What does mean when a guy calls you "love" ?

[Anonymous]

I get annoyed when a guy or a worker who I just met calls me "love"

It feels like disrespect. What do you think?

[Guy13]

I am guessing that he has an affinity for you. If it bothers you then gently with a big smile say, "my name is..., the his name." If he doesn't stop then then he is a purposeful irritating SOB !!

When i played with the Brits during University soccer, the girls would always call me "love". Or, "are you bloody chasing that woman, love... you're a mess lovey."

I have never heard a guy say "love" unless in jest and smart ass back. And usually it comes with a "why don't you love up on this love"

You know the vibe, tone, and pitch as I am not there...

Yeah exactly vibe does really matter. He was the doctor who examine me. American. Late 30's. He was also "I'm gonna put my arms on your breast I apologize in advance" While he does ultrasound around my neck

Yes it is disrespectful. It would have been more appropriate if he calls you " Dear" instead.

[Asker]

The doctor who seen me called me "Love" I mean was he flirting with me? Or looking down on me?

[serious]

I don't know if the doctor calling you " Love" was flirting or not but it certainly inappropriate. As for him looking down on you could be an indication of perverted nature.

[Asker]

So you think he was looking down then? He's most probably 10-12 years older than me

[serious]

Yes I think so.

[Asker]

I kinda liked him though 😂 But I got pissed when he called me love

[serious]

I understand.

[Asker]

He said he's gonna out his arms on my breast he apologize in advance

[serious]

You mean he is going to put his arms on your breast and he apologized for that in advance?

[Asker]

He was doing ultrasound on my neck. He needed to put his arms on ny breast. that's what he said

[serious]

Okay. Well, it seems he likes touching you for sure.

[Asker]

how old are you?

[serious]

I am 35 years old. Why do you ask?

[susie22]

I agree, it does kinda annoy me when a guy calls me love or babe or honey or sweetheart or anything similar, it seems a bit disrespectful and even a bit demeaning. I call others by their name and I guess I expect the same in return.

[spartan55]

I think it's usually a cultural thing. Is he American?

[Asker]

He is American.

Then that's weird af
