If it is your loved one asking then tell her why you love her.

  You haven't ever tried this, have you?

    Criticism should always be specific. (And should suggest a way to re-mediate the issue) No: "You look fat", "You suck at maths", "RTFM" Yes: "That dress is wrong for your body. It makes you look fat. Try this one", "You need to work on your fractions more - here; I'll help", "Rather than asking it here, this manual over here (link) answers your questions. Try chapter 5" // I forgot to add a reason. Truth is important. I'm much harsher on those that I love than strangers - the reason is that hearing any truth gives you an opportunity to grow. I never lie to my wife / close friends because I care about them, and not just about their feelings. I'd rather hurt their feelings in the short term, than damage them in the long term.
