I don't know about this one woman that I met. I am getting mixed signals about her. We met online on match.com and we chatted and went on a first date. From what I saw in the first date she looked like she had a great time getting to know me. We agreed upon meeting for dinner this coming week. She texted me back and said that she had a nice time with me the following day. I told her likewise. Then during the mid week I just sent a a quick hello how are you doing message and she replied. I told her that I thought that she is a very nice person and I liked the way she smiles. After saying that I got no acknowledgement from her as a thank you. I have dated many women who would acknowledge compliments like that and I didn't hear nothing for that. She just then diverted to discussing the weather. I told her also that because this is s new year that my year started off great meeting someone new like her and looking forward in getting to know her and that she is s very nice person . Again no acknowledgement on that compliment either. As I say again I dated women in the past and normally they would acknowledge something like that with a thank you or that she looks forward in getting to know me as well. My question is is should I move on and cut my losses with her because I have a feeling that she is talking to some other guys as well? Or is she just plain cold and doesn't know what she wants? Because if that is the case I don't want to waste my time with her . Please help

... Or perhaps she doesn't take compliments well?

She felt uncomfortable about them since she barely knows you?

She worried that you are moving too fast, especially after the second compliment?

There are lots of options, and really, it's not unreasonable that she might be talking to other guys right now.

Would you want someone to give up on YOU at this point?

Well I am not moving too fast . I am not looking for a one night stand with her as well. I barely know her as well. Plus why would she not like compliments like that? As I said I dated plenty of women who would acknowledge nice compliments like that unless she has a confidence problem and is just looking for a free meal ticket out of me then dump me.

You seem to have made up your mind, even though you admit you barely know her.

Maybe she IS a jerk, as you seem to think. Maybe she has bad manners.

But ... Women are different. You've dated plenty who like those compliments, but apparently she doesn't.

You sent one compliment she didn't acknowledge, so why did you double down with another one?

Are you in your 40s?

No in my 30s and so is she. We are both mid 30s


Maybe she is playing hard to get because women who are mature enough to date would accept nice compliments like that. I wasn't telling her that I want to jump into bed with her and have wild sex. I am not that kind of person. I want to get to know whom I am dealing with as well and if she is playing hard to get I don't want to waste my time with someone like that

Maybe you should assume that she just agrees that she has a nice smile and is a nice person.

Women are not required (nor are men) to fall over themselves thanking others for unsolicited compliments.

Quit complimenting her and see how this goes.

If you want a woman you can compliment who will thank you profusely for bestowing compliments upon her, quit talking to this one, because she does not seem to be willing to do that.

ETA: Not thanking a person for a compliment does not mean that the compliment wasn't read, heard, or understood. Or even that the compliment wasn't accepted.

Exactly. It's all part of the process of getting to know each other and evaluating compatibility.

If there is stuff bothering you about her already, then just end it and move on. I don't think there is any motive or secret meaning behind not acknowledging a compliment. Some people acknowledge them, some don't. Obviously acknowledging them is important to you and since this woman doesn't and it's bothering you a lot, it's not a match.

Well she is giving signals already that she can be very cold as a person and that is something I am not too comfortable with. A mature woman who looks forward in dating and wanting to meet someone will appreciate
Nice compliments from a gentleman. I was raised to treat a women with respect and be a gentleman on a date. Again who appreciate a gentleman on a date sounds mature enough to date. Because if she is unpredictable like that she will have a difficult time finding the right guy.

Well evaluating compatibility is what am doing and it is not my style to hop in the sack with her after the first date but it is my style to be a gentleman on a date
