What does it mean when a guy gives you a nickname?

[Anonymous]

So a while ago I was talking to this guy about my best friend and I mentioned a thing she said with the nickname she gives me. Today he suddenly sent a message ' Hey *insert nickname* 🤓'
I was surprised because he remembered the name she uses (it's not that logical)

Friends

Likes you

I dunno

In most cases he wants to get closer to you and get to know you better and hopefully start going out with you

I think he's trying to get in on an inside joke, which usually means he wants to get closer to you

[abundantlyrich]

he's just being friendly and trying to connect with you more unless you think he wants to bed you?

There's no reason he wouldn't like you if he does this. Bingo bango bongo, you got boyo
