This guy tells me, "You got a lot prettier from last year."
I think (and say), "What the heck?"
He says, "I'm just kidding. You couldn't get any prettier than you are now."

LM answered Wednesday September 12 2007, 9:35 am: I'd take it as a compliment. He's basically saying that he thinks you're pretty. Guys say things wrong & offend girls when they're actually trying to compliment you. Since he said "I'm just kidding. You couldn't get any prettier than you are now" that just about guarantees that he didn't mean it as an insult =]
