PDF download Download Article

She's standing there looking drop-dead gorgeous, and all words flee your brain...except sexy. There's got to be a way to let her know how much she turns you on besides telling her directly that you think she's sexy, right? But what? Turns out, there are a lot of unique ways to let your lady know she's got your jimmies in a twist, from the romantic to the downright dirty. To give you some inspiration, we’ve compiled a list of different things to say to her to let her know she’s desirable, special, and oh, so sexy.

Things You Should Know

  • Make her feel sexy by complimenting her on both physical and non-physical traits.
  • Talk dirty: let her know all the things she does that drive you wild in bed and all the sexual things you want to do with her.
  • Show her how much you desire her by making plans to take her out (or stay in) for a fun date night together.
  • Tell her in plain terms that you think she's sexy. Being forthright will seem genuine and more passionate than elaborate compliments.

“You’re ravishing.”

  1. Many people’s go-to for telling a woman she’s sexy is to tell her that she’s, well, sexy. The word has power, but it gets old quick. (And if you’re trying to hit on a girl you’re not involved with yet, sometimes the word “sexy” can be too forward.) But there are lots of synonyms for “sexy” that are perfect for letting her know you find her attractive. Keep it elegant with “You’re ravishing” or be more forthright with “You’re so hot.” [1]
    • “You’re captivating”
    • “You’re absolutely irresistible.”
    • “You're stunning."
    • “You’re the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.”

"You've got that special something."

  1. There's nothing wrong with being bold and direct about your feelings, but sometimes, it's what's left unsaid that hits the hardest. Really amp up the sexual tension by being intentionally vague or understated, and let your body language do the talking: undress her with your eyes, bite your lip, or gently brush her shoulder.
    • "You're indescribable."
    • "I don't know what it is about you."
    • "You're OK, kid."
    • "You're something, all right."

  1. Whether it’s her eyes, her smile, or her rear end, specific compliments can feel more genuine than simply “You’re hot” (but there’s nothing wrong with an occasional “You’re hot”!). Of course, use discretion: for instance, if you’re not involved with a girl, probably best to avoid “Great butt!”
    • “Your smile drives me crazy.”
    • “I want to lick your freckles.”
    • “Whenever you bend over I go wild.”
    • “I lose control at the sound of your laugh.”

    • “Your passion is just intoxicating.”
    • “I could listen to you talk about neuroscience all day.”
