Men often don’t receive compliments in their daily lives, so they truly enjoy being called handsome. If you want to send your boyfriend a message praising his looks but aren’t sure how to describe him, we’ve gathered a few ways to help you send a compliment that will make him feel amazing.
Steps
“Good morning, handsome.”
A good morning text can start his day off with a smile. If you wake up before your boyfriend, send him a message calling him handsome. He might love this sweet way to start the day and even reply with something cute. You could also say something like:
- “Good morning, handsome! Have a great day ahead.”
- “I just want to tell you how handsome you are. Have an amazing day!”
“You’re the most attractive man I’ve ever known.”
Say he’s better than anyone you’ve ever dated. This exaggerated compliment shows him that you think about no one else but him. Not only will you call him handsome, but you’ll make him feel truly amazing. You can also say something like:
- “You’re the most handsome guy I’ve ever dated.”
- “I don’t even know how to describe how handsome you are.”
“I miss your handsome face.”
Tell him you miss him and that he’s incredibly handsome. With this text, he’ll understand how much you care about him, and how attractive he is in your eyes. If you haven’t been able to meet for a while or haven’t had a date together in some time, this is a great message to send. You could say something like:
- “It’s been so long since I’ve seen your handsome face.”
- “I can’t believe it’s been a month since I last saw your handsome face.”
“You look so handsome today.”
Send a message after a date or after hanging out with your boyfriend. If you're too shy to compliment him in person, you can send a message afterward. Perhaps he refreshed his look or you’re simply enchanted by him. You could also say something like:
- “I’m too shy to say this in person, but you’re so handsome.”
- “Your outfit today is amazing. You look really handsome.”
“You look so handsome in that picture!”
Compliment a picture he posted or sent to you. If you think he looks great, let him know! He’ll be happy to hear it, especially since men don’t often receive compliments. You can even compliment a photo he posted on social media. Try texting something like:
- “Wow, that picture is amazing. You look fantastic.”
- “You look so handsome in that photo.”
“Send me a selfie of you.”
Say you want to see his handsome face. If you two are apart or haven’t seen each other in a while, asking for a selfie is a sweet way to reconnect. Once he sends it, make sure to compliment his looks. You could say:
- “I want to see that handsome face. Can you send me a selfie?”
- “I miss you. Can you send me a photo of yourself today?”
“We make a really good couple.”
Send him a picture of the two of you that you truly love. When you say that you two make a perfect couple, you’re complimenting both of you. You’re also implying that you’re a great match, which is a sweet message to send to someone you like. You could say something like:
- “I’m so lucky to have such a handsome boyfriend like you.”
- “We look great in that photo (especially you).”
“I dreamed about your handsome face.”
Your mind might be reminding you just how handsome he is. If you dreamed about him last night, let him know! Be sure to mention how handsome he looked in your dream while giving him a compliment. You could also say something like:
- “I had the craziest dream last night, but I loved it because you looked so handsome in it.”
- “Do you want to hear about that dream? You were the star!”
“You have such a nice beard.”
If he's growing a beard, tell him you like it. Some guys care a lot about their appearance when trying out a new beard style, so be sure to compliment it to boost his confidence. He’ll be happy that you noticed, and it will make him feel more confident about skipping shaving for a few days. You could say something like:
- “I love that beard, keep it like that! It makes you look rugged and even more handsome.”
- “Trying out a beard? I like it!”
“Your hair looks really good today.”
If he’s sporting a new hairstyle, tell him you love it. Maybe he just got a haircut or added some highlights. Either way, tell him his hair looks great to make his day. This is a good idea if his hair is a prominent feature of his appearance. You can text something like:
- “Did you do something different with your hair today? It looks great.”
- “I forgot to mention, your hair looks amazing today.”
- “I love that hairstyle! You look so handsome.”
“You look like Ryan Reynolds.”
Compare him to a celebrity he somewhat resembles. Even if they don’t look exactly alike, the comparison will make him happy (especially if he thinks that celebrity is handsome). While he might brush it off, he’ll still love being compared to a famous good-looking person. You could also say:
- “That new haircut makes you look like Harry Styles. I love it!”
- “You’re so handsome, people might mistake you for Brad Pitt!”
“That shirt really highlights your blue eyes.”
If you like his outfit, tell him. You might feel shy to say it directly or perhaps didn’t think about it until later. If you just saw him looking great, message him about it. You could say something like:
- “Your outfit looks amazing today. You look so handsome.”
- “I really liked the shirt you wore earlier. You're going to succeed in everything.”
Advice
- Some guys feel awkward when receiving compliments, usually because they’re not accustomed to them.
