Search Results: stuck with a nick name

In a relationship (even the early stages of 'seeing someone') we like to create intimacy. Often this includes pet names or nick names. Let's help each other out and explore this area a little.

Do you used their actual name? If so, In certain circumstances? During a serious conversation?

If not, do you use a personalised pet name (with a story you two share that goes behind it)?

Or, do you use a standard pet name (i.e. sweetie, honey, babe, stud, handsome, sexy, etc)?

Do you use one or a few?

Do you consider pet names to be PDA? To what extent?

Do you only use it private (or rarely in public)?

Or, do you use it whenever (unless in a very inappropriate situation - i.e. bunnykins in front of his boss)?

What is/are the pet name(s)? Story behind it (if applicable)?

Personally, I prefer a personalised pet name. Makes the experience more private and I tend to stick to one pet name. For example, if the first type of m&m my man and I shared was peanut butter, I'd pet name him peanut. I tend to use his formal name as a sign of respect and in public as I consider petnames to be extremely PDA, so I keep it private.

Would be great to hear your responses :) xxx

Thank you.
