Saccharine is sweet, but it can be sickening sweet. How to say sweet things to a girl. This is Doctor Paul, author of "Boomer Girls, A Boomer Woman's Guide To Men And Dating", and host of "Ask Doctor Paul". So you want to say sweet things to girls, okay. That can be overdone. And it becomes saccharine sweet, almost sickening sweet. Do you think you're going to make points with that? I don't think so. So how do we do it? The way we do it is very simple, we do it from the under sweet. Alright, the almost sweet. You have very nice, charming look today. That's sweet, but it's not overdone. When I think of women I've known, I look at you and I feel really sweet. That can work, maybe a little over their top than you want. I'm trying to give suggestions to you that make it happen, but do it with subtlety. Don't come on too strong, iIt's suspect when you do. That's the way you get results. And don't say it loudly, say it softly. You know when you whisper, people listen. The same thing is true when you give a compliment. You say sweet things in an undertone, in a subtle way. You have a very clever look about you today. What does that say? I don't know. And she doesn't know either, but she's going to project into that what she wants to think clever may be. You said something sweet to her. And it's going to engender warmth. If it brings out a smile, that's good. If it brings out a, uh uh. That isn't good. If it's a smirk, it doesn't work. If it's a smile, you're there. This is Doctor Paul, may your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow.
