Hey, I have a moral question.

If my boyfriend (25yo) shows me a photo of him as a kid, and asks me “Was I cute?” What is the appropriate response?

Of course my boyfriend is so cute, but saying that him as a kid was cute is inappropriate? Just because he was like 12yo in that picture?

Where is the line here? I usually refuse to have opinions on kids appearances because usually I have none, and I don’t know if saying that a kid looks “cute” is creepy.

    Would you tell a 12 year old kid if they were cute?

      I don’t think so, I don’t talk to children in general. Every interaction with children always feels like walking on eggshells so I just say Hi, and stick to common courtesy. I just don’t know how to talk to them.

        And I think that this is the crux of the weirdness. It isn’t strange for people in general to say it, but it is for you. And that is fine.

        However, I can see that being hard to explain to someone.
