If I say to a girl "you're nice"
If I say to a girl "you're nice" - will that be considered as a compliment or just something like as "you are ok"? Or are there more natural phrases to make a compliment?
Thanx!And from the answers below, a context is to be clarified. Well, it's about saying to a woman, that she looks beautiful for me (as a woman); not about she's polite or decent or pleasant, etc. To say, that I like her very much (maybe even fell in love with her:) ). Such kind of compliments I meant.
And that has to be both politeelegant and informative - really, to not say like "you attract me as a female"...
And I guess there are better expressions for all that... Could you please show me those? ... or I risk to get into a situation when either I'm not understood or get a slap :)
And, BTW, did I explain all that correctly?
Thanks a lot for all!

What do you understand for the word NICE ? Well, 'you are nice' means everything that word means (polite, decent, pleasant, etc ) By the way, it always depends on the context, but generally, yes... it is a good compliment .
(If we don't know what exactly you are trying to say, we can't help you with other compliments... too risky ^^ )

After details :
Ohhh, now you are talking ! Ok, you could say: Would you like to be the strawberry for this cheesecake? hahahahaha... I know, I know... sounds ridiculous. Why don't you try saying what you are thinking in that very moment? I believe shy guys are cute and it's absolutely better when you hear something spontaneous than something prepared ( in these kind of things)
Good luck ! No one is going to slap you =D if you are kind. Speak your feelings, it works !!!!

I don't recommend just telling her she is nice. Tell her she is amazing. And tell her exactly why you think she is amazing. Tell her in different ways. You don't have to be direct about it, you can compliment her during regular conversation. Notice the positive things she does and let her know that you notice it. It shows you care about her and that you admire her for her good traits. Paying attention to what she likes, what she wants, and what she needs is very important. BE OBSERVANT!!
Another thing you can do is find out about the things she likes. For example, if she likes strawberry cheesecake, find a store or restaurant that has delicious strawberry cheesecake and take her there. If you are too shy to do that, you can buy a slice for her and give it to her. It's the small things that count. But whatever you do, do NOT ask her if she would "like to be the strawberry for this cheesecake". Oh my god. LOLLL Jennifer is a BAD influence!! haha

I hate that word "nice". Wishy washy and means nothing.

I would prefer: you look beautiful. "Nice" is so usual word...

"You're nice" is nicer than "you're ok". I agree with the above. The girl you're talking to would certainly wonder what do you mean. So, have an appropriate answer ready :o)
