If, in the courtship phase, you find yourself sending thoughtful presents in the mail, talking on the phone daily, and making special trips to see your significant other and there is no intention of maintaining these efforts, then you are setting a binding precedent that will doom you in the end. My advice, "Polite Doosh," is you better just stop before your lady figures it out on her own and see if you still stand a chance. Those small things are not "being polite" but are...uh...required.
