If someone on this site called me cute, I would just take it as a compliment and think he's flirting with me and if I liked his profile I might even flirt back. On the other hand, "hey cutie" just sounds a bit sleazy before you get to know me. Not my style.
But ailurophile, what's wrong with just being sincere? There's no one size fits all compliment, and being yourself is your best chance. You want someone to like you the way you are, don't you? And she will like that you said something that shows you actually paid attention to her profile/picture/whatever.
