Do I look fat? or Have I gained weight?

I’ve never actually asked a guy these, but I hear they hate it!

She puts you on the spot with:

“What do you think of \_\_\_\_\_'s hair?” (who is right there)

You hope they were just saying how AWFUL it looks short, then think that’s too honest, so settle for “it will grow out again, I guess”.

Later, when she cuts off two years’ growth of her own hair, and you’re stunned, she says “But you said you LIKED \_\_\_\_'s haircut!”

Holding up two different outfits, one in each hand, and asking: “Which one do you think I should wear tonight, honey? No, really. Which one do I look best in?”
