Hey, boo, thanks for the question.
Quite honestly, I have no clue. But I'm guessing you do. Pay attention to the way he interacts with all of the women in his life. Does he refer to his sister or mother with some sort of nickname or pet name (it does happen even with siblings and parents, I've seent it with my own two eyes).
Thing is, the use of pet names is no more indicative of if he likes you than if he pays for dinner every time you go out. It could very easily be something he just does because that's who he is, pookie. And hell, darling, you've only been dating for two weeks thus far, he might not have any clue if he's really into you yet. I definitely think its too early to be overthinking the relationship.
Anyway, if you want surefire signs that a guy is actually into you just pay attention to how much time he attempts to spend around you. If a guy is truly into you, he'll do whatever he can to spend time with you. Trust me.There's an age-old tradition called "we like space" that men usually subscribe to. However, when we come across a woman we're really jonesing for we damn near kill ourselves to be in their presence.
You say you're going to get a manicure, pedicure, and a face wrap? Ok, that's cool. I'll just sit here in front reading these magazines that aren't intended for me but you're there so it's okay.
Basically, pay attention to things that matter. Pet names don't tell the story. Unless he's calling you the b-word, in which case, yeah, he's probably not feeling you, toots.
It was written.
The B-word isn't a term of endearment? Blast. I need to stop using that on people. ;)
One thing to watch out for is this: *some* guys that like to cheat and play the field use multiple pet names so they never have to worry about accidentally calling a woman the wrong name.
Heard it first hand.
Took the words right out of my mouth. My dad used to do this!
Just makes me think....he forgot your name so he didn't want to call you by the name of one of his other girlfriends....
Some guys that I know just like to use pet names... it does make some girls uncomfortable (myself included) but you should be honest and tell him it makes you feel uncomfortable. That's what I did! He was super understanding and tried to lessen it. Pet names are no indicator of how much they like you though. One of my "pet-naming" bf's ended up being a total douche! I would give him his space and see if he tries to hang out with you more:)
I know guys who call multiple girls the same exact names. They aren't personal at all- it's just a generic meaningless way to say something he thinks a girl wants to hear. I wouldn't take it as an indicator as to how much they like you- if you want to do that it would be more of a negative insult than anything else. When he gives you a name that isn't generic, then you know this guy is a keeper and cares. Especially that you are in the honeymoon phase of a relationship right now.
Awww - he likes you tater tot!
(On another note)
Dang, ladies!
Way to lay down the heavy vibe!
It's all fluffy and cute and you turn it into something ominous.
If it bothers you, ask him to stop.
Simple as that.
I'd be careful as a lot of guys will use names like this to play the field and not get girls mixed up. There are sites like "dontdatehimgirl.com" that will give you a bit of reassurance and do a quick check to see if girls have reported him. Especially with this relationship being so new, I'd be careful so far. Don't fall for pet names this early in the game!
Uh huh - Foul carrion crow!
-Enter the Guyspeak competition.-
That site is at best ANNOYING!
It's all pink and full of advertisements - come on - it doesn't compare to Guyspeak. (Check out this sleek site!) Further, it seems to promote suspicion in women which is, in these days, parochial.
Guyspeak seems to be manned and visited by sensitive individuals who are not only addressing questions truthfully (it seems), but they are funny - and they can write. They promote healthy relationships, open-mindedness, and provide a forum to achieve this end. And it is entertaining.
Yay!
What we as people DON'T need is more of the negative overwrite of the low-brow girl/guy drone programming that we all are hit with as we mature.
And THAT is what dondatumgrl - or whatever - is all about.
Thank you for your time.
I'm out.
The barista at starbucks calls me sweetie. He's so fraking adorable that I let him. It makes me giggle like a little girl.
Here's the pet names me and my guy have for each other: Jerk and skank. Yep. REALLY endearing. Makes my heart go pitter patter. When I do get a honey or sweetie or babe in there it usually shocks me because that's just so out of character. So take those awesome names and run with it.
I really love it when dad's refer to their wives and daughters as beautiful. It warms my heart. Too bad my dad never said I was pretty...*cries*
No, it doesn't. At least in my situation. I had this online guy friend, we had been chatting for more than two years. Casual, innocent chats, nothing serious. Then a few months ago, he came to my country, and I met him in flesh for the first time. On the course of seven days, he had called me various pet names: sweetheart, darling, sweety, babe, honey. I had this frown on my forehead the first time he called me 'darling'. I was like, "Huh?". Turned out that he meant no harm in doing that. That's just the way he is, he's passionate. But gentlemen, we girls are verbal creatures. Have mercy, please.
This goes both ways..... I call a lot of people "dear" or "hun". Means nothing to me, really, just that they're a friend of mine.
I have a close guy friend who uses the words babe, hun, sweetie, sweetheart, darling a LOT... he is also a player, and I think his logic is so he would not call his girls by the wrong names? =( sorry, I don't mean to burst your bubble or something like that..
Panama Jackson, voted highest. Interesting, another brainwashed soul by the feministas. So a man should sit while his woman gets a pedicure to prove his love and worth? Akin to saying she should sit and watch me at the strip club. It is ironic how people seek out action to equate love. How do you come to a forum and ask strangers if the person you are interacting with loves you? He does not love you, I said it.
