Does it mean anything when he calls you by your short name?
Hi guys, we've only known for a 2 weeks and we get on quite well. it's just that he has started to call me by my short form name recently (for example he calls me beccy instead of Rebecca). because we don't know each other for long for him to calling me by short name, that's what I think. I do fancy him a bit. also he says, come on, I thought we're bantering. so help guys? I hope I'm not reading too much. does he mean anything or nothing at all? thank you all!
cheers

If you are wondering if thats a form of flirting to call someone by their nickname, I wouldn't put much hope in it. When introduced, whatever name you give a person in the beginning is usually the name a person goes by. I didn't insist on going by my shortened name until well into adulthood. So I have the people who knw me from previously who still call me that and others including my 2nd husband who knows my full name by calls me by what he was first given.
Since I have not reserved a certain name only for those I know well, I am not sure what the proper thing to do is. If your friends call you Becky, you can't be saying I want to be called Rebecca. Becky is only for close friends. That would sound hurtful to someone who is honestly wanting to be your friend. Is it such a big deal really? You could start a conversation asking him why he started calling you by your shortened name. Once he has told you which is most likely because thats what others have been calling you, it would seem odd that you are not wanting him to call you that if you said something here. But its your call. Just know that making a fuss over this might jeopardy your new friendship if he ends up thinking you are snobby.
