I assume she meant the two of you together would constitute a couple that others might consider cute . An alternate and somewhat less likely interpretation is that you could manufacture one . As in, " Look, Leonard and Leslie made Mr. and Mrs. Goldfarb . Aren't they adorable? "

If Penny didn't know that Leslie had turned me down, then it would unambiguously mean that she, Penny, thought I should ask her, Leslie, out, indicating that she had no interest in me asking her, Penny, out . But, because she did know that I had asked Leslie out and that she, Leslie, had turned me down, then she, Penny, could be offering consolation . " That's too bad, you would have made a cute couple, " but while thinking: " Good, Leonard remains available . "
