hi! sometimes i call people âbabeâ, âloveâ, or âbbyâ but i donât mean it in a romantic way, itâs just platonic. i do it to lots of people regardless of feelings. anyways, i get that it makes some people feel awkward or uncomfortable so i want to have a poll on whether or not youâre okay with it! please vote honestly and try to comment the reason why if itâs not too personal thank you.
iâm okay with it
i donât feel comfortable with it
it depends on the situation

this poll does show who voted btw !
& btw, i meant on forums/instagram with someone who isnât a troll to all those who will vote and who have voted
Iâm totally okay with it, as long as itâs not in a creepy way. Like,
âHey babe, youâre really hot. I wanna get to know youâ is going to make me flip and freak out. But just calling me babe or bby in a platonic affectionate way is fine.
You had this on your insta story too right?? Yeah I accidentally pressed for that⌠Oh well but yeah Iâm fine with it tbh I basically agree with what @_haruka said
Iâm cool with it, I have irl friends that I call "babe: âbbyâ âmy gfâ etc. It depends whether or not sheâs chill or nah and it also depends on the closeness .
Otherwise, I donât name my male friends since itâs weird and awkward
Also, I call them that in a friendly or humor way possibleâŚ
haha same, for me itâs just a thing i do. doesnât really mean anything but itâs just who i am and something i do tbh i like people calling me something like that if itâs not creepy lmao
same, but I mostly name my friends âbruhâ âfamâ âdudeâ because I donât like being too girly and they donât as well. So yeah, theyâre fine with it, they also call me that as well anyways Iâm going off topic, cOuGh Nobody getâs to call me any names if that stranger is not my friend, no sir.
It doesnât make me feel uncomfortable, itâs more of the fact that I would rather be called that by someone who loves me like my bf or smth (if I ever even get one rip) but yeah itâs not really uncomfortable for me i donât really care if people call me it, I would just rather be called something different by my friends
When I dated I was fine with the names, I myself was a master of making the most embarassing affectionate names lol no wonder he left me
My friends and my sisters and I just call each other endearring names all the time anyway, itâs how we communicate
If I donât know you though and you call me baby, itâs weird
My friends and I call each other that and talked about marrying each other lol. But that cause we are close enough to acknowledge that it wasnât serious and it was just fun and games. But if itâs a stranger or maybe someone I havenât been friends with for long⌠then Iâd be uncomfortable.
thank you.
tbh i like people calling me something like that if itâs not creepy lmao
