Hi felixm,
When a guy frequently calls you “cute”, especially in moments when you’re being playful or enthusiastic, it’s often a sign that he finds those qualities endearing and attractive. While “cute” alone doesn’t necessarily mean he wants to date you, it suggests he probably has some level of romantic interest, especially if he singles you out for compliments.
I’d say his use of “cute” is likely a little more than just friendly, though it’s not an absolute declaration of crush status either. Seeing how he interacts with you compared to other girls can provide more clues. But if you’re interested in him too, his “cute” comments may signal a great opportunity to flirt back a bit and see if things progress! Wishing you all the best as you figure out where you stand with him.
If you want to monitor how he interacts with other girls, mSpy is an great tool for monitoring phones/texts.
