Love: Today, my friends were all sharing sweet things their boyfriends...

Today, my friends were all sharing sweet things their boyfriends had shared with them. After hearing "he says I look pretty without makeup" or "he promises we'll get married one day", I realized that the only compliment he's given me is that my laughter "sounds like a squirrel having a seizure."

Today, my boyfriend and I were snuggling and telling eachother nice things. The nicest thing he could think of to say to me was "Well, I see you shaved your mustache." FML

Today, I overheard my boyfriend and his friends talking in the next room. I smiled when my boyfriend called me beautiful, only to hear his friend laugh and say, "C'mon, dude. She has fat ankles and smells like deli meat." FML

Today, I overheard my boyfriend bragging about me to his friends, telling them I have a great smile, cute hair, and very perky tits. This wouldn't be so bad if we weren't both men. FML

Today, I was talking to my boyfriend, feeling pretty low. I said something along the lines of, "You like me even when I look like shit." He replied, "Ah, that's just how you naturally look." FML

Looking good

Today, a guy was telling me how his girlfriend considers me a "perfect beauty." Not used to getting this sort of compliment every day, I felt extremely flattered… until he started explaining in great detail why he couldn't disagree with her more. FML

Today, while lying next to me, my boyfriend smiled and told me, "I really like your eyes. They're pretty." He paused and then finished with, "They really help your face." FML

Today, while out with my boyfriend, I gave a beggar some cash, who then smiled at me and said to my boyfriend, "You have a beautiful little lady, take good care of her." Flattered, I hoped my boyfriend would agree with the compliment. He turned and said, "Hear that? He said you were little." FML

Today, I realized that my gay male friend tells me I’m pretty, gives me random compliments, and shows me off more often than my husband of 10 years. I legitimately can’t remember the last time my husband called me beautiful. Even if I ask him how I look, the best I’ll get is “You look fine.” FML

So your boyfriend's language of affection isn't necessarily conventional, if you know he loves you and you are both happy together then this is really no big deal.

Compliments should go either way but if he hasn't told you that you're at least cute then there is something up. Also depending on how long you've been together he could just be that comfortable in your relationship and doesn't feel like he has to constantly be sweet.

Don't think that's a compliment

Some guys hardly ever spout romantic stuff but it doesn't mean they're a bad boyfriend. Some guys I know can't say that sort of thing, but they show their love in other ways, like always making you a coffee in the mornings, etc.

It could be that your boyfriend just wanted to make you laugh and meant it as a joke? Maybe he's not good with expressing his feelings. You should broadcast your concerns to him. -Optimistic p.o v :) hope all goes well!
