When a guy calls you cute, meaning?

Question

What does it mean when a guy calls you cute? I've heard some people say that cute means that you aren't pretty or something :( ...guys what does this mean when you say "cute"? Do you mean she is pretty or something or uglier?

Several times before he has called me "cute". He has called me cute after seeing some of my pictures, or I will tell him about my cooking fails and he tells me that i am the cutest thing...

We are pretty good friends, maybe will trade flirtatious comments every now and then, but we are pretty chill. But whenever he calls me cute it sorta throws me off. Is calling someone 'cute' a friend zone? Or does it mean he thinks Im attractive? Or do I have it all wrong?

I never really thought of myself as a cute human being... I am 5 ft 8 and he is 6ft 3 (I only say this because when I think of a cute girl, I picture her short) and I have a curvy/athletic build.

I am probably overthinking, but what does this mean?

heyy! take this from a guy; majority of (let say 85%) of guys compliment girls with cute when she look good and most of them meant it when ever they said it it... so the mst important thing is that, take analysis of what mst people said if the cute are more than the others, then take it as a gift and appreciate it is the truth.

sometimes we (Guys) says things that we weren't but the only to know the truth is through our face though some guys are good in hidden their facial expiration... for what it worth, just choose the what please you what ever the hidden meaning is let it with them. because somebody's food is another man poison.

take care :)

For me, it's when I want to complement her but don't want to seem over the top. I feel if a girl asks me how she looks and I reply with: "Your so mind-numbingly beautiful!" or something along those lines, it's a little to much. So I just stick with the safe: "your cute".

But maybe that's just me

If a guy calls you cute, he thinks you are cute. He didn;t have to say it so if he didn't mean it he wouldn't have. IMO, if a guy calls you cute, he is interested in you. Otherwise, he wouldn't throw it out there and get you thinking. Guys don't use words like "cute" on a regular basis.

If he were talking to a friend and mentioned you were cute, I still say it is a plus.

Regardless, cute=attractive. It might mean, she's cute, I like her, I'm into her. or it might mean, she's cute but she's not really my type.

maybe it has something to do with respecting the girl as well as looks. I notice on my daughters Facebook that the "good" girls get called really cute or pretty and others who have cleavage shots are called "hot" it's like the old adage of the girl you'd take home to meet the family and take out to dinner vs the one you wanna grind on at the party this weekend.

just an observation I could be totally wrong lol

I often get called cute if they thought you were ugly they wouldn't think of you been cute if you see a cat or dog and you think it's ugly you wouldn't think it was cute same with a person.

I was thinking of telling a girl I like she's cute the next time I talk to her. I really like her, a lot. Her girlfriends also comment on Facebook and instagram she's cute and I really think she's cute. There's just something about her, shyness, politeness, girly. I just want to cuddle her.

I think a guy will tell a girl she's cute when he's not entirely sure if he's in love with her or he's pretty sure she's going to reject him (or afraid she will), so he says she's cute to see her reaction. I'm pretty sure the guy is at least somewhat interested at that point.

there's a couple of types of women 1. The hot chick who can never be cute 2. The cute chick who can never be hot 3. The fat chick with the cute face 4. The ugly fat chick the fuck em n chuck em porker no guy will ever admit to banging when going through a dry spell. Usually theyre slutty or bitchy or a combination of both 5. The ugly skinny chick aka the homeless crackhead chick who desperate guys give 20 bucks to for a quick blow in a restroom stall. To give you an example of a cute chick who can never be hot google search kay adams of good morning football. To give you an example of a hot chick google my beloved demi lovato or jessica simpdon before she got pregnant aka dukes of hazzard movie. To give you an example of a fat nasty ugly chick google roseanne barr or rosie odonnell. By now you get the idea.

He's making a mental note of the fact that he finds you attractive and letting you know he finds you attractive, but by saying your cute is only really letting you and him know he finds you attractive, and that if anyone knew he had called you cute, it wouldn't mean to them your into that person, you just mean they are cute? probably don't make sense to you, but he's attracted to you, but only letting you know this basically,x

stepyo99 · Answer

Usually when I think of cute it means not just physically attractive, but also someone who has an endearing personality. There's something about that person beyond their looks that makes them adorable, warm, charming, pleasant, etc.

It's definitely a compliment. I wouldn't overthink it.

This guy friend of mine would say that all the time to me and I'm pretty sure he had feelings for me because he gave me some really obvious signs.

I say it likely means he likes you but look for other signs to make sure. If he tells all girls that it probably doesn't mean much

Longshot · Answer

You're overthinking. He thinks you are cute which means he finds you attractive which means he's interested. Actually, I prefer cute over the drop-dead-gorgeous types.

If a guy says you're cute, he thinks you're attractive... it's a safe way if saying that to you. Men are very visual, and they pay lots of attention to that. This is definitely a flirt and he likes you no doubt.

It means you're pretty in an innocent way. Stop overthinking

Dinosaursandanime65 · Answer

There is a whole Beaty spectrum, like the color wheel. Im still working on them. But cute is more of an innocent wholesome thing. A common adjective for someone (animals included) that must be preserved like a shard of Allspark. Speaking of common, why is common sense called that despite how uncommon it is?

I would say, beyond him putting his hand down your pants, these are pretty good signs he likes you, so if you like him, be sure to let him know, because he is trying to tell you something...

bDizzie · Answer

It means he's attracted to you.  Guys don't go around telling girls they are beautiful, she may think that's creepy or it's too much.  Cute is enough.

MartinMarsh · Answer

it means what it means. Cute. So at the very least it means attractive in some way. I sometimes use it interchangeably with hot since not al girls like being called hot. lol

yallxisxtrippin · Answer

Every guy is different, I can only tell you my pov. Honestly, if I were to call a girl cute, it would be depending on my relationship to you. It could be a way of trying to convey that I'm attracted to you without coming off as a creep. It could also mean I just think you look good or happy that day.

misuzi · Answer

It either means cute but sometimes it's a safe answer when you don't want to disappoint someone who is expecting a good answer on something, like how cute a baby is.

DeaconPope · Answer

It means different things to different people at my age anyone underage and I'm not talking legally underage I mean like below say 30, I would refer to as cute rather than beautiful sexy or any of those types of phrases.

wallaber · Answer

If they didn't find you attractive in some way, they wouldn't have said anything.

AzureGirl · Answer

It just means your cute. That's all. I get called cute a lot, but that's mainly because I look so young (I'm 18 but people think I'm around 16)
