What does it mean if she says you're kinda cute?

There's this girl I know, I've known her for years but we've only started talking a lot at the beginning of summer, she recently got a boyfriend, but when I indirectly asked her if I was hot she said I'm not hot but I'm kinda cute. I don't know if she doesn't want to call me hot because of her boyfriend, what does this all mean?
