He calls me beautiful. He calls me pretty. I’ve noticed that guys are really creative when it comes to compliments and different names to call girls.
Usually, these adjectives are straightforward, but there’s still one unresolved mystery: What does it mean when a guy calls you cute?
If a guy calls you beautiful or pretty, it usually indicates that he’s attracted to you and he really likes you. But, what does it mean when he calls you cute?
Whenever a guy calls me cute, I can’t help but think the following: Does he really like me or is he just thinking that I’m cute because of my curly hair and glasses? I’m sure he calls every girl cute. Hmm…
It took me a while to realize that guys don’t call every girl cute because calling you that has a special meaning to them.

When a guy calls you cute, you should feel flattered because it is one of the most beautiful compliments to a girl, and it has a deeper meaning! Next time a guy calls you cute, here’s what it means!
Note: If you’re not sure whether this guy likes you in a romantic way or if he just sees you as a friend, then below, you’ll also find body language signs he secretly likes you more than a friend!
What Does It Mean When A Guy Calls You Cute? 15 Hidden Meanings
You are different from other girls.
Words have different meanings to different people, but one thing is for sure: If a guy calls you hot, chances are he sees you only as a one-night stand.
Being a hot girl has more cons than pros, and it only refers to physical appearance. Also, being hot requires lots of money and time, and that’s why men don’t really like these types of women.
If he calls you cute, it means you’re different from other girls! You don’t seem to bother with heavy makeup and other girly things.
You feel confident in your own skin, you are genuine, and you don’t care what others will think of you. That’s what makes you truly unique and different from others.
You are warm-hearted.
If there’s one thing men really hate, it is girls who are spoiled. So, if a guy calls you cute, it means you’re the complete opposite.
You are charming, warm-hearted, and good-natured. Cute girls are always happy, and they find joy in little things.

You’re a lot of fun to be with.
When I wasn’t sure about the real meaning behind a guy calling me cute, I would constantly ask myself the following: What does it mean when a guy calls you cute? Is it a bad thing?
Now, I know for sure that it’s not a bad thing at all! On the contrary, it’s the BEST thing out there. And, do you know why?
Because the reason why a guy uses the word cute is to describe a girl who is great company.
Knowing that you’re the type of girl he enjoys spending time with makes you feel really special. When a guy calls you cute, know that you’re the type of girl he’ll never want to break up with.

You probably have some unusual hobbies that make you even more special in his eyes.

He’s trying to win your approval.
We often forget the fact that guys can be insecure as well. They can be really anxious about making the first move and letting you know that they like you.
When a guy calls you cute, it might be his way of telling you that he’d like to get to know you better. He’s not sure if you like him back, so by calling you cute, he is hoping that he’ll succeed in winning your approval.
When dating a shy guy or an insecure guy, keep in mind that they will need more time to tell you how they feel about you. Be patient and subtly let them know that you like them back (of course, if you truly do).

That’s just how they’re wired, and if you pay attention to all those signs, you’ll always be one step ahead, girl.
He thinks you’re a kid at heart.

If a guy notices that you’re still a kid at heart, he’ll make sure to let you know that.
There’s nothing more pure and innocent than being a kid at heart. If you are one, then you’re one of the few grown-ups who still have that spark in you, and you know how to find joy in little things.

The truth is that guys don’t want to cuddle with just anyone. They always prefer cute girls for that activity and that is why he calls you that!

Do you know that feeling when you see an adorable plush toy or a cat? I don’t know about you, but I go crazy every single time.

It will probably sound weird what I’m about to say next, but he probably feels the same way about you.
When he sees you, he can’t help but want to hold you in his hands and do all those sweet things with you.
He adores your natural beauty.
Even though the media is constantly bombarding us with new upgraded versions of “makeup arsenal” and presenting it as something you must have if you want to look pretty, the truth is completely different.
Girls who haven’t fallen for these tricks and who know how to celebrate their natural beauty are seen as Goddesses in every guy’s eyes.
The guy I’m currently in a “texting relationship” with and whom I adore so much (I seriously hope he won’t ever read this) once said to me: Whenever I see a girl without makeup, I instantly feel the urge to kneel in front of her as a sign of my appreciation for her celebration of natural beauty. That’s exactly what attracted me to you the moment I saw you.
If this sounds familiar to you, and if you’re a fan of natural beauty and minimum makeup, then that’s a valid reason why he calls you cute.
Sooner than you know, he will be Googling cute ways to ask a girl out. Guess twice whom he will be asking out (smiley face)!
