Never mind that I've never heard of the character Adonis before; maybe it should have been Don Juan instead. Anyway, are you like him? Can you sweep a woman off her feet (or a man off his, I suppose)? Can you charm a lady with your rhetorical flourishes?
I sometimes say things women consider "sweet," but I don't intend to say them just for that effect. I usually try to be straightforward and say what I believe, and sometimes it just happens to be sweet. Of course, I'm equally likely to botch things by saying something off the mark, unaware that it is off the mark. It's all completely chance.
I often say things that girls think are "sweet", or that cause them to think I'm "such a good guy". However, I'm not sure whether to take those remarks as compliments anymore, because it seems that guys like me are the types that girls just want to be friends (if that) with. I also often will give the impression that I like someone without really meaning to (or specifically trying not to).
And it's interesting that this poll gives the "dismal at smalltalk" - I voted for that, but really, my problem is that I smalltalk way too much. I guess I can blame that on the "support" group I was in for a while.
