She's clearly fishing for more compliments :biggrin:
Sounds like she isn't used to receiving compliments like that - give her time. I do it sometimes, if someone tells me something which I can't see is true about myself, I tend to deny it and make excuses.

How long have you been with her? I wouldn't push it too far, perhaps tell her why you think she is beautiful.

Me and my girlfriend had an argument today, basically i was saying that shes beautiful, which i genuinely think, but she completely disagreed with me and accused me of lying. I don't know what to do, because if i back off then she'll think i'm lying but i don't want to push it because itll cause more arguments.

any advice would be helpful


Stop complimenting her until she learns to trust you: she can't have her cake and eat it too.

weve been with each other 5 weeks. its mainly the accusing me of lying bit that gets me most.
If you don't think it about yourself, it is hard to hear it from other people. when my bf used to compliment me id argue back, not because i didnt trust him, but because i didnt know how to take something nice like that. Just tell her she is beautiful to you, whatever she thinks, and give her time. Now i just smile and say, "I know, thats why you love me!" Lol!

hmmm most girls do disagree with being called that but still it's highly flattering, but accusing you of lying :confused: now that's a bit much. Just tell her you mean it and say "If you don't want me to say it then I won't but you can't stop me thinking it"

Is that a phase you went through with Trigger?

she thinks you're saying it so you'll just **** her, probably. bad experiences with guys etc can trigger this.

Well theres two ways to recive a compliment. you either say it's not true and the complimenting person is lieing or you say "yea I know" which sounds big headed and makes you look to confident about yourself (which is acctually what I do but I am confident most of the time! :biggrin:)

Just tell her she is beautiful to you or just stop complimenting her.

The other thing to do is say she is ugly but that is not advised!!!!! :biggrin: (please don't take the last bit of advise!)

There aren't two ways. There are lots. An ideal one (with any compliment, not just this one) would be to smile and say thank you. Even if you don't believe it yourself, if you believe the other person is being genuine, then you should be gracious about it.

To the OP, if the girl believes you're only saying it to get in her pants, then you might need to give her a bit more of a sign that you do think it and aren't just saying it. Otherwise, if she doesn't want to believe compliments, lay off them for a while :wink:
Well she could be fishing for compliments but I also cant handle compliments that well. When my bf compliments me, I feel he doesnt really beleive what he is saying and is just saying it to keep me happy and makes me really self concious and small

She's probably not used to being complimented. Just tell her how much you care for her, and no matter what she says, you'll always think she's beautiful.

"Went"?
Personally I would say "my god, you're looking hideous today!" in as complacent a tone as I could manage, and see what reaction that gets. But that's just me.

It really depends on what tone you use. Well maybe it's best to leave it for a while, she's probably insecure about herself. BUT you could say it again, when the situation is right for example; you're in the park alone with her. If it triggers an arguement again; tell her how you feel and that you really mean it.
