Guys, Is cute a good compliment from a guy?

A few of my friends don't like the word cute because they think it means friend zoning. I personally love it as a compliment and it's something my crush calls me all the time. So, what do you guys mean when you say cute Vs sexy Vs hot Vs pretty etc. ? Thank you

He called me cute again today. He's said it at least 20 times now. I asked you really think I'm cute? And he said 'lol you're silly'.
