[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 400037"] There would be this long pause while I tried to find a way to phrase it using some degree of tact. This is where the gifted part kicks in, though - it depends. Not every situation is the same. My friends have learned that you do not ask me a question if you're afraid of the answer. I've gotten better at saying "Maybe that pair of jeans would be better" instead of saying "Yes, those make your butt look fat." Generally if I say something like "How do I put this nicely..." chances are you won't like the answer. And with me, you pretty much have to ask point blank, because if you don't specify EXACTLY what info you're looking for, I'm going to be answering you with questions until I figure it out, you ask outright, or you give up and ask someone else. I can really come across as dense sometimes because of this. There's so many variables to things that I consider when I make a decision or answer an open-ended question. [/QUOTE]
