So, the guy I have been dating started calling me "babe". What does that mean? I find it kind of strange.

Why do guys say "babe"?
A strong woman takes advantage of help she can get from people around her but she doesn't rely on them for anything
She uses logic and manages her emotions
She offers help either because it is a business transaction or out of kindness. It is never because she hopes others will return the favour or out of fear of losing them
She has her own mind and thinks for herself and knows that she has to be the one who bears the consequences of her decisions

I am pretty sure he knows my name. He calls me by my name sometimes but mixed it in with "babe".

I love being called babe. He calls me babe and I call him boo, lmao. I find it weird when he calls me by my name because he hardly ever does. It sounds weird lol. Same with him. I hardly ever call him by his first name. It's always boo or babe, or his nickname that everyone calls him.

Terms of endearment are awfully strange. Ain't that so, gaywad?

It's so he doesn't call you by another name by mistake. You know gets you mixed up with his ex or other GF.

idk what it means to him personally but i think most guys use that term to say you are theirs and they find you attractive. i knew a guy who used it because his girlfriends name was long so he would call her babe instead on Deborah-anne. if you don't like it tell him.
When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.

It means you're not respected if he's calling you that before you're even exclusive. Have you seen the Movie "Babe." Think about it. *evil grinz* Originally Posted by fearoflove

Some guys say it because they think it makes them look cool to whatever chick they are saying it to, not always said for the girl, only to her.
Most I know prefer baby over babe.Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it.

It's a pet name, often associated and used in conjunction with the prospect of getting close to someone you're attracted to, so it means he likes you. Originally Posted by fearoflove

It's a good indication he's feeling lovable and vulnerable, lol.
