I have this guy friend who started calling me babygirl and has been calling me this since then. Not quite sure how to react to this. Is it a bad thing to be called babygirl? What does it meann?? I'm hella curious and confused.
This guy is very supportive. I tell him stuff about my life, hobbies and dreams. He basically pushes to do the things I want to do. He likes to uhhh rub his face on my shoulder. Sometimes, he just stares at me while doing this. I feel like his gaze can see right through my soul. It feels weird. He's been this for quite a while. He likes to poke my armpits, waist, tummy, and cheeks. He takes my hand randomly and plays with it or places it on his back so I could give him a back massage. He loves massages bc he always has back pain. Lol. He likes to pull my hair sometimes. He blows into my ears. Plays with my eyelashes. Sometimes he lightly touches my lower back and neck. He keeps telling me I'm beautiful or cute which I just brush off cuz I think isnt serious about that. He always says he wants a girlfriend. He said he dated a lot of girls before but none of them became his girlfriend. He's generally friendly and is very clingy and touchy to everyone though bc he grew up in a very clingy family. And maybe he's a flirt too. Well, he did say he was. And that's his biggest struggle bc he flirts with girls he thinks are interested in him and like I said he never commits to them cuz he says he doesn't like shallow relationships. He says he's an easy boy. And he wants to stop being one cuz he really wants to be in a serious relationship. But I honestly think he isn't ready to be in one yet. Anywho that wasn't the point of this thread. I was just curious what it means to be called babygirl? Cuz yeah he calls me that.
Just a little background abt me. Well, to be honest, I'm not that much of an experienced girl. I'm quite reserved. Quiet. Only loud when I'm really comfortable with a person. Introvert. I just recently came out of my shell and started mingling with people and I met him at a prayer meeting a couple of months ago and we have been friends since then. Our friendship started off pretty awkward. But now, I am more comfortable with him. And I'm more open and clingy now.

I used to fall heavy for this stuff in my younger years but lately I feel if a guy calls me that he's just running game and not being real with me.... am I right or wrong???

This question for the men. Why do guys call girls babe if they are not dating them or exclusively with them. I’ve noticed when I’m talking to a guy after a few days or weeks that they start calling me babe. I find it strange. I tell the guy you aren’t with me why you saying that. If anyone has input please feel free to say. I know this might be a stupid question but I’m just curious
I think it depends on the relationship.
If there's some form of intimacy, sexual or emotional - then it could be a term of endearment.
If your stictly platonic, it could be a signifier they're interested or they're rude lol.
Some people choose to give pet names out of a form of disrespect, especially work collegues.

I'm a girl, but I've never had a bf that did this. I was listening to Young God by Halsey and it made me think of this question. IDK, I think it would feel kinda condescending.
