Babe, hun, or whatever? what do you call them?
What do you hate being called?
Or do you simply use their name?

No I usually just use peoples names.
..no, I don't say babe, hun etc and I also don't like to be called things like that either...to me it's like giving someone a generic type gift or something ..and I always like to address someone personally and by their name...the only things I do sometimes say are darling or sweetheart and (other than with to my OH and family)..it's because I actually can't think of a child's name for a second/sometimes my mind just goes blank ..but that isn't that often either...

I call girls chick sometimes as a term of affection. Men get called sweetie. And I often give people pet names, but only if I'm sure they are alright with it.

Babe is the one I cringe at most.
I do say darling to hubby a good bit, to the kids as well.
Of course we call family and friends love, was very common hereabouts as we were growing up.

Never use babe or hun and they make me stick my nails in the palm of my hand.
I like to call people by their name, but sometimes I use darling or mate... usually covering up the face I can't remember their name.

No I tend to use peoples names although my best friend is called Claire and I call her Bear and another good friend called Amanda gets Panda.....I'm such an annoying friend :laugh:
I answer to anything to be honest, as long as its not too offensive, it doesn't bother me too much

yes to like three people but not in a serious way
Only to annoy people.
If a man said it to me, in a serious manner, I'd cut his tongue out.
