Expert Answer

There are two types of people who ask these questions. First, they might be insecure about themselves, and they're not sure why you're their friend. They may also not value themselves, so they're looking for someone to validate them. Second, introspective people. They want to know what they're bringing to somebody, and they want to know what they can do more to make sure that they're meeting the needs of the other person. If you were asked this question, I would respond with genuine responses like, you're a great person and you're perfect just the way you are.

What should I say when a guy asks me what's so special about him?

Community Answer

It's the same basic question. Just be honest. Tell him what his best qualities are, why you agreed to go out with him, etc.

Question

How do I answer, "How do I look?"

Tom De Backer

Top Answerer

With great care! There are a thousand traps to avoid here. Always say the other person looks great. Look at the outfit first, and not just a bored glance, either; take a brief but intense interest, even if you couldn't care less. Feel free to say how you feel. If you think a woman looks sexy, say so. But try and be specific. Say you like the colors, the cut, the shoes, the top, or how the scarf brings out her eyes. But only if you mean it.

Question

What would be your reaction if I died?

Community Answer

I don't know you or anything about you, so I can't answer that question. If you were someone I knew and loved, I'd be very sad.

Question

How do I tell a boy I don't love him?

Community Answer

Just be honest, but diplomatic. If he's stated that he loves you, let him know how you feel. There is no need to feel guilty or bad because you don't return his love. This is a common scenario. Just remember that the heart knows what it wants and that love can't be forced.

What is the craziest thing about me?

No one can tell you the craziest thing about you without knowing you personally, but I bet your friends could give you an answer.

Question

What do I say if someone says to me, "Do you like our relationship?"

Community Answer

Answer honestly, but don't be too harsh. If you do not like the relationship, try to end it on a good note. Instead of saying "I don't like it," you should say something like "I like it but I wish we _______."

Question

We have just started dating, he has never mentioned that he loves me and he never texts first but immediately responds to all my text. Is this love?

Community Answer

Be careful, you've said that you've just started dating, and love takes time to develop. Trying to rush something that needs to come naturally and last will be counterproductive. You could ask him but it's really best to be patient and let the relationship develop over time before adding pressure to it.
