Trust is 100% correct.
There are plenty of fish in the sea, drooling over one gives them more power than you'd like. You need to give yourself value, there is nothing wrong with a compliment, but you must draw the line before obsession and idolization.
There is a very very fragile balance you must strike between seeming like a dick and making yourself interesting by reason of curiosity. If you are like the rest of the guys who are into her, you are lumped into that category and remembered as such. If you can define yourself, even for a single moment, "against the grain" so to speak, you do yourself good.
Smothering a girl in compliments after a certain extent makes you look clingy, you need to preserve your manliness and tell a ho who fuckin runs dis shit.
If you disagree with me, then I'm sorry but you're wrong.
