#Dating - Why doesn't my partner compliment me anymore?

Everyone likes to be made to feel special, we all like to be complimented no matter what we think. When we are in relationships we think that it's just a part of the relationship...so when your partner doesn't compliment you anymore the first thing you think is "Do they even like me anymore?"...The truth is...they probably still do!

With guys they act differently to females who are very emotionally driven. Many guys will act like they don't care about girls to make them feel insecure...that's just game playing and NOT ON! (same goes for girls who do this too!)

These types of guys won't compliment a girl to make sure the girl is only thinking about them...stopping them from going and finding someone that WOULD compliment them and essentially wondering why the guy they like isn't complimenting them. This allows the guy to be in complete control. He knows that he can be in control of the relationship by ensuring that the woman isn't hearing what she wants to hear. This is very cruel however it does work for a lot of guys and if he is holding back the compliments then there is a chance that he does actually like you but is just playing games.

9 times out of 10 he is winning when he sees the effect he is having on you and you want to hear from him more, you want to read into the smiles and are dying to hear him say a kind word to you. You are wanting to be acknowledged and this continues the cycle...you're playing right into his hand. This is a very effective method for guys who are very good at getting the attention of girls because it works.

What you need to ask yourself is if you really like him enough to keep playing the game. You need to know if getting a compliment from him is worth the headache? If it isn't then it's time to move on.

The part that sucks is that the guys who play these games are generally more interested in the game than the person they are playing with, if they do end up dating you then they will definitely wear the pants in your relationship, they know how to manipulate you and will continue to do it, this leaves you in a very vulnerable position...is it really worth it?
