What does lovely mean?

[sammyangel9991]

What does lovely mean as compared to sexy/cute/hot/beautiful? I was at barnes and noble today and a guy came up to me and said "You are very lovely". This happened to me twice this past year. Isn't it like the same thing as beautiful? I don't know I'm just curious. I mean I think I know what it means but I just want to see what other people say.

And just a note for guys, you should do this to girls you find attractive. Tell them that they are beautiful/ lovely. It's really flattering and it seriously makes our day.

The word "lovely" is used to describe someone who is pleasant or attractive.

When it comes to describing someone's physical appearance, there are a lot of different words that can be used. Sexy, cute, hot, and beautiful are all common words that come to mind. But what exactly does lovely mean?

In general, the word lovely is used to describe something that is pleasant or attractive. When applied to a person, it usually means that they are pleasant to look at. Lovely can also be used to describe someone's personality. A lovely person is typically someone who is kind, caring, and considerate.

So, what sets lovely apart from the other words used to describe someone's appearance? Well, lovely is often seen as being more gentle and delicate. It's not as aggressive as words like sexy or hot. And it's not as casual as cute or beautiful. Lovely has a certain sophistication to it.

If you're ever unsure whether or not to use the word lovely to describe someone, go with your gut. If you think they would appreciate being called lovely, then go for it!

My British family says "lovely" a lot, but it usually means that you're overall a very nice/sweet, pleasant, happy person. Also polite, considerate. It doesn't neccisarily(sp?) mean your looks, but it includes it.

(sorry if that was a bit confusing)

Mhm I get what you mean, but I didn't know him he just approached me and told me I was lovely

[FreckledFish]

Oh well, it's a really good sign :) keep it up!

If pretty and beautiful were colors and you mix them together, you would get lovely. It's a great compliment.

In my opinion:

lovely -> charming (independent identity)

sexy --> exude a sexual aura, possibly with the help of figure-excentuating clothes/accessories

cute --> apparently innocent

hot --> sexually attractive

beautiful --> your entire physical look seems consistent with a single expression (e.g. your personality)

If anyone calls you any of those words, good for you. But I think beautiful is better than the other three cause it relates to more than just the physical.

[Summeroflove]

Yeah basically. I can’t really read someone’s mind to know what they’re thinking. Bur yeah the same thing

[Guy13]

Overall lovely means you look good all the way around bordering on exquisite which is the naked version of "lovely".

It means that he has a larger vocabulary than most guys.

But that's no surprise, if he was hanging out in a bookstore :)

[sammyangel9991]
