Could he have meant it?

[mikjones123]

I was at a bar with friend. He said we are going to find the future MS. (my last name) for a handsome guy like me. I know he could have just been being nice, but he could have meant it right? He said later he sugarcoats with his son but no one else. Other guys have called me handsome as well lately. Not sure if they mean it or are just being nice/making me feel good.

Hmm, it's hard to say for sure if those guys really meant it or were just being nice. A few thoughts:

- When the guy at the bar first said he was looking for a future Mrs. YourLastName, that could definitely be real interest. Guys don't usually joke about marrying a girl they just met!

- The fact that he later said he doesn't sugarcoat with others except his son makes it sound like he genuinely thought you were a cool/handsome dude.

- Other guys calling you handsome too could be genuine too, since that's not a super common nice guy compliment.

I'd say there's a good chance at least some of them really did think you were good looking. We guys don't always know how to show interest properly though either.

If any of them seemed chill, maybe try casually hanging with them again one-on-one. See how they act - if they keep the compliments up or even try flirting a bit more, they probably dig you for real. Nothing to lose by putting yourself out there!

Don't get too hung up on it either way. You seem like a catch - their loss if they were just being polite dudes. Keep doing you man!

Guys tend not to BS about this matchmaking stuff. If he offers to introduce you to a woman, seriously consider it. As for people telling you that you are handsome, I have no idea. Even men are not as clueless as to say to a friend, "Dude, you are ugly af." My guess is, while you are Brad Pitt, (the vast majority of us aren't) you're doing okay. As humans we all tell to be harder on ourselves than we deserve.

That you’re handsome? Probably. Why would he otherwise. It’s probably pretty obvious.
