You may be running into a number of issues:

  • The compliment may have been perceived to have been hollow...where the person you complimented did not, himself, feel that a compliment was in order.
  • There may have been a cultural aversion to compliments. Some people do not like to be complimented for just doing their job.
  • The compliment may have been perceived to be a 'come on'--that you are trying to ingratiate yourself or to create a relationship that didn't exist or is unwelcome.
  • You might have unintentionally given a 'left handed (backhanded) compliment'. Did you say something like "You look a lot better than you usually do."?
  • He might feel that it is not your place to be evaluating his performance.
