You look dashing!
Hi native speakers,
Do you think "You look dashing!" as a way to compliment someone to mean "You look smart (in those fitting)!" right and appropriate?
A little bird told me that "Dashing" is dated and the use of it should be banished in his opinion.
Should I use it sparingly, native speakers?
Thanks.

Hi, Your little bird is right. If you say it, it will sound like you are trying to be mildly humorous. Clive

Hi,
I suppose that's a problem with every language.
How would I learn real everyday vocabulary in your language?
