I believe guys should not use those endearments if they are planning to move on...such is the case with me, and a guy i dated a while back.

They probably forgot your name...

if I like a girl, I glare at her eye-on-eye and say her name every time I address her

Wow! I'm not a user of such names often..However, I did call my wife a pet name..She would question why I stopped sometimes..I honestly think we don't mesn harm, but are trying to show endearment...someone special..If it's not for you, tell us. Honestly, I don't mind someone calling me by a pet name...each to their own...but let us know.

Cute nicknames like baby, sweetie are adorable. I personally have a fondness for being called 'babydoll'.

I think it shows that there is really a little more interest involved. Sometimes I just hate the sound of my name being called.

your mama named ya somtin special now a man feels u r special and is expressing interest. Accepting this attempt of flirying may allow him to proceed you with more confidence if you are interested. blocking j=his attempt to seperate you from the norm will most likely leave you there sweetie.

I understand exactly where you're coming from. It's very annoying the first time you have a conversation with someone and they immediately call you"baby"before they even ask your first name!.It irks me but I very nicely ask them not to refer to me as"baby" or"honey" as I have a name I would rather be addressed as and then if they don't comply,I simply stop corresponding with them.

I think in some cases yes they did forget your name. Perhaps it is because your name does not appeal to them, at least when they hear themselves say it. Men are complicated when it comes to communication lets not forget that fact.

Their are a lot of names out there, And if you meet a lot of people, It's just easier to say honey. Than trying to remember the name of some dame you met just outside of Chicago, Four years ago.

Their are worse things to be called, And maybe they didn't get much of an impression from you, So they adapted. Deal with it!! Least someone is talking to you!

And their is a lot more stuff to worry about on the planet. A comet is coming that is going to incinerate all of us, And their is nothing you can do about it. Actually worrying about that won't help either.

good luck......mike

It has never bothered me, normally I'll start to do that if they call me something first. Also, I find it extremely formal to refer to the person by their first name when I have feelings for them. It's as if I'm calling them Ms Smith or something. Weird, don't really know just happens that way.

Personally I love it. It is creepy from a slimy stranger though! LOL But from a boyfriend, husband or even someone I do find attractive in the mall. LOL Either it makes me feel cared about or it's just a way of flirting. Either way, I don't mind...


HEY!! I'm a slimy stranger and I resent that remark!!

Never with someone I don't know.

On the flip side, I still call my ex-GF's "dear" sometimes, especially if its like a pet died or something, I usually slip into "I'm sorry, dear".

I guess it just for showing the other person that you are special for him/her. I have this habbit of calling everyone really close to me with a different pet name. And if I am not calling a person by this "special" name, then she is not special to me. Infact one of my friends, was so surpirsed to hear her name from me, that she told me that its almost a few months I actually heard you calling me by my name.

To avoid making a terrible mistake shouting other girl's name when having sex with you.

Don't tell anybody I told you!
