What does "You Look Quite Pretty" mean?

[Anonymous]

Guys, do you ever describe girls as quite pretty? A guy has called me quite pretty before, and I just wondered what exactly did he mean by it. I mean I've never really heard a guy say that about a girl before...I usually hear a guy say a girl is hot...not 'quite pretty'.

basically the guy doesn't have enough guts to tell you all of the things he thinks about the way you look.. he thinks you're verry pretty but doesn't want to sound like an idiot

"Quite pretty" is basically an overly-polite/formal way of calling somebody "hot".

Well its a way of telling a friend that she looks good in a nice way.

im thinking this means, "pretty hot", not superfine, but hot enough
