I don't understand the OP's issue with the "very pretty".
"Very pretty" is a respectful compliment; someone who wants to provide a compliment without implying greater interest
"Wow, you look hot" is much more of a sexual connotation
"You're beautiful" or "you're gorgeous" is much more intimate and for people who know you very well; or for someone is simply extraordinarily attractive
I just think she has incredible bone structure and when she's all decked out is truly stunning. I would classify her everyday look as exotic and sexy, but not stunning
I feel sorry for the OP because her complaint about the guy she "adores" seems just downright petty.
I'm with the men on this one, what's a guy supposed to do when women like our OP can make it so hard just to be nice??
There! Someone has finally said it. The OP needs to read this post over and over until her eye sight dims...
Alrighty. Thanks for the feedback, although some of you missed the mark with what the actual question was, and that it was not a complaint that someone finds me pretty but more of a question of whether the words can indicate a level of attraction. Thanks for the responses.
I once met a guy who had a really difficult time saying romantic things, and because of that he had been divorced at least once.
Like, instead of saying something incredibly romantic about how the moonlight hits her eyes, he'd instead mess up and say "You look good in the dark!" and it would be a complete turn off to her.
It was hilarious, but he couldn't solve the equation.

Yeah he shouldn't even try if he messes up this bad. Some have lots of lines but nothing else to offer.

I would never assume my beloved husband was not "into to me" simply because he has never called me "stunning"
He, in fact, is VERY "into me" - I am the love of his life.
AND
I am, in fact, pretty stunning
People here were not trying to give you a hard time so much as just trying to get you to stop making assumptions and consider yourself fortunate that the man you "adore" thinks you are very pretty - that's actually a good thing, not a bad thing
Is the OP expecting us to feel sorry for her? I wish I had her 'problem'. I have never been called very pretty, much less beautiful, stunning or gorgeous. A few mentions of 'attractive', 'striking', 'cute' or usually just 'you have a great personality' is the best I get.

Hate being called "very pretty" by a man I adore
