Why call your girlfriend or boyfriend baby?

[angeleyes26]

I don't get it maybe it's just me but why do guys/girls like to call one another baby were grown ups I don't get it

[dustyfootphilosopher]

its more of a style thing I think, like calling your girlfriend 'honey', 'sweetheart', 'love' or whatever...their all widely accepted terms...'baby' I think is a bit more 'modern' adaptation, but the basic concept is the same.

As for me, I tend to try and be as different as I can, something unique...it doesn't have to be something completely foreign, just something you don't hear everyday.

things like "ms daisy", "baby girl", "baby doll", "angelito" (spanish for 'little angel'...gf has a spanish background) and "beautiful" (surprised how little this accually gets said), while a bit cheesy, are all terms she just loves

Because humans naturally refer to their significant others as things that are pleasant or adorable. cutie, sweetie, sweetheart, honey, love, darling, etc. Baby is just another one on the list.

just to let everyone know there together, it makes there significant other feel appreciative, I called my last girlfriend baby simply because it a word that describes how precious she is to me.

because baby implies something so precious to you that you will be willing to risk you life to save her/him, like someone would with an actual baby

I think it's in reference as to how precious your significant other is to you.

It's just a term of endearment. "Hello Love." "Hi Sweetheart." "Hey Baby."

No idea on that one, I think it is just learned behavior and people think nothing of it.

I don't know I never really cared for the term I just prefer hon.

Lol... baby doesn't mean a kid, baby means the one i care about. .

The most logical reason is surely that your lover is suppose to give you a good feeling like a baby should
