Hi Diana!! x x I dont really mind if someone calls me by a pet name such as darling, honey, sweetie, babe hun etc.....but I know that such familiarity does bother some people. I dont particularly like being called dear tho....just choice lolol.... I tend to call peeps babe or hun and occasionally hen (but only in joke cos I think its a horrible term myself!) I guess it also depends how long you have 'known' someone.....I know that one time I went on a first date with someone he insisted on calling me babe and I didnt like that - cos he didnt know me and I certainly wasnt his babe....but if my pals call me a pet name they can call me wot they like really!! lolol (so long as its nice!) dont be offended if someone doesnt enjoy being called sweetie etc tho - its simply a personal choice. hope you're well babe (lol) Jilly x x |
