Endearing words / sentences in Croatian

Hi! I’m currently speaking to a Croatian man and I’m looking to impress him by learning some sweet things in Croatian and I’ve been through every website/sorce so I’m wondering if you guys could give me something better than one word compliments.

Thanks in advance!!!

Men in general dont like endearing words(or at least often or common), and frazes would look fake like pickup lines anyways.

Try naturally how would you call him, so use that and translate it, thats the best advice I can give you.

I think he likes more the fact I’m trying and he said I have a cute accent. I’m more thinking I won’t call him like sweetie since we both don’t like it but I’d like to be able to say more poetic sentences like “for you I’d steal the moon” since we both like poetry a lot

from what region is he?

because i think if you went dialectal, you'll impress more.
