This adjective only has one syllable so you just say cuter... the general rule is that if an adjective as only one syllable, you just need to add 'er' or 'r' in this case since the word cute ends in 'e'.
Because cute is a monosyllabic adjective, we say 'cuter' is the comparative form of the adjective 'cute'.

Cuter as it has one syllable!
Cuter is the correct answer.
Cuter. When the word you want to use in degrees of comparison ends in a vowel such as "e" in "cute" the comparative form of the original word almost always ends in an "r" So the comparative form would be "cuter" Hope this answer helps.

Cute is adjective, cuter is comparative and the cutest is superlative.
Cuter, or as i would say gorgeous or adorable

The answer is cuter.
The adjective cuter is correct and it’s used when comparing two objects e.g Who’s cuter outta chad Michael Murray and Orlando bloom . Also, we can use cutest when comparing between three or more things ,for example;She is the dearest ,cutest little thing now and so loving.

cuter is its comparative form but sometimes even native speakers do tend to wonder and if the comparative form sounds weird , the more natural form is used regardless of it being grammatically wrong. As Stephen Fry famously said in his video on grammar :)

- Do you often find yourself splitting hairs over life matters?
Who is familiar with the idioms "splitting hairs" ? Splitting hairs = to discuss, argue, hang out in the trivial details of something. Imagine if you guys decide to split a strand of hair into small pieces... How relevant would that be? Not at all right? So whenever we discuss about trivial, unimportant matters, we are splitting hairs (over something)
Best answer
Often, it's used in an argument. When one person keeps insisting on a trivial detail above the main argument. It can be a response to frustration.

My student is used to saying (I have ants in my pants) each time I ask her present something, she is a good presenter, always delivers the goods but never appreciates herself.
- Beloved students, how comfortable do you feel with small talk in English?
Coffee talk, small talk, chit chat... Whatever we call it, trivial conversation plays a key role in communication. How comfortable are you guys with this particular type of conversation?

I see no problem in that. It can be useful especially you're networking and you wanna break the ice.
