i think, in general, it's got a lot to do with attitude & how one comes across to others. seems like if you're overtly physical/sexual, you get "hot"; if you're more of a fun personality, you get "cute", "adorable".

Your Love is Green
When you love someone, it's a very rational process. You love with your head first.
Love is all about fitting a person into your life. You can't love unless the situation is just right.
You are an ideal partner in romantic relationships. You try to be as caring, loyal, and forgiving as possible.
You take love seriously, and you don't give up on a commitment. You don't need a ring to stay with someone through thick and thin.

oh, i have plenty of time for crushes, because they're always secret and never go anywhere. sometimes, it's better to have even false hope, than to have none.
