Can i call a guy darling

It may not carry a great deal of weight for him. I like GreenWhiteBlue's idea of using a pet name from your own language when speaking to him. I think that would be sweet and unique.

I have to disagree with suzi, and agree with ewhite: "Cowboy" like B u cko , or A c e is commonly used in the US as a less-than-flattering term of address, and as a result it is not something I would think of as being particularly affectionate.

This is particuarly true if he really is a cowboy; it would be a lot like addressing a plumber as "Plumber. I therefore think that if one is going to consider whether to use a term to address an American, than the perspective of Americans on the question should carry more weight.

I agree with GWB - especially since we've inherited a saying "ride 'em cowboy" that originally referred to staying on the back of a bucking critter that was doing its best to fling the rider off. Nowadays, however, it also has acquired something of a metaphorical sexual connotation. I suggest you choose something else.

Ah, the Atlantic divide. It is true we don't really have cowboy as a job over here, if cowboy really wont work I think the idea of using a German word is the best option for you! As a side note, it's "What do you call your boyfriend?

I am a 25 year old woman, and I call my boyfriend 'baby' or 'hun' I would not recommend 'dear', it sounds too old fashioned. And absolutely not on the 'cowboy' or 'stud' idea, to me they have sexual connotations that shouldn't really be used in public.. Hope that helped.

If he calls you "sweetheart" go ahead and call him that too. Here are some common nicknames. You may feel like this one is so ordinary. Well, that might be true, but it's still magical. Have you ever wondered why a guy uses this one? Because babies are so precious and deserving of TLC, you should be honored by this nickname. In a relationship, "darling" is usually flattering. If you're hanging out with a great guy but aren't yet formally together, this nickname signifies that you might as well be a couple.

He might have already pushed his thinking into girlfriend mode with a lot of presumable measures. Figure out what you want and act accordingly. Also be careful that he's not using the word sarcastically. This is a guy's way of hitting on you! If a guy wants things to be a little more romantic, he'll start calling you "honey" as a means to show you how he feels. Usually, when you are in a long term relationship, guys will switch from this pet name to another on the list.

Be careful if he calls you "honey" more often than your name -- you want to make sure he hasn't forgotten it! They are telling you that you are the person they think of b efore a nyone e lse. A guy calls you "sweetie" when texting if he has feelings for you. You call someone darling if you love them or like them very much. Some people use darling to describe someone or something that they love or like very much. Yes its pretty normal. Its just an affectionate word used to address someone you like.

It means beloved but beloved can be anyone. It may also be just to express the affection, friendship, kindness.

The word is not only for the lovers to call but also for the persons whom we care. Of course you can.
