When should I (17M) start complimenting my girlfriend (16F) on her legs and overall body?

I doubt I'll be able to reply to absolutely all 74 comments, but I did read them all. Either ways, I'm replying to this one, since this is the most upvoted one.

I honestly had no idea that my post would come off as so cute/adorable/love-able. I just simply thought of it as a simple Q&A thing. But I'm glad that you like it so much :)

It does indeed come off as super cute when a couple truly loves each other. I love seeing it. Whether it's real life couples just hugging, or well written characters in movies/books (heck, sometimes even in cartoons and anime/manga)...I love seeing it, as love is a truly beautiful thing.

And I didn't realize it, since I was the one who wrote it. I'm not very good at judging what I myself do. I always see it as flawed.

But I do indeed truly love my girlfriend, and I just simply wanted to know if it would be okay to compliment her on her legs/body, or if it'd come off as weird/too sexual and make her uncomfortable. And I obviously don't want the latter, as I love her more than anything, and I want her to feel respected, instead of objectified for her body.

And thinking of it in a third person view, if a guy really loved his girlfriend that much, and had such respect and compassion for her boundaries...yeah, I'd indeed find it pretty cute.

Overall, having read all the responses...I think it'd indeed be fine, but what I should do is also compliment her face, hair, and on her mind/personality/good things she does just as much. That way, I'm letting her know, but I'm also telling her that I see her as an actual person (and like her for her personality too, not just her body), and not just a walking pair of legs.

Doing the above should be fine. And she's usually pretty calm/chill, too. I don't think she'll have a problem with it at all.
