My boyfriend doesn't call me petnames anymore. Not even "Babe, Baby, Boo etc". Just straight up, "hey". Is he no longer interested in me?

[Anonymous]

All before it was all the cutest petnames you could think of, now he barely texts me.

[MiiraQueeb]

Seriously?
Aren't you his girlfriend?
He doesn't text you?
Honestly?
What kind of a boyfriend is this...

Hm, have you had a date with him recently, or has he been acting strangely?
Do you both attend the same school?
When was the last time you talked/contacted/seen your boyfriend?

Personally, he doesn't seem turned on by something.
We don't know what this 'something' is.
If he gradually stops getting in contact with you, as his girlfriend, something's up.
Whether he died, or he cheated on you, or the WiFi broke down and he's having a mental breakdown.
And if he hasn't... y'know, done some fratting with you (e. g. physical contact, hugs, kisses, xoxo), um... i don't know what to say...

How long has this relationship been on for?

[Hulkette86]

Girl RUN!!! LRD are the worst! I ended up with a psycho! And yeah if its long distance then I'd bet he is talking to someone else now & just gave you the usual allotted time he gives every "girlfriend". I'm sorry I know this is hard to hear but I've been through it & trust me, if he's talking to you then he's talking to other girls as well. He is just ready to move on to the next girl. He was bored & horny & now a new girl has his attention. Please do yourself a favor & get rid of him. Find a guy in real life. I'm only telling you from my own personal experience. I'd never ever do the ldr thing EVER again. Best to ya hun

[Asker]

Thanks, but I actually live for LDRs. I've never dated a guy in my own state before. I actually find that more scarier because his exs and all them could be living in the same city, ready to cause me trouble and I don't have time for that. I only do long distance so I can stay out of trouble, meaning no sex, til I'm married. I always make sure the guy I'm dating understands this, then I give him the opportunity to stay or leave. It works for me and I have this sixth sense whether or not my boyfriend is cheating, just like I did with the rest of them. I realize LD dating is definitely not for everybody, and I can understand that.

[Hulkette86]

Ok well I get it :) I hope you are right & it works out for ya!! :)

[Asker]

Thank u, and i really do appreciate the warning. U can believe I hear/d it a lot when I first started dating almost four years ago. It's like I'm testing to see how good the guy actually is. And if he truly loves me, he'll come to me and marry me. If he can't even hold out and love just me, then he isn't worth anything to me and I'll move on.
I'm extremely sorry about what happened to u. I definitely dated some jerks myself.

[Hulkette86]

Awesome! I'm happy to know things are good then, and no problem! I just don't want any more victims of this crazy thing... And no worries, thank you, mine just turned out to be psycho. So I always warn anyone, its just not safe out there unfortunately.

[aamina_m]

I'm sorry but usually when this happens it means he's starting to lose interest. Start making yourself scarce and see what happens.. honestly I never know what to do when a guy starts losing interest but do the OPPOSITE of panic!!!

[Jaron29]

Oopps! Honeymoon phase is due.

That is, according to your lousy boyfriend. A man who truly loves his girlfriend seeks to constantly understand her and continously be sweet towards her. True love has no expiration date for the honeymoon/obsession phase, everyday is rainbows and butterflies for the couple genuinely in love. You know why, because his girlfriend is always his first priority. And same of him to her. That is the entirety of love, its so easy so grasp, but too many daft people in this world, always complicating love. So it becomes elusive nowadays. LOL.

But just too baaad for you. Your boyfriend doesn't have an understanding heart like mine. You just have to suck it up. Or find a better boyfriend who is more caring towards you.

[Asker]

Yeah, you're right about that. I honestly don't even believe I'm his first priority like he is mine. For me, it's still sunshine and rainbows. I still call him cute petnames, but he just doesn't return them anymore. I honestly don't get why he keeps holding onto me if he genuinely doesn't give a darn.

[Jaron29]

How about you talk to him about it. (:
Sit him down, and tell him your heart's concerns.

If by then, he still doesn't care, you know something is wrong, he is taking thing for granted.

[Asker]

I will one day, thing is we're long distance. Him OH, me NC. We do a heck of a lot better in person. But because his work is there and my school is here, we don't see each other. In the full eight months we've been together, we've only seen each other once. We got along smoothly. 😏

[Jaron29]

Wow! Once in 8 months! That's sad for a r/s, as in I really feel bad for you both. ):
I will feel damn stress if I only get to see my girl once in 8 months. I'll be bad tempered most of the time if it happens to me. Lol.

For you, I hope you and your boyfriend have it sorted out. (:
I wish you a good r/s, every nice girl deserves to be loved and appreciated.

[Asker]

Awe shucks, thank you 😊. I'm hoping something will happen that'll bring us closer together.

[MrGroove]

Probably has something/someone else on his mind. This could mean he's losing interest but also that he's worried about something. Pay more attention to the way he acts in public with you and other girls, friends. Do not pressure him, he may be sensitive.

[Xoxoxooo123]

That is terrible. I'm sorry. He's your boyfriend and he should be treating you well- if he doesn't treat you well just be aware there is always another guy who will

[Asker]

Yeah i know. It's just hard to shake this one off if he isn't the one

[ginnyweasley]

sounds like your honeymoon phase is over he should treat you better

[Asker]

Someone tell him that! Although at the same time, he knows I don't put up with but so much bs. If push comes to shove where he truly can't get it together, I'm moving on. It'll be hard, but I'll be alright...

[JuicyBrain]

Did something happen? Did you guys fight? Did you distance yourself?

[Asker]

Not really. Though we did argue a lot every now and then. We're long distance.

[JuicyBrain]

Oh... Long distance... Honestly, I do not believe in them. It's not a real relationship. It may be fun for some time, but you can't have a real relationship if you can't touch the person. Eventually, you just lose interest. I don't think it's reasonable to believe that LDR have any chance of lasting. We are human beings, we need to be touched, kissed, cuddled, etc... Maybe he started seeing someone?

[Asker]

I honestly wouldn't know. He keeps saying he's not talking to anybody else and that i need to stop thinking that. We've broken up and gotten back together at least 6 times in the 8 months we've been a couple. There is this one chick on fb that he's known for a while and he's been commenting and liking her stuff, so I don't know. We recently got back together five days ago.

[Asker]

We've both admited to feeling numb. I don't send him nudes because I'm not that type of woman anymore. And i told him we can't sex text anymore either. He agreed to it, but i know he's not used to that sort of dating, yet he keeps coming back.

[JuicyBrain]

Why bother? It feels like you are nothing more than online friends...

[Asker]

Exactly. I honestly don't even see him as my boyfriend anymore.

[Asker]

If he starts behaving more like my boyfriend, then it won't be any problem for me to fully open back up my heart to him. Right now, I'm just going day by day, praying he still actually cares about me as his girlfriend. (P. s. Sorry for the sob story)

[Anonymous]

I'm sorry to say this but yes he is no longer interested in you. If a guy stops calling you petnames it means it's over. Most people think when their boyfriend is cheating, lying, or ignoring them for weeks means the guy is no longer interested but that's not true, when a guy stops calling you petnames is what truly determines that a guy is not interested

[Anonymous]

Are they required for a boy to be in a relationship with a girl?

[Asker]

Well, it should come naturally if you truly care about someone.

[Opinion Owner]

But is it required. I asked a question

[Asker]

Honestly no.

[Opinion Owner]

Then why ask

[Asker]

Meh. Good point. But that's the only why I know he's into me.

[Opinion Owner]

I'm sorry you feel that way then

[Asker]

It's all good.

[Opinion Owner]

I was being sarcastic

[Asker]

It's alllll gooood. I'm not stressing u

[Opinion Owner]

You're not answering me though

[Asker]

About what?

[Opinion Owner]

What I asked you

[Asker]

You mean the "why ask then"?

Because that's what I'm used to and what I require in order to know he cares for me. He's never once even called me by my name... that's just weird to me.

[Opinion Owner]

So these are rules when it comes to dating?

[GirlsLie]

He's probably just comfortable with you now/losing interest, that happens after awhile. Talk to him, tell him how you feel, you could always try new things as well.

[Anonymous]

Maybe he came to the realization that pet names are fucking gay.

[Asker]

Lol
(Filler)

[Anonymous]

I guess if Paul Newman in his prime called you HEY it would be OK... that was his M. O. and reflects more of a real relationship than the "honeymoon" Boo/et. al

Less texting is normal if personal appearance are more frequent & more likely

[Nik1hil]

Game of lust is over! You had sex and now you both need to move to next partner's

[TheSpartan]

He probably thinks pet names are stupid.

[Asker]

Probably, but i doubt it.

[TheSpartan]

He could just not be that social of a person. I know that when I'm first wooing a woman, I have to be uncomfortably social. Then, I back off some, because I'm more comfortable that way.

[Asker]

Really? Hmm. When u put it like that, it makes sense and doesn't make me feel as bad anymore. Thank u.

[Anonymous]

all I want to say is " a smart girl leaves before she is left."

[LordZero]

I never got a girlfriend.
