why does he call me by all these names?


Question Posted Tuesday July 25 2017, 2:15 pm

Hey there,
just curious about my male friend calling me all these pet names like baby, babes, sweetie pie and darling. the thing is he has recently started to call me baby. I don't mind being called all that because we're good mates and we always have a banter when we see each other we joke and argue at the same time, more of a disagreement on a certain topics, I would say but we just gel well. he also said, 'you're making me falling in love with you' and smiled when I bought him lunch at college. well, sometimes he buys me and sometimes I buy him. I like him a little but I don't know about him. why would he say all this? any reason? Appreciate the answers!

I have met males who never call a female by their actual name even if they know it but use terms of endearment with each female they speak with. I would have to say, the greater majority of them could be doing it because of some kind of mental image they have in general about women. And believe me, once a female learns to trust her intuition, she will instinctively know if his talking like this means he is hitting on her or if it is just how he talks to women. My husband is polite with women. Out in public,I often hear him saying Yes M'am and No M'am. He is very intuitive and picks up on when a person needs some support in way of a compliment and will pay a compliment. I am usually with him but I have observed without being next to him also and only once in all the women he has called M'am or Hon, I have only seen one pick up his intentions wrong. She was a cashier and saw me in line with him and immediately after his compliment, her eyes darted nervously to mine thinking probably the gall of this man to compliment her (honestly) while I was standing right there, obviously with him.
So trust your intuition....it must be picking up on something for you to even write in about this.
If you think it odd for a male friend to seem to act like he is interested as more than a friend, that is actually lots more common than you may think and one of the most popular questions asked here...how to know for sure.
The best way is to simply ask him which should be easy to do is the guy is already a friend.
you need to say something like what you told me.
SOmething like" I have noticed how over time and more recently you have begun calling me pet names or terms of endearment if you will. I wonder if this is simply part of your personality and how you talk to any female you are comfortable with or if you possibly are having feelings of more than friendship." (Here is where he tries to answer you, gets scared and refuses to answer or cautiously asks why you are asking and you will need to give him some kind of encouragement to tell you the truth.)

I have been thinking, that if you feel for me as more than a friend or are just curious, how would I feel about it and I am not sure. I like you as a friend but can't know yet that it would work out as more than friends, however I am willing to give it a try.

out of habit and not really realize it
