I don't know how to respond to it, I mean she's pretty. I asked why and he said just I want to know what you think of her. I mean I know I've said he can ask me anything and I'll try and help him but I don't really know what to say about her, I've never met her and I don't know much about her. I mean yes we're friends but he has another friend who is a girl that he's been best friends with since they were younger so I don't know why he didn't ask her or something. Oh and I do like him and he knows it, I don't know if that helps anything at all.maybe I'm thinking about it too much but I just don't know if he's looking for a certain response or something.

And the guy has a girlfriend and I thought I said that but I guess I only thought to add it.

 Thats good that you kept your cool and didnt show any emotions, would keep him wondering. The fact that he knows you like him, I guess he just wants to see if you are the jealous type or just how much you like him.

I ended up just saying how I thought she was pretty and left it at that, he didn't ask for any other answers. I did get a little jealous by him sending me that picture and asking what I thought of her because he said how she is his ex, and I do think she is really pretty, but I didn't and won't tell him that i got jealous of her because i dont want him to know that i did get jealous.
Honeypie, he knows that I like him. And I'm not the type to talk smack about other girls or anyone actually.
Thanks again everyone for all your help

 Maybe he wants to see if YOU are interested in him or if you are the kind of girl to talk smack about other girls.
I would just tell him that you think she is pretty, but since you don't know her there isn't much else to say.
And a word of advice, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all or as little as possible. SPECIALLY not about friend's exes or current flames.

Oh she looks friendly
That is neither mean not flattering and it gives away nothing :) problem solved
If he presses for more information from you then I would say in a friendly way .. Like I said she does look friendly , but more importantly, what do YOU think of her? Afterall that's what matters
And then leave it at that
Be elusive and leave him guessing.

Hey, Men sometimes do things that have you digging the depts of your brain, asking why. I find it odd that he would request such and answer from you but here goes: There's a possibility that he likes you and he wants to see how you react to him showing you a pic of another girl (probably to make you jealous). There is also another possibility that he is trying to get an opinion from you, maybe he likes this girl and he wants to know what you think..for instance like if she would make a good partner for him. However, again, its odd that he would ask you if you think his ex looks pretty ..
