lmw123 Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Do some guys call a girl buddy out of habit and because they think it's cute?
CautiouslyOptimistic Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 I think calling any woman buddy is weird. Jillian Michaels does it on some of her workout videos and it is very annoying. 2
preraph Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 They do it to make sure they only think of you as a buddy and nothing else. They don't want you to get the wrong idea. 2
kendahke Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Do some guys call a girl buddy out of habit and because they think it's cute? Do you mean calling a girl "buddy" or calling her on the phone as a buddy as he would do a male friend? If it's the first, I think it's their way of letting the girl know that they've got her squarely in the friend zone and nothing romantic is going to transpire, but she's cool enough to keep at arm's distance, emotionally. I don't think "cute" applies, really. It is what it is--and it's not going anywhere. If it's the latter, then for whatever reason, he likes talking to her. I dont' necessarily see that as being cute.

Joga_31 Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 I think its odd, same as calling a woman 'sport' but I would laugh my butt off if you are telling me since I am a guy, then I would tell you why would u say such a odd thing to your girlfriend or partner.
dumbass2 Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Calling a girl "buddy" early on means he doesn't think of you as a romantic interest, just one of his "buds" that happens to be female and he might like to hang out with some times. 1
Chilli Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Yeah , must admit , l'm guilty of it in situations like Preraph mentioned where l don't want her to get the impression it might be more. Not a good sign if your interested in him. 1
basil67 Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Here, a guy would call her "mate" if she's just a friend and he's not interested.
stillafool Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Guys call girls "buddy" or "bud" when they are one of his platonic friends and he has no romantic interest. A guy doesn't address a girl this way when he wants to be romantic with her.
savvy2008 Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 I'm a female, so the dynamic may be different, but I tend to call guys buddy, or something similar. Sometimes it is just because they're my friends or close coworkers, but sometimes I actually really like them as more and am saying it jokingly. Kind of playing down the fact that I obviously really like them, by calling them "buddy" or "friend" when they clearly mean more to me than that. I used to call a friend buddy a lot and he would call me "pal". We ended up dating for almost a year and would still call each other those names throughout the relationship. So it doesn't always mean disinterest. But I realize that quite often it does, so you just have to read the tone and body language of the person when they're saying it.
d0nnivain Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 It's probably a sign that there is no romantic interest, unless he's under 17. Then he may be clueless & think it's cute. 1
thefooloftheyear Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Strange thing..... Ive had mostly male dogs in my life....And I called them all "buddy" quite frequently, even though none of them were named Buddy... Now I have a female dog, and while I call her princess, sweety, and a host of other nicknames, I've never once called her "buddy".... So, yeah....It's not a phrase normally associated with women...I'd say the guy has poor relationship etiquette, or he's trying to send a message(he doesn't view her as romantic partner material)...
