Complementing a girl in a relationship

[Snowblind13]

Hi Guys,

So I have a crush on a girl whom is dating someone else. We are currently just good friends and we text a lot. A few days ago she was at an event and we where texting when she got back. The topic of what she wore came up and I was almost tempted to say something along the lines of "I bet you looked very pretty", or words to that effect (which would have almost certainly been true..). I choose not to and play it safe but i feel now as it maybe I should have done it. My question is: As she is dating someone else would it have made her uncomfortable if I had done? Would it be wrong in some way? At the end of the day it is one friend (male) saying to another (female) she looked pretty. Is there anything wrong with that?


Just some backstory: After she started dating this other guy we got much more close and have been texting a lot more (50 ish texts a day on average). I think she may have a crush on me, im not sure but sometimes it seems that way.

Thanks very much,

Mark

if she's dating someone, then she's no go!

Don't try to flirt with her while she's in a relationship. That could end up very bad.

Complimenting her seems fine to me. On the other hand,trying to steer her away from the current relationship just seems douchey to be honest.

Complimenting isn't mutually exclusive with 'gaming' a girl. I compliment everyone all the time simply because I like to. It's not a means to 'get' anything, it's simply a mode of expression.

If this is the way you felt, then compliment her - make her feel good. In contrast if you were saying it to illicit a reaction, then it's going to be clear through youre sub-communications that your compliment was in-sincere.
