Girls can be hard to understand sometimes. It can feel like cracking an impossible code or doing mental gymnastics.
 
It doesn’t have to be, because we’re about to reveal the top 5 reasons why a girl calls you handsome:
 

01She thinks you’re attractive
 
This is the most obvious reason. Think about why you call a girl pretty or hot.
 
It’s because you think she is attractive. Just because she calls you handsome, it doesn’t mean she wants to be with you as it can be a platonic statement.

02She’s trying to butter you up
 
Sometimes, women play at our weaknesses to their advantage. When a girl we like calls us handsome, we’re willing to do anything she asks, and she knows that.
 
Usually, the request comes right after you’re done reacting positively to the compliment. It becomes pretty obvious at this point.

 
 

03She’s just being nice
 
Maybe she’s just being nice and wants to put a smile on your face. This can be a random stranger or someone you already know.
 
This sometimes means she’s interested but isn’t always the case. Wait for more clues before you respond.

  

 

04She’s your girlfriend and wants to give you a compliment
 
Your girlfriend will call you handsome to brighten your mood. She may also call you handsome because you look extra good that day to her.

A girl you don’t know will call you handsome to start a conversation, make it clear she has a crush or simply to leave a mark on you. This mark will cause you to think about her if you think she’s cute or make you want to avoid her if you’re not feeling it.
