I mean, I can tell him that he’s the most handsome guy in the world and that I’d love to spend time with him and that he makes me smile, but those are all things I could say about anyone. And even if they’re true, they sound so generic and meaningless when they come out of my mouth.

And yet, it’s not like there are any clever ways to answer this question either. In fact, there are only two answers: either you lie or you tell the truth. But both of these options make me feel terrible because either way I’m lying — either by complimenting him or by being honest with him — which is why I’ve never found myself in this position before.

But now here we are. And I guess my answer is no. Because what do you think of me?
