply back saying aww thankyou thankyou..then i'd say jokingly i think your beautifull too.. no babes your a very sexy guy and i love you..for you to make him feel good say things you mean open your heart tell him how much you love him and how fit and sexy he is ..we all know a guy loves as much attention and to be commented as much as a woman it makes them feel good just like us..so if he tells you face to face your beautiful give him a kiss and say 'thankyou i love you' so there you go give it try and good luck.

Frank B Kermit agony aunt i thought it was cute, and for sum reason he really dident like that, and we got into a huge fight about how i cant take things seriously.

So basically, you meant the word one way, and he took it another way. He has a different assocaition to that word than you do.

now that were going out im really afraid to say "ur so cute"

This is the part you two have to work out. Either you are going to have to find another word to use, or he is going to have to get used to it. You have to decide for yourself which is more important to you. Your freedom to use the word vs. what he is going to ahve to deal with in changing how he interprets it.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

like just once i said sumthing he wrote to his ex (this was a few months ago) i thought it was cute, and for sum reason he really dident like that, and we got into a huge fight about how i cant take things seriously. now that were going out im really afraid to say "ur so cute" and when i say that its usualy about sumthing that he did, and i take it seriously, like im not using cute as like a girly, not serious word, i use it as a word to say that i like wut he did, or what i think wut he did was funny (sumtimes sexy)

Frank B Kermit agony auntKiss him, or at the very least touch him when you say thanks.

If he does not like "cute" names it might be becuase he associates those names with something other than a term of endearment.

For a man, a physical response works better than a verbal one.

when my boyfriend tells me im beautifull or gorgeous, i giggle like a little school girl and im 23. i do however teasingly tell him stuff like "i know" and ur sexy too. or i do just plain old say thank u. either way i always hug and kiss him after. and if its over the phone i usually say "ohh honey thank u". and depending on the mood, sometimes there really isnt anything to say, so just smile at him. its as easy as that.

and never call a guy cute unless he is secure with his man hood, try handsome, sexy, goodlooking,

The male reader, below..just gave you excellent advice. When your bf gives you a nice compliment,the best thing you can do is smile brightly at him and accept the compliment, with class and grace. Just one question..why would he get mad at you for using the word 'cute'? I ask because when you say he get's 'mad' I'm thinking..what a trivial thing to get annoyed with. Does he respect you? Write back and let me know.

If your boyfriend gives you a compliment, he is probably not looking for a compliment back. He is just trying to let you know how much he loves you... so just reply with something like "Thanks baby you make me feel so awesome" when he tells you that you are beautiful and he will be happy and know that you appreciate his effort :)

And if you want to compliment your man... pick something specific... tell him how you love his eyes, or how strong he is etc... or just tell him that he is amazing... that should work!
