Gratitude and appreciation are fine. But when you start considering him 'cute' or 'adorable' in that 'Oh my gosh, look at that lil' guy go' way, you've started seeing him as less capable.
I see so many women do the 'That's so sweet' response to things that are clearly token gestures that haven't been thought through. 'Omg, he bought me chocolate! I mean, I'm diabetic and need to watch my blood sugar, but isn't that so sweet?'
No, it's not sweet. Don't let 'it's the thought that counts' blind you to when he is being thoughtless. A bungled gesture is still a bungle.
Once in a blue moon is fine, but if every 'romantic' gesture is a case of 'but it was so sweet of him to even try,' ditch the relationship.
