Deltas do you call your significant others "sweetheart" 'honey, etc.

[Creepy-Cyclops]

I used to date someone where we had a game where we'd come up with names like that for each other, anyway it got to some pretty ridiculous names, but it was tongue in cheek and made us laugh. Just had to be careful no one else heard us or they'd think we were insane, well, only be careful sometimes, the world'll find out sooner or later.

I like the idea of pet names, but currently have 0 w/ my current bf. He said usually girls call him things, but he says nothing in return. Weird.

In the past, guys have called me names, mainly feeler guys. Such as babe, baby, sweet pea, or silly made up names.

i'm ok w/ not using the fake names. I feel weird saying them. I agree w/ WorkaholicsAnon that I would be more likely to use them in writen form, like a text or something, but even then I feel a bit dumb.

Come to think of it, my SLI doesn't even say my name out loud very often at all. I've only heard him say it maybe a few times. I say his name a lot more just in conversation.

Only if I wanted to annoy my significant other

How can someone not like being called something lovingly? I can't get that through my head. It seems like some kind of phobia for affection.

Your guy needs to increase his woman-pleasing abilities by tending more to her/your emotions. That's too bad.

Some are not that into pleasing their partners in both the emotional and physical level, and it's usually not expected of men to tend to the emotional issues of women, which undoubtedly, is a major cause of problems in relationships imo.

good call

Very interesting. . . I'm seeing a clear divide between the EIIs and IEEs in regards to use of pet names!

Maybe this is a delta p vs delta j thing.

Also, to Lobo, I don't see it as a phobia of love/affection. I feel it as kind of a sincerity/condescension issue. I know it doesn't really make sense. . .must be a "p" thing. Though the SLI I knew did occasionally out of the blue call random acquaintances some funny unique nickname (like this one girl whose last name was "Straw", at one point he was like "hey strawberry, I'm going to sit next to you"). The thing was that he felt nothing for her except very superficial platonic acquaintance. there's more to that story but I won't go off on that tangent here; my relevant point has been made.

Hmmm, idk if there's necessarily a type distinction when it comes to this. If my SO calls me babe, sweetie, or whatever, I wouldn't be doubting the sincerity. I take all I can get in terms of affection . It would feel kind of strange to tell my SO not to express affection towards me like that.

[jessica129]

Ugh, no. My SO does it all the time though and I hurt a little inside each time he calls me Babe or something. I guess I should like it but I dont. What the hell...come to think of it...I've never even called him by his name. I never even had to. That's odd.

I have no phobia of affection. I love to please, pamper, and please, adore. And, give them lots of independence and freedom.
