Why do girls say it’s cute when a guy gets nervous around them, but guys never say it’s cute when a girl gets nervous around them?

Does it something have to do with guys being expected to be confident when they talk to girls, so when they are nervous it “breaks” that “rule”?

In the context you've provided, cute is just a word used to describe a guy who acts all mushy-gushy in front of a girl he likes or is attracted to. It's the equivalent of a guy calling a girl pretty. Generally speaking guys are more attracted to a girls physical features such as looks, while girls are more inclined towards aspects of a guys personality and other attributes that come naturally to him (confidence, street smarts etc.).

Because girls are more afraid of rejection than guys are. That's why when they're nervous, they act more distant, while nervous guys become overly sweet which is cute.

But some guys get distant too.
