I was desperate for mine to do that. I wouldn't have left if he wasn't so withholding (which led to the ultimate withholding - "forgetting" to tell me about his vacation).
I think they need to be sure it's not someone who will take the praise/kind words out of context and read anything into it or think it's pointing in some boundary-crossing direction. I would not have taken it that way as I am very grounded in reality, and felt rejected by his ridiculous ban on expression of good feelings when they were so obviously there.
