Zach and I have this idea for a little book of backhanded compliments. So far we have only worked out some standard ones ( winning “most improved”, “You have completely exceeded my expectations.”, “Who did your makeup?”), and some fat jokes (“I have a lot of friends, but you outweigh them all.”)
What are some of your favorites?
Others…I like your hair, especially the color at the roots.
Those blackheads form the cutest pattern!
You’re smart to do your laundry on Saturday night, when everyone else is out.
You have the greatest untapped potential of anyone I’ve ever dated.
I like your shoes. They look really comfortable.
I’m so jealous you don’t have to wear a bra everyday.
It’s so refreshing to have a conversation with someone who doesn’t feel the need to prove they are smart.
That tasted better than it looked.
You look so nice today, I almost didn’t recognize you.
Great haircut! It really slims your face.
And my favorite: Yeah, but in four years, he’ll be just another college graduate looking for a job. You’ll be a Home Depot assistant manager with four years of work experience.
