He calls me "kid"...what does that mean?

[flumen333]

I have a guy friend that I kind of like and I think he kind of likes me too. We're ten years apart, he's 31 and I'm 21, but we get along really well. In fact, I helped him decorate his new apartment today. While we were shopping for furniture, a saleslady mistook us for husband and wife and he was totally okay with the situation. He even made comments about our "married" life together in front of the sales clerk. In the past he has called me sweetie, but today he called me kid. Is this a friendly greeting or what is something sweeter? In other words, does he like me as a friend or as a girlfriend?

He has also told me that I'm pretty and he likes my hair. He was also pleasantly surprised that I know how to take care of myself and I'm very independent. He has also said that I"m not like a lot of girls. Does all this add up to him liking me?

When you say you helped decorate his apartment did he ask for you take /advice on what to get or how to do it. The reason I ask is a guys could take advice for decorating his new place for a sister or mother. But if your neither you could good be a best friend that just happens to be female or he likes you more then you perceive and he wants your help so you feel more welcome there / at home like.

i think humphrey bogart out of casablanca when I hear kid thrown around, sometimes I do it too. I'd ask if he's seen the movie the next time he does it, if he hasn't - it could be just a friendly name, but if he has, then it's possible that it's much more romantic than sweetie...

I know he's a huge movie buff, so it probably is from Casablanca. I hadn't thought about that though. Thanks!
