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.

      I’m not, just my BF asked me the question while he was looking at his younger pictures, and I didn’t know what to say.

        OK, serious response then - you seem to be confusing sexual attraction with the adorability of children.

        As long as your reply isn’t “well I’d smash that!” then you should be fine. Acceptable answers include: “who knew that kid would grow up to be such a spicy meatball as your good self” and “you look adorable” and “I’m glad you outgrew those ears/teeth” (delete where applicable).
