So lately I have been trying to chat more again with women. well at least to have someone to talk to. But a couple of them very soon they called me babe, and one said she loved me. I am sure they are just teasing me.. but I not used to anyone calling me babe... my female friends called me man.. or bro.. and it makes me angry lol they should be calling me babe.. these new women seem to know to really treat a man! but still i find it strange they say babe so soon

The word babe is simply a word used to express affection within a personal relationship. Couples often use words of affection in one to one conversations rather than calling you by name.

The only reason you might eventually be offended is if you learn your partner simply does not remember your name and uses those words instead, especially if you learn they are using the same word for each person in multiple relationships at the same time. In such cases, it is a defense move rather than any indication of affection. They might be using an affection word in practice just so they won't goof at the wrong time later.

Some people will call out the name of their partner during intimate times. If they always use a specific word of affection when they refer to you, they would be less likely to call out the wrong name at the wrong time. You might not catch on as fast if they always say "OH, BABE". However if your name is Joe and they accidentally call out "OH JOHN" at the wrong time, the jig is up.

As far as I'm Babe is just a common name that can be addressed to anyone. A man can be called babe and so does a woman too. It really makes me laugh when some people attach more meaning to an ordinary word.

I have seen a relationship where a lady started having issues with his boyfriend because she read his chat and saw where another lazy addressed his guy as babe. People really need to grow up.

What if they call them baby or love? I think it's not normal to just call anyone that. But then again yes some people do.. i mean hun is one thing.. baby or babe is different

Some women are just sweet sometimes and I think they are just trying to be friendly while some when they call you babe or said I love you I think they are just trying to scam you or I could be wrong. Who knows if one of them could be the other half of the puzzle of one's heart.

It could be their way of talking but they can also have second intentions using it. If the relationship you have with them is only online and you aren't close friends then it makes no sense.

[simplyfred]

All I know is that most stuff happening online must not be treated or taken seriously...

I dislike being called "babe" period. I do not know why, I just don't.

People around here when saying "babe" are simply attempting to be cool.

[junglegal]

Itsba sure signal that they like you.i Feel babe is a tease word. A female friend won't call you babe just for the fun of it. It's really up to you on how you move on with that. The ball is on your Court. If you like then make a move, if not they will.

As you know that where there is smoke there must be fire, a girl who calls you 'babe' know that they like you.
There are many ways that girls can express love to their crashers. This can be one of the signs that girls use to alert men to that they can seduce them

It seems that many women use the phrase "babe" to be flirtatious with guys. This is how I perceive it. To be named such a sweet name would make me feel awkward.

When a lady calls you babe, there is no doubt that she is already romantically involved with you.

[ragdollie]

It's common (at least from what I've seen with other girls my age) to use babe in a more friendly way nowadays. Similar to calling a friend sweetie or "hon". It could be romantic or friendly, its kind of hard to say. I feel like using babe in a romantic sense is more normal when you're already dating though? I think I'd find it odd if I guy I wasn't dating yet called me babe.

I would only use 'babe' when talking to a female friend. It just feels weird to call my partner or another man that.

I have not had a man in my life in over 15 years, right? Guess what? This evening a gentleman told me that my smile is refreshing! He made my day! I cannot even remember when I last had a compliment. I am even missing teeth due to having them all pulled. My roommate is not very happy and I don't care. If I have to be happy for her, why can't she be happy for myself? I would like to ask him over for lunch or dinner in the future, what do you think?

This is very common in my country. It is a pet name to show some affection.

Lol be careful though, I might be wrong but in most cases, this is where the billing starts.

I don't know the insecurity that modern boys carry around bi. I call people babe and I don't bill them. I mean guys.

Yes, please explain what you mean, Eldavis.

It's a pet name here too. I just wouldn't personally use it when talking to a man.
