What does it mean when a guy says you're kinda cute?

[Anonymous]

A guy told me he thought I was kinda cute... Not sure how to take it as I percieve it to be more of an insult. Guys do you think I'm over reacting or was it a compliment?

Probably just giving you a casual compliment without much meaning or wanting you to think he's interested. You're not overreacting because I could see how it's someone insulting. You're probably beautiful, don't worry.

Meh I don’t love compliments like this. It is backhanded, subtly actually telling you you’re not cute. But it really does depend on how he said it
