Sometimes, we don’t say sweet things to the people we care about because we don’t think they’re a big deal. But they are. In fact, your sweet nothings can be stored away for decades.
Stanford University researchers discovered that we tend to remember positive comments far longer than negative ones. What’s more, hearing compliments can actually lead to greater persistence, motivation, and trust in a relationship.
Plus, who knows? Maybe the next time you need a compliment, she’ll be the one to say something sweet to you.
Remember:
Don’t forget to be genuine with the compliments you give. You know her better than anyone, so pick qualities that you truly admire about her. Nothing will ruin a potentially sweet moment faster than realizing that he has no idea who you are as a person. Speak from your heart, and she’ll thank you for it.
