Flirty pet names

Hey I need some help!
I've been seeing a new guy for a couple months now and things are progressing nicely, but I feel it's too formal to keep using his name in texts. Saying "babe" kind of freaked him out a few weeks ago even though I meant nothing by it.
Surely there's some cutesy pet names I can use for him.
I mean, I don't want him to read too much into it. Not jumping into marriage yet.

I suck at the sweet nickname shiz that I see all over everyone's walls around here. Can someone help a sister out?

    Never too early for pet names, try "stud" and "schnoomums" and if he doesnt go for it just stick with "bro"

    I use hun, cutie pie, sweetie pie, darling, babe, baby (even I feel weird about using that one though, I just use it to try to change it up). I'm new to relationships, and we're at 4 months, but even at 2 months we were using "babe" a lot, so another dude being freaked out by it that early suggests that we got super comfortable super quick, so maybe these still are too serious for him.

    Maybe try obviously joking ones but ones that are still cute? I think along the lines of baked goods, so sugar butt, cinnabun, beignet...

    If babe freaked him out it might just be a little too soon. Leave the ball in his court. When he starts calling you by something special you know you can reciprocate.

    He calls me Doll sometimes.
    Idk what the male equivalent of that would be.

    Go to Barnes and Noble. Ask the help center. Explain to them exactly what you said here.

    Please actually do this, because i want to know how it goes

    Maybe you could take a version of his name in Spanish or French and call him that...it'll irritate the crap out him until he finally accepts "babe".

    :)

    lol that's like the least ever romantic pet name.

    He walks in the door, "'Sup dude".

    Ok, if he has an issue with Babe, I am thinking he might have an issue with any Pet Name.

    I call my fiance whatever comes to mind. The usual is babe, but sometimes it's sugar tits, big ol' booty, MILF, hooka, smut muffin, twinkle toes, etc.

    You might not be far enough into the relationship though, lol.
