You are so lucky? You were so lucky?
If my friend tells me, "Oh I got to know a beautiful girl today!"
Should I reply "You are so lucky!" or "You were so lucky!" ?
Hard to decide because it was a past event (got to know a girl), so I think I should use "You were so lucky!"
but looks like he is still happy now, and he is still lucky at the point of speech.
Which one?
