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.

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.

perceived potential

Something anticipated or hoped for without any solid proof or promise.

You hire someone based on their perceived potential, only later you get a solid proof of their capabilities or promise.

When you pursue a girl, you want to date her based on perceived potential of her in your life. Only later you find out who she really is and if it's a good fit or not.

Before you move to a new location (city, area, country), the city has certain perceived potential in your mind. Only after living there for a while, you validate your hopes or assumptions.
