Nice

Surprising a lady you know with complements while in casual conversation is easily one of the best ways to flirt. That style of confidence, once figured out, can work wonders for men. She'll eventually find herself going to you (and only you) when she needs validation.

I'm always so excited when I see a new chapter of this

I was on board until "and only you". That's a red flag, boss. Socially isolating your crush is cringe

This shit mad cute still

 

[Kaarme]

Yeah, that kind of compliment sounds far more honest than saying she's cute when she's basically begging to be called cute.

In the comment they reacted to, not in the chapter

They also aren't crushes at this point, let's be honest. This is a romcom where they are already largely with each other and friends are occasional (they act more married than most parents lol).

On the contrary, happily married couples are often some of the most socially isolated units that exist. You can certainly choose to remain social instead of getting married, but in such a case, relationships would be rather pointless. Funnily enough, the main characters act more married than most married couples we encountered as kids lol.

I would say you're reading too much into it, as this happens naturally and it's mutually beneficial. One man providing the supermajority of validation that one woman needs is not some malicious effort to socially isolate.

We are raised in a culture so devoid of discussing positive outcomes, that nobody takes that risk. Most of us are doing relationships wrong when we say healthy stages in relationships are "red flags".

My bad, I seem to have misread your tone. If you meant to describe how it just naturally happens as a consequence of normal relationship, then yes, it's fine. But the way your initial comment phrased it, interpreted more "pick-up artist" vibes, where it is deliberately induced (and I stand by my claim that it would be a very red flag on a man). Text-only communication is hard 😅
