Why does he call me "mami"?

[Anonymous]

I've been seeing this guy for a couple of weeks now and he keeps calling me "mami". I googled it, and it says it means mom in Spanish. It kind of freaked me out to be honest. So I was wondering if maybe it had another meaning, and should I be worried? Thank you.

Does he have South American roots or Spanish? It can be a latino thing, mami/papi, i dont think it's actually meant to compare you to his mom in any way. I' think it's something close to "sexy" or something but im not sure, haven't lookee it up

he's dominican

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with "mom" lol it's just a thing, like calling someone sexy/babe

No, hahaha is a common word for Dominicans, Puerto Ricans and Cubans, "mami" is another way of saying "baby" or "bae" . Mexican use it as a way of saying "you're hot" So, it has nothing to do with mom.

In our situation it could just be his nick name for you. I know I jokingly call my crush papi and sometimes he jokingly calls me mami.

It's not meant to be incest, it's more like damn girl, you look allllllll grown up.

[xcxbigdaddy]

its just like baby or shawty in English thats all.. u shouldn't be afraid of it but be more careful doesn't hurt

[COCOCHANEL]

there's nothing wrong with incest.
you need to be more tolerant.

[LastNightmare]

he's sexually interested in you. we call papi to guys and Mami to girls in sexy way

[SteppingOnRoses]

Mami may mean also that you're smokin hot.
