Is it something that most guys would mind? For example, if I were saying goodnight to him I would say, "goodnight dear, I love you". Is that something that guys like being called? I'm only asking because my ex boyfriend hated it when I called him "hun" or "honey" when I texted him, he said it sounded too girlie for me to call him like that...
Haha, my boyfriend and I have always thought pet names are cheesy, so we jokingly started calling each other "sugarbutt" (him) and "honeyt*ts" (me). But then it ended up being shortened to "sugar" and "honey" and now we actually like it. XD It's corny, but I can't help it. Anyway, I don't think many guys would complain.

I like to use terms of endearment for guys that I date, but I make them seem less serious. Of course things like babe/baby are nice, but I may say "deary" instead of dear, or "m'dear" instead of my dear.
Its still cute, its my personality to say it, so it doesn't seem weird to say it.
he's an idiot, but hey you guys might be really young, don't worry dear, just say what you feel like and hopefully he's not too serious about what he said
and if it makes you feel better you can call me hun
Those terms of endearment are a bit too much for a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship that isn't that serious yet.
Cutie, stud, handsome are more acceptable names which will please the ears.

That's so normal it is like boring but very sweet and "en'dear'ing".
I don't see a problem with any of those nicknames. They're terms of endearment that girls and guys both use for each other. Your ex is a moron and should be your EX
I think most guys would like that if they really liked you. Shows affection.
i was dating a guy and had to dump him because I couldn't stand that he called me dear. it killed me lol.
totally intolerable- its only for grandparents to use.
how about babe or hun?!?!?!what does it mean if a girl that I'm not dating does this with me?
hate the word dear. deary or anything else. :(
