Be sincere and specific to avoid coming off as creepy. If you’re trying to rizz up a girl, reflect on something you really like about her to come up with a genuine compliment. You could highlight a specific feature, like her eyes, hair, or smile. Or, mention how her interests and style stand out. Dating and relationship coach Julianne Cantarella says the goal is to “be positive” and “make her feel important.”
- You drive me wild.
- I can’t take my eyes off of you.
- That perfume smells like heaven.
- You have the most stunning smile.
- On a scale of 1 to 10, you’re an 11.
- Your eyes are absolutely mesmerizing.
- Congrats on winning the genetic lottery.
- Is it annoying being stared at all the time?
- If I didn’t know you, I would want to know you.
- You’re the type of girl that every guy dreams of.
- Send me a photo, so I can give Santa my wish list.
- Your voice is so sexy. I could listen to you talk for hours.
- How do you rock every outfit and make it look so good?
- If you were a song, you’d be the hottest single on Spotify.
- When your parents made you, they were just showing off.
- How do you manage to light up every room you walk into?
- If I had a dime for every time you made me smile, I’d be in Forbes.
- I’m having trouble focusing at work…I can’t stop thinking about you.
- I love how fired up you get about climate change. It’s super attractive.
- You look even better than your profile pic—and you looked insanely good in it.
- Reader Poll: We asked 307 wikiHow readers and 52% of them agreed that the best type of compliment to give their girlfriend is one that points out something specific about her outfit. [Take Poll] So that may be the best way to compliment the girl in your life!
If you want to compliment her on her dress, be careful not to border on the obscene or make her feel self-conscious or embarrassed. An example of a nice compliment is “you look more beautiful and feminine in that short skirt”, which is obviously not the same as saying dirty things like “your bum looks better that way”. The latter often borders on sexual harassment and is very wrong.

Tips on Delivering a Flirty Compliment

Focus on her personality traits (at first). Lots of girls hear “you’re beautiful” all the time, and it can get boring, repetitive, and creepy. Compliment something outside of her appearance to stand out from the crowd and make her feel valued as a person. Whether it’s about her attitude, achievements, goals, or interests, prioritizing her inner beauty will come off as more genuine.^{[1]

- Once she feels more comfortable around you and starts being flirty, feel free to compliment her appearance.
Going overboard on compliments can come across as desperate or needy, so stick to 1-3 compliments in a single interaction. Don’t expect her to say something in return, or get upset if she doesn’t reciprocate. The point of giving a compliment is to share your admiration for someone, so lay out what you like about her and then continue the conversation.^{[2]

In general, a girl will appreciate a flirty compliment if she’s into you, but feel uncomfortable if she doesn't like you. Before trying to rizz her up, think about how she acts when she’s around you. Some signs that she might like you include: having open body language, making eye contact, trying to touch you, mirroring your movements, fidgeting around you, or giving you compliments.^{[3]

Warning: If she doesn’t feel comfortable with your compliments, rejects you, and you keep insisting, she could report you for harassment. So if she doesn’t respond positively to every compliment you give her, stop immediately. Oh, and be very careful about swearing at her - she would give you a well-deserved slap in the face.
