One of the most attractive features of a woman are her eyes. And by making eye contact with an attractive woman, you can make any girl feel a deep emotional connection. So it makes sense that most guys want to learn how to compliment a girl’s eyes to express how they feel and to foster an even deeper connection.
Of course, no one wants to come off weird or creepy. And saying the wrong thing about a girl’s eyes may lead to a bad outcome or missed opportunity. So in this guide, we will take a look at how to compliment someone’s eyes in a way that she’ll appreciate.
What You Need Before You Start Complimenting Her Eyes
Before you can even begin giving compliments about her eyes, she has to see you and establish some sign that she’s approachable. Let’s take a look at a number of ways to catch her eye so you can approach her with greater success.
Be in the right place
It’s important to meet women at the right places where they’re most receptive to romantic advances. While many pickup artists claim to be able to meet women anywhere, the truth is that there are optimal places to meet women and suboptimal places. For example, meeting a woman at a cafe or a bar can be a cinch; however, compare this to meeting a girl in a doctor’s waiting room.
Here’s a personal anecdote that may shed some light on this scenario:
In one of my attempts to find better-quality women, I chose to hang around a busy library in the Bay Area to meet women. Outside was an area where people would sit on benches before or after coming to the library. I happened to walk outside and a girl sat down to eat her homemade lunch. We struck up a long conversation and before I knew it, we were in a long-term relationship...
Years later, I asked her why she let me talk to her in the first place, her reply was telling: “Why do you think I sat down near you?”

Don’t force it
If you’re looking to make eye contact with a woman, don’t stare or try some awkward behavior that will try to get her attention. Women are incredibly aware of any threats in their immediate area, and if she puts you in the “threat” category, you’re out of luck.
That’s why it is important to avoid constantly looking in her direction, sitting too close to her or in her direct line-of-sight when there are other seats available, or any other behaviors that can put her in an uncomfortable situation.
That being said, there are some women who are socially awkward or unaware. Sometimes they’re just not interested in you or anyone at all. So don’t push it!
Look for indicators of interest
Women are acutely aware of who is a sexually viable man in their area. In fact, you should know that women have better peripheral vision than men, so her visual feed is optimized to spot threats and potential partners with greater acuity than most men. And in response, she will unconsciously adjust herself to get your attention.
You’ll want to look for classic preening behaviors, such as her playing with her hair, adjusting her makeup, stretching to reveal her cleavage, exhaling loudly (relaxing), adjusting her bra - the list goes on, but her intent is to catch your attention above the “noise” of everyday life.
If you catch these behaviors, you may be able to look in her direction and catch her catching a glimpse of you. If she makes eye contact, starts to blush, and/or smiles, you can definitely give her a “beautiful eyes” compliment (see below for examples).
Establish a presence by talking to others
Being friendly and chatty with other people in her vicinity is a smart move to register on her radar. It shows confidence and eases the interaction, giving her a preview of your personality and status before uttering a single word.
To do so, it helps to visit the place where you search for women often, calling cashiers, receptionists, and other staff by their first name, and adding in some small talk. For friend groups, it’s best to do the same, addressing other people with familiarity. This type of social proof is invaluable when trying to catch a woman’s attention.
Also, talk a little louder if you think she’ll be able to hear it or do something within in her line of sight (e.g. opening your laptop, stretching, etc.), but the overall idea is to announce that you’ve arrived.
Present the best version of yourself
Women are always on the lookout for a well-kept man that takes care of himself. You need to be able to convey your personality, finances, and status all in the way you dress and take care of your body.
This includes such things as:
- Proper hygiene
- Using pleasant scents
- Grooming yourself
- Wearing appropriate clothing (e.g. avoiding dirty work clothes or worn-out clothing, etc.)
If you don’t tick off these boxes, you can expect it to be much harder to catch her eye.
Locking eyes
If you catch her staring at you or vice versa, make sure to hold eye contact. Hold it long enough so that she looks away - either downwards (good) or away (less good). If you break eye contact too early, she may think you are too intimidated. If she looks overly fearful or disgusted, then don’t bother approaching.
Also, don’t lock eyes and walk directly over to her without breaking eye contact. This often is perceived as creepy and threatening behavior and you may get a threat response that kills the mood.
How to Compliment a Girl’s Eyes The Right Way
Now that you’ve got her attention, it’s time to approach her and give her some beautiful eyes compliments.
The following are some great tips on how to compliment a girl’s eyes, including coming up with a good compliment for her eyes and ways to make yourself more comfortable with the process.
Practice
If you’re reading this article, then chances are you haven’t had much success or experience in complimenting a girl’s eyes. Like any other talent or skill, giving beautiful eyes compliments requires practice.
Cashiers and store clerks are the best way to practice in a low-risk manner without long-term consequences. You can get in a couple of reps per day simply by making small purchases and tossing a compliment - man or woman. Choose any feature of the person you’re talking to (hair, nails and makeup are safe bets to compliment) and get some feedback from each interaction. As you get real-world experience, you will be ready for when it counts.
How you say the compliment
In truth, most of what we say is more based on quality than content. Your voice intonation behind the words of the compliment matters. The best way to authentically compliment a girl‘s eyes is to simply speak from the heart.
Instead of a killer line that you need to rehearse, there’s a lot that can be conveyed from a simple statement as “Hello, you have really pretty eyes.” Women can tell when you’re being authentic and the confidence comes naturally from stating how you feel.
Compliment her eyes on the emotions they exude
Eyes convey inner emotional states, so it can be a great compliment to not simply compliment her physical characteristic but tap into her inner emotional state. The following are some examples:
- Your eyes are bright
- Your dark eyes are intense
- Your eyes seem to radiate serenity
- You have laughing eyes
Tell her that her eyes look like those of a celebrity
Telling her that her eyes look or remind you of a celebrity is a great way to kindle her imagination. This gets her to fantasize about what you really feel about her and draws a positive association. After all, celebrities are standards of beauty and her having those qualities is a compliment in itself.
Here are a few examples:
- Has anyone ever told you you look like [a celebrity], especially her eyes?
- You have the eyes of [celebrity]
Some women have eyes set further apart, like Kate Bush. Squinty, narrow eyes can be Kirsten Dunst. Exotic like Björk. Wide like Mila Kunis. Erudite like Gillian Anderson.
Whatever the eye type, just make sure to choose a familiar celebrity to sell the compliment better.
Finish off your compliment with a question
You probably don’t want to finish the compliment and run. Instead, a compliment to her eyes can be a great icebreaker to start a fresh conversation. Here are a few examples:
- You have the most peaceful eyes I’ve ever seen. You don’t happen to work as a teacher, do you?
- Your dark eyes are so mysterious and searching. You must love to travel and explore the world, right?
Compliment her eye color
Eyes obviously come in different colors, so why not state the obvious? Most women’s eye colors will usually fall into one of the following:
- Amber
- Blue
- Brown
- Gray
- Black
- Green
- Hazel
- Red
If you have a more creative mind, you can add physical objects to give an original compliment. Nature-themed compliments are great choices, such as:
- I love your blue eyes. They remind me of the ocean.
- Your hazel eyes are like fields of wild grass.
- I see a lush forest in the green of your eyes.
These compliments are effective because you're appreciating and noticing the details of her beauty, not just commenting on her general looks.
Compliment her eyes by saying how they make you feel
Women are flattered when their physical beauty has an effect on men. Therefore, combine those feelings you have with a genuine compliment for the best effect:
- Ooo, I could get lost in your eyes…
- Has anyone ever told you that you have incredible eyes? They made my heart jump when I saw you before.
- Your eyes are so seductive that I couldn’t help but to say hello
Compliment her eye makeup
Most women wear some form of makeup, so it’s not uncommon for her to enhance her eyes with some color. If she’s taken the time to dazzle up her eyes, pointing it out is a testament to her skill in beautification. Whether her eyelashes are framed in mascara or her eyelids are coated in blended colors, compliments to her artistry are usually welcome (that’s why she wore it in the first place).
When it comes to compliments, giving one about her physical appearance may seem like a no-brainer. But it’s easy to give a genuine compliment but end up sounding a little creepy. Complimenting a girl’s eyes is a pretty safe option: you’re complimenting a feature on her face, not making comments on her figure. Try out these tips today and see how many women appreciate your compliment.
