Giving guys nicknames/pet names, flirting or not?

[youngrasshoper]

I give my guy friend a pet name. By calling him "blondie" is it considered flirting? Is it a sign of affection? No rude answers.

Yes.

No

I mean, I asked him what he thought of it. All he said was that he didn't mind.

Sometimes it is not what you say, but how you say it. If it's in a friendly poking fun tone, it's not flirting.

And what makes it flrting?

[tionik06]

A sexy tone in their voice, facial expressions and body language
