Do You like being called hun,Babe,Love etc etc?

BigBrownBear · 13-02-2014 07:30PM

I think its just a term of affection............and I like affection

Galwayguy35 · 13-02-2014 07:30PM

I've been called hun, honey, babe and baby by various women I dated, don't mind any of them except hun, that term drives me nuts.

I love going into Dublin when I'm home and being called, "Love" by auld Dubs. So kind and friendly.

I don't think I'd even notice if someone used any of the rest.

I'm an amazing, capable adult woman, only ever refer to me with monikers that indicate complete respect.

It's good to see that lyrics even rejected by Beyonce for being too cringe are finding use somewhere.

If you're joking though, I'll thank your post presently.

Pretty much everyone who crosses our threshold is affectionately addressed as Mutton-Head.

Anyone who uses a pet name with you is comfortable in your company and that's the important thing.

i'm an awful whoor for the pet names

my boyfriend has started using them too, its infectious!

LynnGrace · 13-02-2014 09:43PM

Depends on context. I used to work with someone who called everyone 'pet' in the most insincere way possible, because she was the most insincere person I ever came across. There is a guy who sometimes answers the phone on the local taxi company who keeps calling me love etc, I feel like saying you may love me, I don't love you.
In a shop, one day, a girl who was young enough to be my daughter kept addressing me as 'pet' Ugh. I said 'thanks pet', as I was leaving.

cloud493 · 13-02-2014 09:45PM

Most people call me Lurch, lurkio, my surname, or the British guy.

A lot of women in the 30+ age category say "love", it's incredibly common.

Not 30 plus, I am 30 plus and I wouldn't call someone 'love' in a million years. 50 plus, maybe, but why would you ever call anyone 'love', unless you don't know/can't remember their names?

scarymoon1 · 14-02-2014 12:49AM

I heard my housemates gf call him "baby" and it was just cringe !! The same housemate called me "pet " and I cringed again!!! Just call me by my real name

somefeen · 14-02-2014 01:26AM

I call my OH love.
Unfortunately I sound like how my Dad speaks to my mother when I do it but I can't help it, it just came out one day and I can't stop.

Luckily I usually use it in a moaning context like

"Ah love would ya g'way we have enough ****ing coat hangers"

"Here, Love, I'm not driving all the way back there for 50p"

Micky Dolenz · 14-02-2014 09:36AM

No recession around your gaff. I'd kill a man for a sniff of a 50p

Sadderday · 14-02-2014 09:42AM

my OH calls me love, my dad calls my mother love... I think that old school pet name is so sweet

I don't like any pet name at all. Hun is the worst. I was seeing this guy for a while and we were texting one night, in the space of an hour he had already called me hun 32 times. Too much. Managers in work are really fond of hun. But my store manager overheard me complaining about it so she now calls me lovey which I don't mind.

bear1 · 14-02-2014 10:29AM

Call me what she wants if I can get a shag out of it

Penny Tration · 14-02-2014 10:32AM

My bf calls me babe, hun, gorgeous, missus, lovely, kitten and love.

I absolutely crack up at kitten, and he'll call me 'baby' on occasion to piss me off because I hate that, too.

I don't mind any of the others, I think they're cute.

Oh, he occasionally calls me 'dickbutt' too, when he wants to annoy me.

Milly33 · 14-02-2014 10:34AM

It would do my nut in if it was a serious thing. I would nearly prefer to be called gee bag that honey or baby.. Id so know something was up if he started calling me that

Barry White wouldn't have much chance with many of ye.

You may be misreading his coded request.

14-02-2014 10:38AM

No I don't like it, they are cringe worthy, having said that my husband a pet name for me that is a corruption/ miss pronunciation of an Irish word, I find that endearing.
