As nice as it is to compliment your man on his eyes or his smile, they’re comments that he’s probably heard a million times before. If you want

your compliment to feel extra special, then you should try commenting on something that most people wouldn’t notice. That way, he’ll realize just how much you love him and pay attention to him. Here are a few unique compliments that he probably hasn’t heard before.

1. He Looks Cute when He’s Not Trying to Be

The best thing to compliment someone on is something they don’t even realize that they do. Tell your man how adorable his face looks when he’s lost in a book, or how adorable he sounds when he gets excited over a hockey game. Pointing out something small that he never knew he did will make him realize that you know him better than he knows himself.

2. He Makes You Feel Beautiful

Instead of telling your man how gorgeous he is, tell him that he makes you feel gorgeous. It’ll show him how much you appreciate the way he treats you. Plus, it’ll make him feel like he’s doing a great job as your boyfriend, and there’s no greater accomplishment than that.

3. His “Flaws” Are as Cute as His Strengths

Give him genuine compliments about the things he considers flaws, like his freckles or the way he looks in his glasses. That way, he’ll realize that you love him, despite his flaws. In fact, you don’t even consider his flaws to be flaws. You love them just as much as you love everything else about him.

4. He Carries Himself with Confidence

We’re always told that confidence is the sexiest quality a man or woman can have. However, no one ever really gets complimented on their confidence. That’s why it’s time for you to tell your man you love the way he walks and talks with so much confidence. Let him know it’s a major turn on.

5. He Has Great Taste

People can become very defensive over their favorite musicians and television shows. If your man recommends a book for you to read and you end up loving it, thank him for the suggestion and compliment him on his great taste. Reminding him that you have something in common is a great way to strengthen your relationship.

6. He’s Good at What He Does

Most people don’t feel like they get enough recognition for a job well done, especially when it comes to their career. If you know that your boyfriend’s boss never compliments him on his work effort, then you should take it upon yourself to do the complimenting. Let him know that you can see how hard he tries to be successful and that you think he’s great at what he does. He’ll appreciate it.

7. He Makes You Feel Safe

Instead of telling your man how happy he makes you or how much you love spending time with him, tell him that he makes you feel safe. Men love to play the role of the big strong watchdog, so he’ll be delighted by the compliment.

Your man deserves to know how much you care about him, which is why you shouldn’t hesitate to give him compliments. What’s the most unique compliment that you’ve ever been given?
