Hello Everyone! This morning as I was getting ready for work my hubby was looking at me...(which I don't mind of course) and then proceeds to say "you're starting to look very, very sexy". Now at first I thought "wow, that was sweet" and I smiled. And then while we were in the car I thought to myself, "Starting to look sexy?" :noway: "does this mean I wasn't before and I'm still not?" Anyway, It could be that I'm just over thinking what he said but it did strike a small nerve with me. Anyone have any similar stories? lol

What a Summer's Eve. I find you very well-proportioned.

For a long time, I think my husband was afraid to give me compliments because he was afraid I would take them like that. Then we had a talk about it because I had to fish for the compliments and was getting tired of it. I basically told him that I know how I was before, and I am not going to be offended by him telling me that I'm looking great now or that he can see where I am getting smaller because I can see it too and I know that I've come a long way. We wouldn't be on this mission if something wasn't out of whack to begin with, so just take them as they come and don't let them be negatives.1

Exactly the reason men are sometime afraid to compliment. My advice -- accept compliments at face value and don't try to inperpret them.1 -
Take the comment as it was intended - a compliment!0

Don't read into any compliments and take them in the best light.
You know you deserve it!!!0 -
I think you are over thinking it, you look amazing, and he said very very, so evidently you have been sexy, and very sexy, and now you are about to be very very sexy. : )0

Don't over analyze. Take the compliment! He thinks you're HOT!!
Don't search for a negative angle.

Don't over think it. Take it for what it is. How many women complain that their men don't notice?
You should reward him more by showing how sexay. Just sayin.0 -
I always take compliments the wrong way. Probably because I feel like they are just words although I feel otherwise about myself. Trying to work on that though....0

i was getting dressed one day and my mom happened to be home early. and she came past my room. she was like " your starting to look hot" i was like "im starting to look hot? haha what?" she said " weightloss looks good on you" i said "thanks" of course but it got me thinking about all the people before telling me i was looking good, did they mean it or were they being nice? lol. so i totally get tht. but im sure he meant it as a compliment, because most people dont think before they speak ecsp with compliments and truth. haha
but u do look fantastic
keep it up

Don't read into it, just take the compliment and run! :happy:0

ha ha sorry thats like when my husband told me, " your not exactly small'', I knew what he ment but still I was like WTF????0
-
Take it as the compliment he meant it as. Trust me, when a guy says that, he's not thinking you didn't look good, or even sexy, before. But he's really liking what he is seeing now and probably liking the direction he sees it going in. Don't read too much into it, guys don't mean to send messages that way. (Too bad we don't all have translation devices, right? :laugh: )0

Take a fool for what he means and not for what he says.0
-
As a guy, I can vouch for this...we aren't very skilled in choosing the right words, though we do mean well
Odds are, he may have heard you mention something similar about yourself and was paraphrasing to compliment you.
And, us guys usually don't think about how things you say about yourself is ok, but not really for us to say to you.
Just from my personal experiences
He meant good by it.0 -
He added the verys in there, before you were just very sexy to him. lol0

Here is an example. I was speaking to a coworker. I asked if she got a haircut because it looked really nice. She said she had gotten it cut 2 weeks ago. Yes, I had seen her a few times since she had it cut. I stopped saying anything.0
