Is he interested in me or not?

Thinking to much into it, sweet is a neutral word.

Personally, sounds like Karma. But that being pushed aside; Yes he's interested. Usually when I call a woman sweet, it's to provoke a response. She thinks she has to (if she likes me) step up her sexy a degree or two. Why? Because "girls" are sweet. Uptight-I-have-only-had-one-drinking-experience-in-my-life girls are sweet. No woman, wants to be thought of as sweet. Especially if she pays bills and knows how to make coffee.

I think you're right - that other guy read way too much into it. "Sweet" can mean a lot of things.

If I call a girl "sweet," it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm interested in dating her. It also doesn't mean I'm not interested! Don't make the same mistake as that other guy by reading too much into it :)

I've told girls they were sweet. If they were sweet, I just say it. It's a compliment if anything, but would it have anything to do with the meaning of a girl being date-worthy or not? Not unless he really wants or doesn't want a girl who's sweet.

What I'm saying is, saying someone is sweet doesn't really mean much in this case.

I've called a couple girls 'sweet' before. It didn't mean much of anything, it was usually just when they'd said something cute or thoughtful about whatever. It wasn't a big deal, I wouldn't put too much thought into it.

I can sorta see why he felt a little insulted. I mean, well I like it when girls call me sweet. But it does kinda song like "aww your sweet, but I'll never date you". Don't ask why it sounds like that, it just does. But as a guy calling a girl sweet? Some words as a man, I just don't use. For example...SWEET!. lol I can't see myself calling anybody sweet. Maybe my girlfriend when we dated for like a year and I feel comfortable to say anything around her. But if I wanted to say something around that area, I would probably say something like " wow, you're a nice person lol or something like that. Not sweet. Sounds too I think some words only females should use. So I don't know what He's getting at.

I think he is, but it really depends on the person. A girl told me once that I was kind and nice and sweet, and I soon found out that she really liked me. But I could see some mean, bitchy stuck up girl saying that about anyone she only saw as a friend, just her way of being nice and not being mean. Like I said it depends on the person. If they come off as a nice person, he or she, depending on if you're a guy or a girl, probably likes you

Calling a guy sweet tends to come across as being a non-committal term of affection. Like... aww, look at the puppies... they're so sweet. Its friendzone material.

The difference is in the perception that women should be sweet and understanding and men should be tough. also calling a guy sweet is slang in some regions for calling him gay

I actually don't think so...
I think its just a expression to say that your sincerely understanding.
I called a female I was into, "Sweet" as a nickname...
So I don't think its to bad, but I've seen people use this in a way to where they meant sweet by young. Like, sweet as in innocent, and in a way, I did feel she was innocent.
It can be confusing, but that's why this site is here right?
Let me know if you need more.
I hope this helped...

When somone (guy or girl) calls someone "sweet" it generally means that one is trying to be nice while letting someone down easy. Just think about it...when someone gives you a gift, but you really don't like it, what would you say if they asked did you like the gift? "Awww, that' was so sweet of you" The word is viewed as condescending.

well you can't really tell he only called you sweet.You have to hang out with him and see what his actions are and how he talks to you.
