Dave: I doubt he means to be rude—he’s probably just oblivious. Not all guys see that great stuff, like glitter polish, that we’re not supposed to miss. If it’s that important to get props about your clothes, hair and such, then point out your new bangs and butterfly pin to him. And be ready for his comment because it could be he doesn’t totally dig your new cropped ’do. So rather than hurt your feelings, he figured he’d keep his trap shut. Can you go for a guy who doesn’t get the subtlety of highlights? It’s up to you.
