Being called cute can be exciting, but coming up with a witty response can be challenging. When someone calls you cute, they are complimenting your appearance or behavior. Though the intention is likely positive, being objectified as ā€œcuteā€ can feel minimizing. The ideal reaction is playful, while still maintaining boundaries.

Editorā€™s Choice – Top 5 Comeback Faves

Youā€™ve seen over 50 witty, funny, flirty, and savage responses to try when someone calls you cute. Now itā€™s time to reveal our editorā€™s personal favorites!

After combing through dozens of cute comebacks, here are the 5 our editor thinks are absolute fire. Keep these ones locked and loaded for the next ā€œcuteā€ comment!

1. Well I sure hope so, ’cause I spent 2 hours getting ready!

Why this is perfect: Playfully calls out the casually-thrown ā€œcuteā€ comment by hinting at the time, effort, and intention that actually went into your appearance. Gently challenges the assumption that you just rolled out of bed looking cute.

When to use:

  • When you want a funny yet subtly bold response
  • If someone compliments your outfit or appearance specifically

When NOT to use:

  • If you didnā€™t actually spend much/any time getting ready
  • For behavior-based compliments like a cute laugh

2. Giggles Why yes, yes I am cute

Why this is perfect: Confident, playful, and unapologetic – owning your cuteness with a giggle and a hair flip playfully leans into the ā€œcuteā€ comment rather than push against it.

When to use:

  • When you want a response thatā€™s cocky yet cute
  • If you are proud of your appearance that day

When NOT to use:

  • If you dislike being called ā€œcuteā€ and prefer more mature compliments

3. Well I certainly try my hardest eyelash flutter

Why this is perfect: Like the first comeback, this playfully hints that your appearance didnā€™t just magically happen while subtly batting your eyelashes. Shows effort without directly calling out the comment.

When to use:

  • When someone compliments your hair, makeup, outfit etc
  • If you want a flirty yet slightly sassy response

When NOT to use:

  • If it’s meant as a behavior or personality-based compliment
  • In professional settings

4. Cute? Is that the best youā€™ve got? I was going for gorgeous.

Why this is perfect: Flips the script to subtly call out the potentially minimizing comment while boldly stating you consider yourself gorgeous, not just ā€œcuteā€.

When to use:

  • If being called cute feels minimizing
  • When you want to reclaim your confidence

When NOT to use:

  • If it was meant sincerely as a heartfelt compliment
  • From someone you want to encourage

5. Well arenā€™t you sweet! I like sweetā€¦

Why this is perfect: Returns the compliment playfully while hinting at reciprocal romantic interest. Creates intrigue and leaves them wanting more!

When to use this:

  • When said flirtatiously by someone you are interested in
  • To gently gauge their interest

When NOT to use:

  • From family members or friends
  • In professional settings

How to Respond When a Girl Calls You Cute

  • If she seems interested in you romantically, try a flirty response like ā€œAw thanks gorgeous!ā€ or ā€œWhy thank you cutie!ā€
  • If itā€™s just friendly, go for something like ā€œAww youā€™re the sweetest!ā€ or ā€œTakes one to know one!ā€
  • To joke around, use silly comebacks like ā€œYep we cute gals gotta stick together!ā€ or ā€œOf course Iā€™m cute, but not as cute as my puppy!ā€

The key is to return the compliment whenever possible so she feels equally cute and confident.

How to Respond When a Guy Calls You Cute

  • Try bold responses like ā€œJust cute? Not hot?ā€ or ā€œSoā€¦am I girlfriend cute or little sister cute?ā€ to suggestively question the intent
  • Go for funny replies like ā€œYep, cute as a button! boops your noseā€ or ā€œWow, nothing gets past you huh!ā€ to tease him
  • Flirty responses like ā€œWell arenā€™t you sweet talking!ā€ and ā€œWhy thank you kind sir!ā€ work if you’re interested

Tone down aggressive call outs if itā€™s sincere and you want to gently encourage him rather than shutting it down entirely.
