cute potential

a trait used to describe a person who, initially, didn't seem so appealing, but who, over time, comes to be extremely attractive because one gets to know him/her better.

At first, I didn't like Bob. But, he's got a lot of cute potential and now, I can't stop thinking about him.

pretentious

Behaving in an attention-seeking manner via presenting oneself on the surface as being intelligent, provocative, important, avant-garde, humorous or significant, yet harboring ulterior motives, typically involving some form of personal gratification or material gain (e.g. advancement in social status, career, wealth, etc.).

Note that using this word is often conflated to be a pretentious act in and of itself, as this word is frequently used as a way to easily discredit people, works of art, ideas or statements while simultaneously boosting one's own status.

"I used to think they were a smart, edgy, fun group of people to hang out with... but as soon as they realized I didn't have anything to offer them in terms of getting more publicity or a book deal or an art gallery gig, they stopped talking to me. I don't even know why I try to be their friend anymore! Pretentious twits."

Dude #1: "Do you even know what that word means?"

friends with potential

Friends in which have 'benefits,' but also have potential of some day being together as boyfriend/girlfriend. These friends do stuff together, but for more than just fun. They actually have feelings for eachother, and usually want a relationship eventually; however, they often cannot yet due to a 'sticky situation.'

Poop: Hey, what is with those two? Are they dating?

Jam: No.. I think they're just friends with potential, so not yet.
