When a woman calls a guy “adorable,” is that actually a compliment?

I've had a couple instances where I've been called that by females.

Yes, usually it is. 😄 “Adorable” generally means she finds you cute, charming, or endearing. It can be romantic, but it can also be completely platonic depending on the context and her tone.

If she says it with lingering eye contact, teasing, or seems especially interested in you, I’d take it as a stronger sign of attraction

Thanks. My guy friend actually acted offended on my behalf, he doesn't like that word I guess. Lol

Sure. It's a good thing.

Not really; it’s actually a backhanded compliment at best. Usually it’s dripping with sarcasm.
If it’s even remotely genuine, it’s still dismissive because that’s something you say to a child or a developmentally disabled adult. Which means she sees you as lesser.
