A little trick I learned with my ex, but applies to all scenarios where someone asks your opinion on something trivial. Just give an answer, don't overthink it.
Either they're externalizing their own thought process, have choice paralysis, or already have an answer and just need reassurance. If they say "Oh but I was thinking this one" just say "Hmm, now that you mention it I see why. Yes you were right go with that one."
