doesn't say it back, does that mean she isn't attracted to you?

I have no idea how to tell if a girl is attracted or not

It could mean lots of different things. In what context did you say it?

Well we were talking about what we do for fun and stuff, and then talked a bit about a random subject. then at the end i said "i have to admit, damn youre cute"

simple enough

That's not a good test. Giving someone a compliment doesn't mean they're going to reciprocate. Plus, if a girl does say you're cute, you're still miles away from locking it down, it doesn't mean much of anything to most women, which is why us ugly guys still get play. Want to know if she likes you? Put your balls out there and put your arm around her. It worked for your grandpa in the movie theater, it'll work for you. Either she'll stiffen up and not do anything, or she'll melt into you a little. Super obvious and honest reactions.

But you know what? I find it's better to always assume a girl is attracted to you. If she locks eyes with you, if she shyly keeps looking away. If she talks alot, if she totally clams up. Assume every sign is proof that she likes you, up until she doesn't kiss you back, that's when I assume she's not attracted and cut her loose. Don't focus on what she thinks about you, concentrate on what you like about her and play with it.

I think it's bad form to put any compliments like that out there before you actually kiss a girl. This is because they can be met with the silence that your compliment was met with.

Compliments are good because its fairly direct and shows your interest. You should be original though. All girls hear they're cute, pretty, beautiful over the course of the day and roll their eyes after hearing it so damn much. Cute has bad connotations because it's not as good as beautiful, too. If you're gonna give a compliment, it should be something that gets her attention and validates her to YOU. It's tricky, but if you're not going to be original, you're better off SHOWING her you're attracted to her.

Disagree with most of the replies... last weekend met a chick from mutual friend, we were all drinking, majority of the time I was chirping her and calling her out, I iso'd and told her that I think her friend is into me but I liked her, made out about 3 seconds after I said that then f-closed. Nothing wrong with telling a girl she is cute or complimenting just dont over do it, make her feel like she has to work for you... I made it seem like I was uninterested and unavailable and then I came out and told her what I thought...

You need to develop that shit over time man.

IOIs are a decent "starting wheels" to realise if a girl is attracted or not. Eventually you just get a sixth sense for it (i'm not shitting you).

Don't expect her to verbalise stuff - different girls have different styles. Some girls will say they fancy the pants off you in 2 minutes, others won't say it ever even if you're bending them over their bed.

first off all I totally agree with that!!

and about the "cute" part, it's totally cool to say that to a girl but only as a "reward".. you talked for a while, she said something nice that really made you thin k she is cute so you said it. Don't say it like something you say to all the girls right from the start, just after you evaluated her.

If a girl tells me I am cute then I know I am not going to score!

If a girl really likes you, then she will probably be to shy to say something like that. Also to be honest, that kind of compliment is kinda bad cause you are putting it all out there and putting pressure on her instead of letting things develop gradually. You can't break the rules dude. Imo, girls prefer the whole courting and uncertainty game even if it only takes a few hours. She needs to feel confused, 'does he like me' etc. Putting it out like that takes some of the fun away. Not saying you can't score, but it's not really good flirting.

Compliments are good for after you've hooked up.
