Expert Answer

Try to be genuinely grateful for the compliment. It's easier said than done, but when you're dating, it's a really important trait to figure out how to love yourself. Most singles are looking for someone who's self-assured and comfortable in their own skin.

Question

My boyfriend is kind of shy, but we already hold hands and hug. How do I know if he wants to kiss me or not?

Community Answer

You could try acting flirty and playful to see if he takes the hint and moves in for a kiss. You could also just directly ask him to kiss you -- it's forward, but it gets the job done!

Question

My boyfriend posted a picture of me and wrote "My love" in the caption. What should I reply?

Community Answer

You can just comment something simple like "Love you!" or, "You're so sweet!" If you want, you could also post a picture of him and write something like "My guy."

Question

My boyfriend doesn't talk to me that much, what should I do?

Community Answer

Talk to him one on one about how you feel and what your expectations are for the relationship. If he doesn't know what you want/need, it will be hard for him to make you happy. If he still doesn't make an effort to talk to you after the conversation, he might not be a great match for you.

Question

What do I reply back when my bf says I'm smoking hot?

Community Answer

I usually just laugh and say thank you! If you're sick and tired of him saying that then tell him, he should understand.

Question

What do I do when my boyfriend says I love you to after I asked him, should I just forget about it or mention it at school?

Community Answer

If you asked him if he loves you and he said that he loves you too and you love him, just forget about it and play it off as if you both said that you love each other. It seems like you are both in love.

Question

My friend told my boyfriend he doesn't compliment me enough, but now every time I see him all he does is call me beautiful and I feel like it's so insincere. I don't know how to react when I expect it.

Community Answer

Be honest. Tell your boyfriend that he shouldn't feel like he has to say that to you every time he sees you, and that in fact, it comes across as insincere, because you feel like he's doing it out of obligation. Tell your friend that you appreciate that she was trying to help you, but that you'd prefer it if she didn't try to get involved in your romantic relationships.

Question

We are in a long distance relationship and I don't know how to show affection to him.

Kaitlyn Jasper

Community Answer

Affection takes many different forms and is not always physical. Sometimes affection is shown through emotions. Communication is extremely important in long distance relationships so make sure you verbally express your affection or write a love letter to him or send him something that will remind him of you. Even things such as checking up on each other and asking how each other is can mean a lot.
