Someone I've had a lot of phone/online communication with is about to become a dad, so I pulled a gift basket together. Nothing major, but I'm good at that sort of thing. I wanted to get it to him before Father's Day, but our group's split between four different locations and I'm not scheduled to trek out there till July, after the baby's due date. Anyway, I ask this guy at my location if he can drop it off since he'll be up there soon. He agrees -- he always agrees when I ask him a favor. Since I figured he would, I got him a very small thank you gift also, wrapped it nicely, etc. Again, nothing major, but something I knew he'd like and use over the summer. He stares at it, smiles brightly enough to light up the room, then looks down, shuffling his feet like a little kid. "You didn't have to do that." he says, then takes a long time to take it from my hand, touching my hand in the process. He smiles again, more shyly this time, and says, "Aww, that's so sweet! Thank you." then carries it around with him up and down the hall while chatting it up with me in a really animated way, which is unusual since he's usually more quiet/reserved. What just happened? That touch was...incredible, but what might he mean by "sweet"? (I thought "sweet" was reserved for something a child does, but it doesn't seem to fit the context here.)
--------------------
He thought your "thank you gift" was very unexpected and thoughtful of you. Sweet isn't only reserved for young children, and when a man says that to a woman, especially acting the way you say he did, it usually indicates that there is an attraction towards you. He just seems to be shy about it. Do you like him more than a friend? Are you attracted to him at all? He seems cute, but thats ultimately up for your to decide. You gave me great advice when I needed it, so I can only assume that you have a level head and a good sense of self. All in all, its a nice word to use when anyone makes a nice gesture, and it is pretty benign.
