In my childhood, people used to say to me: "You are so cute!"
I didn't like it, so I began to say this: "I am handsome."
When I was a teenager, my classmate told me that some girls seemed to have interest in me. Then I said "Oh, yeah. 'cause I am a handsome."
"...Yes, you are..." The classmate replied in a very serious face. Oops. So I began to use the word "beautiful" instead of using "handsome".
Now, I am in middle-age. Am I still "beautiful"?
Maybe... When I was in NY, some Americans said: "You are beautiful." Am I?
"Oh, You don't know how beautiful you are..." Oops.
What the next word can I use for myself? "Sexy"? lol
