How to Compliment a Shy Woman

Complimenting a shy woman is all a matter of phrasing your compliment correctly.

Giving a compliment to a shy woman can sometimes seem like a challenge. The purpose of giving a compliment is to make the recipient feel better. However, a compliment can sometimes make a shy person feel self-conscious and awkward. In order to make sure your compliment has the intended effect, you need to make sure that it's delivered correctly. Deliver your compliment in the right way and you can make someone's day a little brighter.

Instructions

1. Be sincere. Avoid exaggerating or excessive praise. An overstated compliment can sound like teasing.

2. Be relaxed. Deliver your compliment in a casual way. It doesn't have to sound offhand, but it shouldn't be intrusive or pushy. Make sure your compliment is low-pressure.

3. Be sensitive. A shy woman will often have particular areas about which she feels self-conscious. Learn what these are and avoid complimenting them directly. Even what seems to you like a compliment may make her feel uncomfortable.

4. Repeat your compliments. Don't barrage her with compliments, but do let her know when she does something you admire.
