Ashley S Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 It's guys that I don't know that well, and guys that know me very well, that always refer to me as their "girl". For instance, I met this guy at a bar, we were talking for only about two hours, then his friend comes in and he's talking to him, and then he introduces his friend to me and says "This is my girl." Then a couple of my guy friends did the same thing. I was talking to a guy, and then my guy friend comes up, and hugs me, and says "This is my girl, dude!" Some guys that don't know me well say it too. It's awkward to me lol, I don't understand how they feel comfortable saying "my girl", when I am not anyone's girl! I thought that was only a girlfriend reference? I don't refer to any guys as "my boy". I don't get how guys feel comfortable saying "my girl" to someone they hardly know, or to someone they do know, but are just friends, and never dated. So why is that? Do guys feel more comfortable saying "My girl", instead of "My friend"? Is it a way of flirting? What do you think? Thank you.
smackie9 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 It's no different than an elderly man calling you dear. It's a show of endearment. 3

I suspect it's probably just local vernacular, as a term of endearment. 3
shvrk Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 It's kinda like saying that you're buds... I've been around guys that would be like "Yeah, that's my girl!" Sorta like ... "That's my homie." Pretty simple really, I don't think it's much more than that. 2
Fhsjkfjrhsdh3646 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Ashley if you're being flirty with guys, they might use it as a term of endearment, and in a way to flirt back with you. 1
ExpatInItaly Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Not flirting, no. The way I've generally heard it used is to indicate a good female friend. 1
Author Ashley S Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks Everyone! I didn't know it was used as a term for endearment. That's interesting, so thanks for informing me on that.
Quiet Storm Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I think it's similar to a guy who refers to his friends as "my boys". It's just another way of saying you are a good friend.
