I went on date with some guy i met online and he literally complimented me from head to toe, " your hair's so nice, can i touch it" " you look even more beautiful in person"( he saw my picture before met) " you have good body shape" blah blah blah. he said it in a very natural and pleasent way. he himself was a very attractive guy.
it was the first date and guess what? he never called back
so i guess guys will say those things anyway even he's not slightly attracted to the woman?

It's just like anything else. There are sincere people and insincere people so one can't judge the whole from a part. Only you can tell by their manner and voice if they are sincere, but the way you described this person sounds a bit creepy.

women are uncomfortable with excessive attentive behavior
with good reason.
prep for a dump.
dating 101

I actually find that I have to refrain from complimenting a woman for fear she's gonna think I'm coming on to her. I've posted about this before. I saw this lady at the grocery store awhile ago and she looked great, her hair, makeup, what she was wearing, everything just really looked good.

I was almost gonna say something but then I kept my mouth shut........

I was in this flower shop in Miami and I was looking around and a guy at the counter just looked at me and said with some enthusiasm "You have really nice legs." Given the way he said it and the distance that was between us and the fact he wasn't trying to engage conversation, just making an observation, I could tell he wasn't coming on to me or anything and wasn't being creepy. I said "Thanks" and he went on his way. However, you could take that same situation and a different person and the way they say it or how they engage you in conversation and it could be really creepy. So, it's a case by case basis whether the compliment is sincere or not.

Gentlemen do but it isn't automatic. The rest are just trying to get laid.

Women prefer the compliments from the guys who want to get laid.

I'd love to hear the scientific research on this one - as it is so not true for ALL WOMEN!!

I must totally suck at giving compliments because most of the time they're met with disbelief. As a result I rarely give women any kind of compliment other than giving her some of my time.

Did you sleep with him? How long has it been since the date? He complimented you in the beginning, may have meant it but progressively his level of attractive to you decline. Complimenting fake or not builds brownie points in most occasions. When you first meet and one compliments, it also sends a signal that they see this "meeting" as a date and they hope it doesn't evolve into a "I had fun, but see you as more of a friend".

Maybe he's dating others and wants to see how the other dates go before calling.
