He keeps calling me sweetie. Guys, would you do this...?

[Anonymous]

me and my ex broke up over a few arguments we had recently...it just kinda got too much. any way we agreed to have time apart and see how we felt..i mean I really miss him a lot, I did no contact for a week and he messaged me a couple of times but it was just short texts, nothing serious. any way we spoke yesterday and he said he loves me and he wants to be with me so much but the arguments are too much, he said if he can get in his head that we can limit the arguments we'll be fine. we haven't spoke much...but he asked me if I had a good time at my friends party etc and keeps calling me sweetie.

from a girls point of view, if I had no intentions of getting back with someone I would not call them sweetie as I wouldn't want to give them false hope on the relationship. what do you guys think, would you do it?

As a guy, completely!

I still call my ex girl-friend "babe" and on occasion tell her she's sexy but really have absoloutely no intention of getting back together and I'm very clear on that.

We held onto the mutual love for one another but know we aren't right together. It p*ssed her off a lot at first because things where still raw but now its something we both do (she has a new boyfriend and I highly approve of him).

Go by what the guy says, look to confirm how honest and truthful a guy by his interactions with others. Combine both.

Sounds like he wants to salvage the relationship. What was it that you always fought about, if you don't mind my asking.

Just stupid things that really shouldn't of mattered or caused an argument over but did somehow. usually if he'd done something in the past, and I brought it back up and he didn't like it we'd end up arguing over it. never anything serious.

Maybe you two should get together and talk it over. It sounds like there might be hope. You both have had a little time to breathe maybe its time to go out and get some coffee. No pressure just social.

I have told him that I want to get back together, but it seems like he's not sure if its a good idea. he said he just wants to think on it... he's asked me if I am going to one of our friends party over the weekend, I weren't going to go as I thought it might be quite awkward but I've changed my mind.

[RainyDayMan74]

Sounds like he needs more time. See how he reacts at the party. It may tell you what you need to know.

How much time do you give, though?

It must reach the point where he's had enough time to think it through...
