Whats it mean when a guy calls you cute?

Anonymous
okay so why do guys use the word cute? Do they mean like a puppy, or what? I can't figure out if I'm suppose to take it as a compliment or is he just saying "you remind me of a little girl, you are so CUTE:)" Its driving me crazy? What is YOUR meaning behind calling a girl cute opposed to pretty or beautiful or hot. By the way I'm a little under 16.
