Do guys like being called babe or baby?

[Anonymous]

the guy I’m dating calls me baby a lot and I don't know what kind of endearing names to call him back I've never had a boyfriend before so I don't know...

[Zeus_66]

Good question. I've called my exes "hun" for which is obviously short for "honey." And I had a long term relationship with a girl that always called me "babe." I don't think I could've ever dated anybody else that called me babe though because if you knew the girl that called me that, it went with her personality. So think about what works for both your personality and what will resonate with him as a term of endearment. As your relationship develops, you'll figure out what the right word/term is.

Best wishes!

Those are fine. But otherwise, we prefer more masculine "pet names" rather than "cute" names that some girls want to use.

My boyfriend calls me babe and love while i call him baby and hunny. Everyone has their pick of endearing terms to call their so.
And i think we all like to be called pet names, its sweet and let's you know the person cares.

I've always HATED Pet Names. My Hubby can call my Sweetheart and I call him Sweets this is only relationship I like a Pet Name but only Sweetheart. And Ibcall our Son Sweetie Pie

Either one is fine for me. I wouldn't stress figuring out what to call him yet. I think some people, myself included, don't like babe or baby because it's so generic. Not bad but generic.

The most endearing names come to you naturally as you get to know the person better.

Ex. A girlfriend of mine had lovely curly fluffy hair. When we got close enough it became natural for me to call her my "fluffhead."

At first I thought it was weird, til I got a boyfriend who doesn't really do it. But whenever he does call me "baby" my heart flutters and my stomach knots up.

I usually call him (not all the time) baby, sweetheart, love, honey, b, basically anything that feel right in the moment

As for myself I don't care what you call me ( shithead, dipshit, pendejo, cabrón.) Just don't call me late for supper or sex.
I might be Latino & born a Yankee, but I grew up in Texas & I live the cowboy & redneck life.
Cowboys & Redneck DON'T care what you call us just don't call us late for dinner or sex.

Ah, good question.
I've been called babe by girlfriends, and I've had no problem with it.
I suppose it depends on the guy. Same with girls.

Every girl is darling to me, it's part of how I talk, but girlfriends are usually babe, baby, babygirl, my love or my angel. Some like it, some don't. Pet names are usually fine for most people.

I suggest trying one, and if they don't complain, it's ok. Just don't fall into the trap of saying it TOO MUCH, like in every sentence.

My ex often called me Babe and occasionally Baby. It was endearing coming from her. As common as it is, it was a first coming from a girlfriend so specifically from her I likes it. A woman after her called me Babe... it didn’t quite have the same effect. If anything, it just reminded me of my ex who also used my name a lot... something the other woman never did. Which is bizarre to me.

I just say babe and prefer that myself too. Not that I don't mind saying baby or being called baby myself... But it's just that you never really call an actual baby a babe so it just feels more fitting. You know what I mean?

[Kaneki05]

I like it :) Nothing wrong with that. I mean my best friend calls me mochi bear or bean i really don't mind. Affection i feel when i hear it that is the only thing that matters.

My husband hates babe or baby. I started calling him monkey as a joke, but 12 years later he loves monkey and thinks its cute. Though we don't use nicknames in public.

[NamerOfStars]

It doesn't bother me, but some guys might feel a little affronted. As a general rule, I'd stick with more masculine-sounding pet names until you've got a better feel for what he likes.

[novelita_21]

I like being called babe or baby if I'm in relationship with him

[MissDawn7961]

try saying this to him - since you call me baby a lot I am trying to think of a nickname to call you - ! thanks

[Lov2PlezUgurl]

Sweetheart honey sugar AND baby are all fine but sugar burger, babes, turtle honey poo please don't go there

[ellkell]

I don't have a preference. Babe, baby, love, lover, darlin, lady
I just don't like being called princess

[Ripper_E]

Not me. Why the fuck would I want to be called the same thing you called every guy before me? There is no significance to it. I'd rather just hear my name

[Mossberg500]

Call me daddy bitch.

Nah I don't mind babe or baby, it's very common. It's become kind of a boring go to cutesy name for every relationship, but I don't mind.

Just don't call me 'boo' or 'bae' or I'm out the doh.

[batchelorasylum]

Me and my girlfriend have multiple nicknames for each other it changes mid convo all the time but the main ones atm that we are guaranteed to use
Her to me is Floofy cactusMe to her is Honey Bear

[Barry88]

If it's the right girl calling me like that I would like it.

[JustTheTrue]

Call me papi to feed my ego lol
Honestly I don’t mind what she call me lol

[Nik1hil]

Don't call him baby..

You can use babe..

But it is better if you use words like..
Hunk, sexy, handsome.

Whatever you feel, or just his name. Don't overthink things like this. Whatever you do is fine.
