But what does it mean for one to say to another "you are not ugly" then afterwards they wont tell you if they think your pretty or cute or whatever. They instead just leave it at that.

It would depend on if you've asked them a straight question about their opinion of your looks. It could just mean that they were being polite or else they don't think they need to keep saying it because they already have.
Why do you need to have this reinforced? The old saying of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is very true. Find the beauty in yourself (and others) and your true beauty will shine through.

It means what it means. Simply put, "you are not ugly." Would you you tell someone "You are not fat," and afterwards say you are "so thin" or "But you could stand to lose a few pounds?"
Sometimes elaboration on a general statement of an observation is not required.

Not a silly question at all. I think it means they are afraid that being TOO complimentary will either give you a big head, or look like they are "sucking up". It may also mean they are so jealous of you, that they need to give you an "UN-compliment" - one that does not lie, but does not make you feel good, either.

I think it means that they dont think your hot but they dont want to be mean so they tell you u are not ugly. i do it, i mean what am i suppose to do tell u are beautiful when u are not, but then again is not easy to tell someone u think they are not attractive so its easier to just say na u are not ugly, and just leave it at that.

if i'm right to assume that it's a teenage guy your talking about??
Then it means that they don't think that you are ugly, ..... & well duh they actually like you. guys no matter what the age... do not communicate like females . they say as few words as possible. & then with something like being nervous about liking someone they don't say anything at all. they assume you are just supposed to know, and it will just happen without talking about it.
Did that make sense???

it means you are not beautiful nor ugly. your in the mid zone meaning a little pretty at the same time a little ugly...but there is always room for improvement.

it means find another one to spend your time with- if your not hearing the words your beautiful, then move on- because a person in love will always view you as the most beautiful thing- no matter what

It means that you ARE ugly, but dont want to tell you because they might hurt your feelings.

It means don't spend another minute with that person. Their opinion doesn't matter anyway. It means they're insecure about their appearance or are overly inflated about their appearance and can't risk you outshining them.
