When a boy says to a girl, "You look great", is he coming on to her or showing his interest in her? Is the expression used similarly to "You are beautiful"?
- Inglês (EUA)
No. "You look great" is common politeness. You can say it to anyone. It compliments the person's clothing. It's most common when somebody is dressed up - for example, if I'm wearing a very nice dress and I meet a male friend, it's polite for him to say, "Hey, you look great!" Girls can say this to boys in similar situations.
On the other hand, if a boy says to a girl, "You are beautiful," he is almost certainly coming on to her. ;)
