Guy I have a crush on called me by my nickname. He got my nickname from a gift a guy gave me. Normal?

[Anonymous]

My name is pretty long so my friends and family call me by my nickname. Anyways, I posted a picture of a gift that a guy gave me yesterday and on that gift there was a card with my nickname. The guy I have a crush in saw my story. Anyways, a day after (today) my crush starts calling me by my nickname. Is that normal?

That’s normal

Yeah, it sounds like. You know what I find weird? Yesterday I had s small disagreement with my crush to which he cleared up. I honestly thought that was the end of that and it turns out today he reached out trying to call me and used my nickname (out disagreement was about him always being busy).

I think your crush likes you 😊

Other ladies on this app believe he's just stringing me along and wasting my time.

[WhitneySnow]

How old are you guys?

I'm 24 and he's 34. My issue with him is that I feel like he's giving me bread crumbs. I noticed it yesterday when I told him I'd stop talking to him if that behavior continues and he replied immediately trying to resolve the "misunderstanding" and once it was cleared up he went back to taking a long time to reply. To which I just ignored and it was today, a day after, where he reached out again trying to call but I told him I'm at work.

Huh. That’s really annoying. Maybe you better stop talking to him for real if that’s how you feel.
