    I love them. Being called babe or baby makes me happy. I also call my man the same or sugar, pumpkin, sexy, handsome...whatever I feel at the time.

    Pet names coming from the right person can make your heart skip a beat

    ^^^Agreed.

    Baby, love, hun, sweetie, beautiful, gorgeous, sexy......all give me butterflies (coming from the right person)

    But don't call me "dear" or you might get slapped.

    ^^^^^ all of this! I'm not a fan of ma'am either but that's not a pet name. (It makes me feel old!!)

    The girl I'm currently dating is tolerating it. She's never allowed anyone to call her anything but her name or the short version of it.

    I've always given those I cared about pet names. When I don't, you can be sure that I don't really really care for you one way or another. :laugh: People just express their affections differently. I haven't had one person who was close to me object to this yet, probably because through getting to know me, they know it's a good thing when I do give them pet names.

    Well being from the South, everyone gets called 'sugar', 'honey', 'babe', and 'darling' pretty frequently. I don't have a problem with pet names but my husband and I don't have any for each other.

    My massage therapist calls me "beautiful"... :happy: ... it's okay, he's gay and in a committed relationship.

    No one calls me "baby"... ewww. don't like that one.

    "babe" I hear a lot...

    ************

    One day, a couple of old timers were sitting on the front porch, and every time the wife of one of them came by, he called her "sugar', "honey bunch", or "sweetheart"

    "Wow, you are sure romantic with your wife!" the other one said.

    "I just can't remember her name" the old-timer confessed...

    My boyfriend and I use more Japanese pet names. He calls me Manda-kun (even though it should be Manda-chan, but he doesn't like "chan" as much) That doesn't bother me. And I have called him "Sweet leaf" from the Black Sabbath song, before I knew what it was about.(I assumed it was tea... O.o) I still call him that occasionally.

    He also calls me Manderz, or just Derz. I think that's kinda cute, but I had one of my friends call me that before him, and that's where he got the idea.

    I like them, I like when they are special the ones a couple creates over time. I also like the regualr ones lol, I call everoyne hun. I called an elderly man hun today and didn't realize it until he took a double take at me, lmao.

    My husband calls me cumquat, Gizmo (my military boys gave me that), sweetie, kiwi, super girl, ect

    to me it seems special, I don't know I am weird

    I only want to be called like that when its coming from either my fiance, mom or my amigas but otherwise I hate it. My fiance & I call ourselves the usual spanish pet names amor, bb (short of bebe = baby in spanish) or mami/papi but I feel him more when he calls me mami and me calling him papi.

    usually just sweetie or hunny, but I called him hunny bunny for the longest time lol. IDK why I bother, he only answers to his name, it's like if I call him outside of his name he just doesn't hear me haha

    I always call my lady "Pretty Girl", which she has always seemed to like. I also call her baby and sweetheart, but thats about it. She has a lot of nicknames. Personally I get tired of hearing Ben all the time, so its nice to be refereed to as something else

    since i don't usually keep them around long enough to actually bother with names....

    "baby" seems to work just fine.
