It means you're really cute. It means you're so cute and pretty that he can't possibly find the right words to show you how much he wants to squeeze you and never let go.
oddly, the word does do something to the female brain. It releases a certain chemical in our brain — oxytocin. According to numerous catalogs discussing stress reducing techniques, being called “baby” has a positive effect on the female brain. It causes instant emotional stress relief. Of course, there aren’t enough scientific studies focused on the word “baby.” But there are reports on words’ ability to produce biological responses and studies on the parallel between happy couples and nicknames. According to Tech Knowledge, negative and positive words have biological effects on our bodies. We respond to them on “a visceral, autonomic level.” For example, when we hear the word “no,” our bodies start producing stress releasing chemicals. The opposite happens with words like “baby” and “yes.”
So trust me, it's a good thing! It means he likes you.

Depends on how he says it. If he says it like its nothing then he probably thinks he's a player with some game which he likely lacks in gratuitous amouns if that's how he's trying to game. If he says it softly or in a fun non cocky way he probably likes you. Also look for eye contact next time he tells you. If he doesn't make eye contact he probably just thinks he knows how to get girls, if he looks you in the eyes with a soft or deep look he probably likes you. The third scenario consists of him mentally role playing with you and he is secretly a pedophile LOL jk had to say that. XD
Depends if y'all just met and he's calling you baby it means nothing just that he wants to get it in but if y'all are creating a relationship and are getting serious when he says baby he says it as a means that you are his pretty simple really

It means literally the same thing as any other pet name :)
If someone is important to me, and I care about them, I pretty much always give them some kind of a nickname. People I don't have a close connection with get called their real name.
So, to take that concept further, someone I *really* care about (i. e., someone I'm dating) is going to get a special name that I don't use with anyone else, and often that is "baby" or "babe." It's my term of endearment - it indicates that they're special to me.
I can't speak for others - other people may have different reasons - but that's mine.Well to me it is just a phrase some guys use when they like the lady back and he knows you so he no doubt thought it was okay to say that to you, but to add more to this and it is a bit maybe off track.. but I joined this great site to give all of my honest opinions and here is my take for me.. if some lady was to walk past me and say hi baby.. it to me has two possible outcomes as to what I may think of it, one is that she knows I wear adult diapers and rubber pants daily.
Or she just likes me a lot.. both outcomes are sweet to me as I do not hide who I am or what I wear... it was just a bad hand I was dealt so I play it the best way I can.. and I can still do most all I could do before that fall took place including still going on dates with the ladies when I choose to.. wearing these garments has never ever been an issue and that makes me smile a lot.. take care nowMeh.
From experience that sounds like a horny guy, if he buys you flowers, drops by just to say hi, calls you or texts you first thing in the morning, and helps you with moving and carrying stuff and brings you out to dinner (rather than calling you over to his place), then he's into you.
Guys can be very good at getting laid by saying all the right things I mean, guys even discuss how to get girls in bed, it can be pretty heinous but they don't feel any remorse.
Haha.He may be a paedophile... orrrrr he thinks you're immature, childish y'know, so much so that you're basically an actual child to him, in which case hopefully he's not actually sexually attracted to you because peadophilia is bad mkay.
I think my first ex may have called me princess once or twice and then I wasn’t called that anymore (from my best (shitty) memory) and I was always called babe or baby.
When I'm talking to a girl I like, that I've been talking to for awhile I tend to call her "baby girl" I believe that adding the girl after baby makes it more playful and lowers the chance of her saying the "I'm not your baby" lol
I wouldn't necessarily read too much into it. I'll call a 50-60 something waitress "baby", "honey", or "sugar" all the time just to be friendly. But I never really mean anything special by it.
I don't think that word means anything in and of itself but if he's calling all the time I'd assume that he has a thing for you.
The only person I call everyday is my girlfriend.It means he likes you but isn't creative (or motivated) enough to come up with anything better than a generic pet name
Some guys are overly friendly and flirtatious, even if they aren't trying to be. It's a similair concept to girls who call everyone hun or sweetie.
Just cute name that has been used for many years... Baby, Babe, Honey, Sugar, Dumplin', Darling and more.
I don't know, I suppose that is just something that indicates that you are as cute as a baby, it's an endearment term, I think
if he does it always... then things wlll start become cheesy... and it might have da opposite effect actually :-/
i won't say it until i'm interested so yes i think he's flirting
also if he's of same age then , there's no way he's treating you like a baby
it's actually more like calling you bae ,I think the same reason some women call guys hun, love, dude, bro etc. It's just something some people do. May or may not mean anything.
I called an ex baby. And knee-high and fun-size. You can probably guess why.
My boyfriend calls me that all the time. It's just a term of endearment.
He forgot your name? lol ask him directly why he does that, especially if it bothers you
he probably just says it to all the girls he talks to lol. which is kinda dumb/cliche.
