What does it mean if she gives me a nickname?

[Anonymous]

this girl I knew for a while, she just randomly shortening my name, kind of like a nickname, and I started shortening hers. What does this mean? Does it mean she kind of likes me?

I'm not the nickname calling type even with friends. Never been and probably never will be. However, I did find myself setting up a nickname for a friend when I started developing feelings for him. It's not even shortening his name, it's just something he reminded me of and I thought it was cute. On top of that, only we know the reason.

But I've known people who use nicknames frequently, so you may not be able to judge based on something like a nickname. You'll need more pieces before you can complete the puzzle.

Could mean she likes you, could mean she's comfortable with you but doesn't feel romantic feelings towards you, could mean she's just too lazy to say your full name.

Don't read into such small things.

It seems that she finds you cute. Yes, usually when a person gives you nickname, it's a sign of interest.
