When your Cebuano girlfriend is feeling uptight, sometimes the good old I love you and I miss you sometimes aren’t as impactful anymore. They don’t give the same feeling of butterflies the more times you hand them out.

However, you don’t need to be a language enthusiast or a love expert to speak the things that will make her heart melt.

If you want to catch her feelings off guard, you need to say more than just clichés. You need to say things that specifically make her feel special. And don’t just drop these love bombs anytime. It’s when she expects them the least when they make the most impact.

For inspiration, here are some sweet phrases that perfectly compliment a Cebuana woman.

1. “Your smile is so beautiful.”

Picture this. She’s talking nonstop — telling stories about her fulfilling day at work and a fun outing with friends. She has this radiant smile glued to her face.

Suddenly, you interrupt her and say, “Your smile makes me fall in love with you all over again.”

She stops talking — and tries to grasp the right words to say. She doesn’t find any. However, her much wider smile and almost teary eyes say it all. You just took her breath away.

2. “You cook so well.”

Cebuanas — much like most Filipinas, were taught to be nurturers and one day be good mothers. One of the skills they master early on is cooking.

If you get a Cebuana for a girlfriend, you’ll spend a lot of time in the kitchen. She’ll never miss the chance to show off her cooking skills.

Although you don’t have to pretend because she likely does cook very well, show a genuinely delighted expression after your first bite. Perfecting your favorite dish isn’t easy, but it’s well worth her effort if you truly enjoyed it.

Say, “You cook so well. I can’t wait to come home to your cooking every day,” and it will warm her heart like never before.

3. “You look so young for your age.”

If you’re yet to secure a Cebuana’s “yes,” this compliment always works.

Cebuanas age gracefully. They look young for their age compared to their Western counterparts. And they want you to notice that! Not that aging is a bad thing, but looking young means you still find them attractive.

Knowing she still has that youthful glow despite her age boosts her confidence. Make her feel that way and she’ll like you even more.

4. “I can’t believe you’re mine.”

Suppose you’re going out for a dinner date. Your Cebuana girlfriend will spend hours preparing to look her best. She may even shop beforehand to find the perfect dress. And before she leaves home, she’ll make several trips in front of the mirror to ensure every strand of hair is in place.

The goal is to make your jaw drop the moment you see her. She’s not necessarily fishing for verbal compliments. But, it will guarantee her an excellent night’s sleep if you gush and say, “You’re so beautiful tonight. I can’t believe you’re mine.”

No matter how fancy your words are, nothing beats sincerity as the most impactful factor of a good compliment. It will touch her heart more than you’ll ever realize.
