The first three have the most solid effect on how a guy acts around a girls. If by chance you two are young teenagers, which I suspect you are. Then how his mother raised him to act around a girl is at play here.
Calling a girl babe is considered by many to be disrespectful. If his parents, specifically his mother who is most responsible for teaching manners in most families, is someone who feels this is disrespectful. Then this is what she has taught him.
The flip side of the coin is that he may be waiting for you to give into something he wants from you. Like having sex with him before he will call you babe or refer to you as his babe. This to my mind is not a reason to have sex with someone. You are probably way to young to be having intercourse in the first place and a boy wanting sex before he will refer to you as his babe is being very shallow and disrespectful on the other end of the scale.
This is all subjective on my part as I don't know either you or him. You really need to talk to him and find out why? Another thing is that boy/men don't get a handbook on dating or what is the best way to treat a girl/women. They get both good and bad ideas from their environment, such as movies, TV and other boys/men.
You,the girls/women, need to teach the boys/men how you wish to be treated if you want to be treated properly and respectfully. While we men only think we rule the world it is actually the women who allow us to rule while telling us how to do so. If you don't believe me just ask your mom.
