I've got a girl friend (not girlfriend, but a friend that is a girl) that is really cool and into a lot of the same things as I am, but she can be pretty self-conscious. She has a twin sister, and she is the cooler one (IMO), but she left some message online earlier saying something like "I bet if I was more attractive I wouldn't be so bored."

Now she's not the MOST UNBELIEVABLY GORGEOUS GIRL IN THE WORLD, but she's pretty damn cute and I sort of like her...I just don't know the best way to word this for her. I don't want to say "pretty", because that seems to have a more negative connotation than I'd thought, and I think "gorgeous" is a bit too elegant of a word to use to describe her style, so I'm sort of stuck.

I just don't want to say anything that may likely offend her.

I've been out of the game for a while...haven't been with anyone in about 2.5yrs, and we get along pretty well, so I don't know exactly how to go about this.

Thanks for the input anyone.

We don't do anything past mild-flirting, discussing pot laws, classic rock, and talk about other almost-random shit, so it would be weird for me to just say, out of the blue, "I think you're beautiful"...but I think "cute" is not a strong enough word?

If you say you can't think of a word to describe her, you are thinking hard about how to not come across weird
