My boyfriend calls me toots sometimes-what does he want me to call him?

[Anonymous]

I know I could ask him, but I want to surprise him and have him like what I call him. :) Is there something old-fashioned (the male equivalent of 'toots' that I could call him?) I have thought of 'handsome' before, but it seems a little formal!

Thanks!!!

Reverse it, call him "stoot". If nothing else it'll shake him up. Then he'll probably tell you what he prefers, but it's really now about what YOU like to call him. Otherwise all guys would insist on being called He-Man.

Really? Because I could defy call him 'He-Man!' lol today I called him TAT-as in, tit for tat, and he didn't even say anything lol!

[BrigadierGeneralLove]

Of course! He's a guy... it takes a couple dozen times to sink in. I like TAT tho, especially if he sports a lotta ink :)

lol so u think he liked it? Thank you Brigadier!!

honestly it could be anything, toots is just another way of saying babe or any of those other pet names. Though if you want a name that matches the era toots is from try anything from the 1920s

Seems weird to have someone other than you think of something. I'm sure something in your mind will come and it will seem right.
