Concerned sister asked about the proper etiquette of a man showing admiration for a woman

The following are shows of respectful praise

1 subtlety
2 keeping their distance
3 attention to your modesty zone
4 tasteful praise
5 lowering gaze
6 mirroring your good
Signs of disrespectful *attention*

1 too direct / close
2 persisting when you’re uncomfortable
4 distasteful praise
5 unrestricted gaze
6 use of meanness to indicate feelings*

*could signal abuse

In short, any form of disrespect coupled with praise is a strong warning sign
All of this is within the context of seeking marriage

If a woman repeatedly tells a man she’s not interested and he persists, this is also a warning sign

Outside such a context, a man has no right to explicitly express feelings, although implicit dignified praise is allowed
