If a guy recently called you cutie, this post will show you likely reasons why and what would make each of them more likely.

So, what does it mean when a guy calls you cutie? A guy calling you cutie might mean that he is attracted to you especially if he doesn’t call other girls cutie and if he shows other signs of attraction around you. He might also say it naturally, be being condescending, trying to make you happy or trying to show that he cares about you.

There are a number of possible reasons why a guy will call you cutie and it could be due to a combination of them. However, there are some things you can consider to help figure out the main reason.

What does it mean when a guy calls you cutie?

Below are a number of possible reasons why a guy might call you cutie and what would make each of them more likely.

He likes you

If he only calls you cutie and he changes his body language when he is around you then it would be likely that he is attracted to you.

If he is attracted to you, he would probably show a number of other signs of being attracted to you in his body language which could include:

• Mirroring your body language
• Asking you lots of questions when in a group
• Keeping his focus on you when there are multiple people talking
• Standing close to you when talking to you
• Holding prolonged eye contact with you
• Talking to you with a deeper voice than he does to other people
• Having dilated pupils when talking to you
• Asking your friends about you
• Making plans based on yours
• Pointing his feet in your direction when you’re around
• Adjusting his hair or clothes when he sees you
• Sitting upright when he sees you
• Uncrossing his arms and legs when he sees you
• Staring at you then quickly looking away when you notice

He says it to every woman

Some men will call every woman cutie.

If he says it to other women as well and he shows the same body language around you as he does around them, it would be likely that he naturally says it when talking to women.

He wants to be more than just friends

If he has been your friend for a while, it could be the case that he wants to be more than just friends with you.

If that is why he called you cutie, it would be likely that he would show signs of being attracted to you in his behavior and body language that you haven’t picked up on.

It would be especially likely that he would become agitated when you’re with other men, that he would get defensive if you’re both with other men and that he would make plans based on yours.

He was being condescending

The reason why he called you cutie could be that he was being condescending.

If he was, it would be likely that he would have called you cutie in a sarcastic way and that he would have said it when you were making a suggestion.

If he did call you cutie because he was being condescending, it would be likely that he would show negative signs in his body language such as:

• Having tight lips when you talk
• Smirking when you’re talking
• Not taking you seriously
• Tilting his chin up and looking down at you
• Crossing his arms when you’re talking

He loves you

The reason why he called you cutie could be that he loves you.

If that is why he called you cutie, it would be likely that he is your boyfriend. It would also be likely that he would show a number of the signs of attraction around you mentioned above.

He was trying to make you happy

The reason why he called you cutie might be that he was trying to make you feel better.

If that is why he called you cutie, it would be likely that you would have been talking to him about something that made you feel sad at the time. You might also have been showing signs of being sad like watery eyes, inhaling through the nose quickly and taking deep breaths.

It still might be the case that he said it for a different reason so you should consider the body language that he was showing and if he says it at other times as well.

He wanted to see your reaction

The reason that he called you cutie could be that he wanted to see how you would react.

The reason why he wanted to see your reaction could be that he is attracted to you and he wanted to see if you would react positively. If he is then it would be likely that he would show signs of attraction when he is with you.

Consider how he reacts when he sees you

It would help to consider how he reacts when he first sees you.

If he reacts by sitting up straight, mirroring your own body language, holding prolonged eye contact, uncrossing his arms, adjusting his hair or clothing, his pupils dilate, he raises his eyebrows and smiles and he makes room for you then it would be a positive sign and could mean that he’s attracted to you.

Whereas, if he reacts by crossing his arms, squinting, tightening his lips, clenching his jaw, avoiding eye contact with you and by pointing his feet away from you, it would be a more negative sign.

Think about how he interacts with other people

It would also be helpful to compare the way that he interacts with you with the way that he interacts with other people.

If he seems to call other women cutie a lot and he shows the same body language around them as he does around you, it would be likely that he naturally says it when talking to women.

Whereas, if he only says it to you and he changes his body language around you, it would be more likely that he called you cutie because he likes you or because he was being condescending. It would be necessary to consider if he was showing positive or negative body language to figure out the exact reason.

Think about multiple aspects of his body language

When trying to make sense of what his body language was suggesting it would be helpful to consider multiple aspects of his body language.

The reason for that is that a single body language signal can have many different meanings. Whereas, if he shows multiple body language signals that can all have the same meaning then it would be more likely that he is showing them for that reason.

Consider when and where he said it

The timing and location of when he called you cutie might have an impact on why he said it.

If he called you cutie when you were both alone together, it would be more likely that he said it because he is attracted to you and you should consider if he was showing signs of attraction in his body language.

Whereas, if he said it in front of other people, it would be more likely that he either said it because he says it naturally or because he was being condescending.

Consider your relationship with him

The type of relationship that you have with him would also likely have an impact on why he called you cutie.

If he is your friend, it would be more likely that he either said it because he wants to be more than just friends or because he naturally says it. It would be helpful to consider if he says it to other women as well.

If he was a guy that you don’t know very well, it would be more likely that he was either being condescending or that he naturally says it to women.
