I’m not really sure about that. I think if I told most people in my social circles that, they would look at me like I’m very weird.

I’m not necessarily saying they are wrong either. It’s a tough zone. If I imagine people I know saying that to me, in my head most of them come off lecherous and creepy.

I feel like close friends could say that stuff to me or vice versa but most of the time it would come off weird at best. Choice of words is also a big factor though. “Beautiful”, “gorgeous”, “attractive” are all more reasonable sounding to me than “hot” even though they all basically mean the same thing.

Wait really, just for thinking someone is hot and telling you, who's presumably their friend?
