What does it mean when a girl calls you "lovely"?

[rodo123]

A bit of background information first, so I've been talking to this girl for about a month now, there's been signs of interest on both sides. A while ago she told me about this basketball league her dad plays at, and told me I should go. I texted her yesterday and asked her what time it was at, she texted me back with all the details. I then called her about an hour later to ask her some more things about it, she didn't pick up and she called me back after an hour.. I pick up and say "hey" and she goes "hey lovely". I pause for a minute because it kinda took me by surprise then I go, ..."so about this basketball thing.. blah blah blah". Then we started talking. Having said all that, what could this mean or am I just overanalyzing? Why and when would a girl call a guy "lovely". I assume being called lovely is different than being called a lovely person. For example, "you're a lovely person" as opposed to what she said to me " hey lovely".

its obvious she thinks your gay.. and its obvious to all of us here that she is right..

But really who cares if your gay.. its not such a bad thing.. In today day and age its very acceptable to be gay.. just be glad you didn't grow up gay in the 50s where you would of had to hide it.. just be happy with who you are.

I agree that it's just a term of endearment, nothing to get too worked up about. Could you look at mine please (it's called "Based on his behavior, is he losing interest?" in the Relationships category. Thanks!)

You're overanalyzing, it's an endearing term, nothing more.
