Susanna: Good afternoon, Beautiful!
Me: … hi.
S: Did you hear what I said?
M: Yeah.
S: I call you beautiful.
M. Um... yeah.
S: You are the most beautiful man I ever work with I think.
M: ... thanks.
Carries on in a similar vein.
S: No, you are! I’m not saying you are the most beautiful boy in the world, but you have a nice face, good English, you are “cool”.
M: ... thanks.
I felt bad, but I thought saying, "and you’re great too," would be transparently dishonest and such deliberate ignoring of the evidence would be like flat-earthism or Beckham-hating.
