Dear mlmbd ,

How do you answer this question? A girl asks you, "Do you notice anything different about me today?" You look at her, and you don't notice anything at all that's different from usual. She probably did something with her hair or got new shoelaces or something, but if you guess wrong, you're in big trouble! If you say you don't know, you're in big trouble! What do you do?

First, I (partially) agree with mlmbd's answer - if she had to ask, you're probably already in trouble. HOWEVER, the fact that she DID ask means she's giving you a second chance. This probably means you're on the GOOD ladder (thanks for posting the ladder theory link, dead meat). And, not only are you on the good ladder, you are probably at least as high on her ladder as she is on yours; possibly higher (or, in ladder theory language, you are at least equal and possibly in a position of power). All of which means you should definitely say something complimentary; perhaps along the lines of "your beauty is so distracting I can't tell what's different". You'll either get slapped for the cheesy line, or you'll get lucky. The chance of getting lucky is (usually)worth the risk of getting slapped.

BTW - I take no responsibility for any pain, injury or suffering resulting from following the above advice. Use at your own risk.

Did I use enough boldface, italics and bold italics to acheive the right level of credibility for this thread?
