anya85 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Been out on a few dates with this guy, things seem to be progressing really well--we have a blast together in person, talk every day, hang out frequently. We were hanging out at my house last night and I noticed he called me "baby" a lot; as in "I have to go, baby.", but he used it at least 3 times during the evening. Which for some reason, stuck out in my mind. He's never said it before, though he'll call me "lady" and "ma'am"--haha. This was our fourth date, by the way. It just seems like, for me in the past, those types of names are saved for later, or even after exclusitivity. Maybe, I'm wrong or overthinking it, I've just never heard it so soon. We've never slept together or been intimate more than kissing. Do you use/have these types of names used early in dating?
missmich Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Hahahahaha! I had to laugh out loud for real just as I was talking on the phone with the guy I'm dating. I made a thread about this same topic not that long ago. I guess you start using the pet names when you both feel comfortable with it. I personally don't like Baby that much since it was all a former bf would ever call me. I do like Lady though and ma'am! lol
burningashes Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 My boyfriend started calling me Babe before we became exclusive and I secretly LOVED it. He still calls me his Babe now that we're exclusive :love: I would look at it as a gesture of affection, definitely a sign the guy is interested in possibly being exclusive with you at some point. Lady and Ma'am is good, Baby= no. At least for me. Does it put you off at all when he says that?
monkey00 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 People that are relationship minded will start calling you that. It's kind of a subconscious thing...but everytime I've been in a relationship I started calling a girl that before we became official.
