Don't ask, don't tell is a pretty good policy for things like that. I mean, he sees no reason to ask and I have no reason to tell. Not like he doesn't see the drool on my chin while we're watching True Blood.

I don't think I've ever encountered this situation with a date/bf. I can't imagine it would be a big deal to say someone else is good looking.

We don't really talk about everyday people in that capacity - but we both know which celebrities the other one thinks are hot. It's no big secret.

A year a go or so a girl asked me if I thought the Kardashians were hot and i said the Kardashians are hot and hairy. There is a lot of shaving going on in that house.

Many posters assumed the question is in regards to a celebrity or some stranger but I wonder if y'all would respond differently if it were about someone both of you know -- for example, your SO's bff?
I put this question in the same bucket as "Do I look fat in this?" and "If I die, would you remarry and, if so, would s/he look like me?"
There are no real good honest answers for them.

No, but I also don't gratuitously point out all the good-looking babes out there either.

My wife knows me way too well for her to ask me if I find someone attractive, because she already knows. On TV, back in the day, we had fun watching "Lost." She had Sawyer and I had Kate! Also, when "Law & Order" reruns used to come on TNT all the time, I knew the ones she would be really interested in -- the Benjamin Bratt years.

In real life, several years ago when we went to a gathering for my college class. she took one look at this 21 year old in my class, looked at me with a bemused expression and said, "You got a crush on her." And, yeah, I kinda did.

Nope but I haven't dated someone who asked loaded questions (or who thought asking one would be successful lol). Whenever I've been asked, it's just been out of curiosity and wanting to have an exchange about taste, not because their confidence was crossing its fingers.

This kind of openness is what I'm used to.
