“May I” is more polite than “can I”
“Can I ? you use for asking permission or for if it is literally possible for you.
“May I ? you only use when you are asking for permission
“Pretty” has exclusively to do with one’s appearance. “Cute” refers to babies or bunnies
And people may also say this to girls and Guys from an older age like 10 - 30
