Being told that you look cute isn’t a surefire sign that a girl is hitting on you.

Be careful you don’t let your attraction for her cloud your judgment.

This is where you get too caught up in what you are hoping for.

You are already attracted to this girl and have been for some time.

As someone who is attracted to her, you are susceptible to reading too much into what she says.

There have been several moments in the past where you drew a hopeful conclusion that she said or did something that must have meant she likes you.

There were moments where she smiled at you for a little longer than the norm and you assumed she liked you.

She touched you briefly, and you internalized that she liked you.

She mentioned your name as she was talking to a mutual friend, and you surmised that she liked you.

In saying that you look cute, she has done something totally new, and this has your mind on a tangent.

Being that she has never called you cute before, you believe that this must be a gamechanger.

This is her taking more risks, wanting you to know that she is hitting on you.

For a while, you have been waiting for something special or out of the ordinary to happen, and now, you are making yourself believe that it finally has.

A girl who is hitting on you won’t leave it at saying you look cute.

Her eyes linger, looking you up and down.

Additionally, she closes the physical space between you.

She touches you as she is complimenting you.

Her body language is key in these moments.

What she does through her body language gives you the greatest clue as to whether she was hitting on you.

When she says you look cute but does so without much of a follow up with her body language, it’s much less likely that she was hitting on you.

This being said, she doesn’t have to be hitting on you to convey a message that she thinks you are attractive.

When she saw you, she was taken by surprise.

She wasn’t used to seeing you like that.

Basically, you did something with your appearance that grabbed her attention.

It was how you were dressed, did your hair, etc.

You opened her eyes with a realization that you are attractive.

The good news is that she was acknowledging that you are attractive in saying you look cute.

Until now, she has never thought of you as attractive.

Given the changes you made that caught her attention, she couldn’t help but compliment you.

Again, this doesn’t mean that she was hitting on you at the exact moment that she said you look cute.

She was a bit surprised or shell-shocked at the time, which would have made it harder for her to consciously hit on you.

But, you have captured her attention.

Meaning, as long as you keep looking the way you did henceforth, you have a shot at getting her to start looking at you with a much different mindset than she has had in the past.

A mindset that regards you as someone she would be open to dating.

This means you have to build on this moment by continuing to look as good as you did when she said you look cute.

Do this on a daily basis.

Going back to how you normally look will make this moment fade in history, which leads to her forgetting about it.

You don’t want that.
