I think it depends on the role of the person talking to you, including their age and gender. The more young, casual, and carefree they are, the more love they can get away with showing you.
The older, more professional and serious they are, the more weight their words will have, and the less love they will be able to show you.
The former group is less threatening, more lighthearted, and more naive. Even if they make a mistake, you will likely perceive it as adorable, whereas the latter group making a mistake is more likely to make you cringe.
For your example, “I start smiling when I see you”, it would probably be cute if a 4-year-old girl told you. Or perhaps a foreigner learning English could tell you this line, until they grow past a certain level of proficiency, after which they appear more mature and professional. When they act less correct and mature than what their character allows, the same words will change to look cringy or pathetic rather than adoring. You may get a feeling that they’re “trying too hard” or that they’re immature/childish in a negative way. I think these dynamics are really interesting
