2. “Do you think she’s pretty?”
No, your girlfriend is not trying to set you up in a catch-22 situation, and there is a way out without getting slapped in the face. You must simply tread carefully. Your girlfriend will know that you’re lying if you say an obviously beautiful woman is not pretty. However, your girlfriend does not want you to say that you find another woman more attractive than herself. What she’s actually doing, is showing you that she is feeling particularly insecure about herself and her looks. Therefore, the best way to approach this situation would be to agree, that the other woman is beautiful, but to remind your girlfriend that she is beautiful too, and that she is much more than just a pretty face to you. She wants you to remind her why you are with her, and what is special about her.
