Sweet, Cute, Adorable!

I recently had a conversation with my boyfriend. He makes comments or says something hilarious and I'll often tell him he's so cute or adorable and then there's the times he makes the sweetest comments and so naturally I'll tell him he's sweet. So in this conversation one night he told me I have GOT to find a better word to use. I asked him what in the world he wanted me to do, walk around with a Thesaurus?? He said no, You have girl friends, ask them! So ladies... what do you call a guy instead of cute, adorable, or sweet?

I did look up an online Thesaurus and check synonyms for the words and here are my results:
Cute/Adorable:
ambrosial, appealing, attractive, captivating, charming, cute, darling, dear, delectable, delicious, delightful, dishy, dreamy, fetching, heavenly, hot, luscious, pleasing, precious, sexy, suave
Sweet:
affectionate, agreeable, amiable, angelic, appealing, attractive, beautiful, beloved, charming, cherished, companionable, considerate, darling, dear, dearest, delectable, delicious, delightful, dulcet, engaging, fair, generous, gentle, good-humored, good-natured, heavenly, lovable, loving, luscious, mild, mushy, patient, pet, pleasant, pleasing, precious, reasonable, saccharine, sweet-tempered, sympathetic, taking, tender, thoughtful, treasured, unselfish, winning, winsome

I have officially printed them out on a little piece of paper and plan to keep them in my wallet and when I feel the need to tell Nathan he's cute, I will pull out my paper and pick one of these lovely synonyms and throw that at him instead :-) HEHE. My personal favorite is delectable LOL!

Tell him he's fetch. If Gretchen from Mean Girls can try to make that word work, you can too!
