Is this abnormal..regarding gf

Basically I hate telling my girlfriend she is pretty we have been together for a few weeks and she really is stunning and perfect for me but im scared of her rejecting or dumping me. Everyday I think how can I impress her and plan out what I say to her otherwise I'l just come across as quiet. I just think that if I tell her how nice she is it will boost her confidence and she will realise shes too good for me, well she is lol.

Just tell her- every girl likes to be appreciated! I doubt she'd break up with you for complimenting her.

Tell her she's beautiful, yeah its going to boost her self confidence, but thats not going to make her want to leave you. She's with you isn't she? That means she doesn't think she's too good for you, and if she really does like you, then boosting her confidence will only strengthen your relationship. Trust me, she'll like you telling her she's beautiful.

Tell her she is pretty, for heavens sake.. she needs to know she is valued! Does she not compliment you to make you feel more confident? That is what we do for friends/partners, build them up so they are confident and can take on anything, she won't leave you for that.. but she might if she feels you are not attracted to her.

Thing is also she's not the soppy type and I don't know how to word it, how and when should I say it?

Next time you're thinking how pretty she looks, just say it! I kinda get what you mean - I've always found it awkward to compliment people. She will appreciate it though I'm sure. Let her feel loved! Heh.

Say it when you mean it. :s-smilie: If you don't feel comfortable saying it then don't. Looks aren't everything. You're with each other, that should mean enough to both of you to do away with silly compliments that you don't really mean or aren't comfortable saying yet. It's only been a few weeks. Give it time.

I agree when your're off out somewhere together and she looks good just tell her so! Every girl likes to be complimented :smile:
I definitely think you should chill abit more though as you seem a bit on edge and you dont want to do overkill and out her off by being too full on. Its only been a few weeks after all. Just be yourself, thats what won you the girl after all. You stud! :smile:

In summary:

You wont make her feel good incase you are hurt.

Nice.....

Solution:

Tell her she's pretty.

Dont over compliment.

They will become less flattering if they are said too often.

next time you think to yourself 'damn she's so hot' and she's there, tell her. don't overthink it, just let it come out your mouth freely. that's when she'll probably appreciate it most because it'll sound genuine

stop feeling inadequate because in the end it could ruin your relationship

don't create problems that aren't there... she's with you so just live for the present day instead of worrying she might leave you one day if brad pitt asks her out?!
