writes:My significant other tells me that he loves me from time to time, but he almost never compliments me. It always seems like a chore for him to do. I told already that it bothers me when he doesn't tell me nice things every once in a while but about 2 years have passed and he still rarely compliments me. We know each other very well and I know he's capable of doing it but he just won't and I cannot for the life of me understand why he won't. Does anyone have an idea why? Reply to this Question

However, she NEVER said to me that she loved me, in person.And, I rarely would hear compliments from her.Sorry to say, but, it's very probable that this person isn't interested in you. That's what it turned out to be, when I was with this girl. I had to cut her out of my life - I just couldn't stand her, anymore.Don't quote me on this, though. It's possible that this person DOES love you. I'm just sayin' that, in my case, the compliments I would get from this girl were usually conditional, such as my asking for an opinion on something, or if I'd compliment her on something first.All in all, take care.-Fred.

Maybe his father never said those things to his mother so he has no idea how important it can be to boost a woman's feelings with the occasional compliment. I expect he is lacking in some other areas where a bit of charm/empathy is required as well. So you can point out this perceived short coming and see if there are any improvements but ultimately you will not be able to change his personality.

 You probably expect compliments and become arrogant. Alot of guys have this problem with their gf's.
