its like the posh way of saying-- darling, you look mighty dashing

Some guys call a lot of girls babe, especially if they're the flirty type, but if he's never called you that before then I guess it might mean he likes you.

I have no problem with a boyfriend calling me babe...or with me calling them babe...when I think about it it's a bit chavvy and generally cringeworthy but it's just a term of endearment. I really hate darling on the other hand, I find it patronising and urgggh. But that is almost definitely because it's what my dad always calls me.

Dont take it as too much, he could just be hangning around people who use it alot, like you know how some phrases become epidemic eg. "Chicken" on Big Brother, could just be that.

"babe" should be reserved for couples only. I hate when random people call me babe...I mean, why would you?!

cos they think your hot :biggrin:

seriously though its usually a term of endearment along with darling honey, sweetie, sweetheart, etc etc - most women usually hate at least one of them.

Of course it might not be complementary. One time good few years ago now myself and a few mates were in a club adn this rather unnattractive overwieght lady was makng eyes at one of us. he decided to go over there and started calling her a babe. Well she got very embarressed and smiley thinking she was well in there whilst Grant went on with this "ah you dont get it you are such a babe" Finally after letting her hang for awhile he finally ended it with "no your not getting it - have you not seen the film?"

We laughed our heads of she was considerably less impressed. It was cruel but hey we were young.

So OP he might think your hot or he might think you look like a pig or hes just using it as a term of endearment

I've only ever called a girl I'm in a relationship "babe", I'm quite surprised by how many girls don't like it, to me, it's just an affectionate nickname. I'd find using the girls name the whole time really formal, and kind of stilted, would not feel natural to me at all. I wouldn't say I ever use it as an excuse not to remember a girl's name.

I couldn't call a girlfriend "darling" though, to me it sounds very quaint and archaic. It also reminds me of those older films with aristocratic couples in, and the husband/male partner saying "Come Darling, let us change for dinner" or something! :s-smilie:

Oh younger naive me, now I am 5 years older I can appreciate the fact that 'babe' is just a word that comes out of a mouth in many forms and meanings,'be a babe and pass me that', 'you are such a babe', and using it as a general nickname for the majority of females in ones life,old or young, pretty or ugly! In short..don't overanalyze texts, it's a waste of time :smile:

Some people just use pet names once in a while. It doesn't mean anything. Unless he asks you out or text/calls, just assume it means nothing.

I don't like 'babe', I'm okay with 'baby' if it's coming from a guy I'm dating.

at healthy, I rely a lot on lean meats but I've been reading a lot lately about the link between diet and state of mind. In ancient times like in ayurved, holistic medicine and aristotle's view, the age old saying "you are what you eat" still holds true.

And meat according to many of these schools of thought is linked to restlesness and anxiety and i've watched a youtube video talking about how meat negatively impacts gut flora and that there is a definitive connection between your gut and psychology (hence the term 'gut feeling').

So I want to ditch the meat, and eat a purer diet for a trial period of 3 months. But I've always realied so much on meat and eggs that I don't really know where to begin.

Are there any vegetarians out there who can perhaps give me a few pointers.www.brautundabendkleider.com

And before anyone starts, this isn't some debate I want to start about veg vs non-veg. Or "i eat meat and I feel perfectly fine." IF you do good for you, not everyone reacts the same way to things (think food allergies) this is just a thread I wabrautundabendkleider.com
