According to professional dating coach Blaine Anderson, there are three questions women ask that you should never answer directly — unless you want your date night to turn into a full-on emotional obstacle course.
In a now-viral Instagram post, Anderson breaks down her “gotcha question playbook” — and how men should respond if they want to stay in the relationship and out of the doghouse.
❌ Question #1: “Do I look fat in this?”
WRONG answer: Hesitating. RIGHT answer: “No, you look great.”
That pause? That glance? That “uhhh”? It’s all bad. Anderson says keep it breezy, confident, and don’t overthink it — just compliment and keep it moving.
❌ Question #2: “Do you think she’s prettier than me?”
This one’s a trap with a tripwire. Anderson’s advice? “Don’t look. Just say: ‘That would be impossible.’”
It’s not about debating beauty standards — it’s about shutting the door on comparisons before they start.
❌ Question #3: “Notice anything different about me?”
Ah yes. The mystery round. Anderson says to reply: “Aside from how you always look amazing?”
That gives you just enough time to scan for a new hairstyle, outfit, or detail without looking like you forgot what she looked like 20 minutes ago.
💬 Final Advice?
Tread carefully, kings. Some questions are less about answers and more about reassurance. And according to Anderson, it’s not about lying — it’s about understanding the moment.
