Go OverBoard With the compliments Don't compare her to a summer's day, Shakespeare. She'll know you are a fake and besides, summer in this part of the world? Don't overdo the compliments - you are making her uncomfortable.

Use the compliment as a pretext to touch You don't have to run your fingers through her hair after you tell her about her lush, gorgeous mane or worse get a closer look at her 'beautiful necklace'. Creep.

Tell her she looks like her mum Maybe the resemblance is genuine. But this works best when you are trying to impress the mum.

Ask if she takes compliment well

Don't be so politically correct. If you want to compliment her like a decent man, go ahead. Why ask? Besides, you don't want that awkward silence if she answers you in the negative.
