But the guy I've been dating for a little while has suddenly stopped calling me "sexy" and now calls me "baby" exclusively. We haven't had sex yet, but I can't help but wonder if this is a sign that he now finds me less sexy. Am I overthinking things? What else could this mean? Reply to this Question |

 Code Warrior is probably right... we women like to over-analyze EVERYTHING... of course I do believe men are often more driven emotionally than they think...only difference is they don't know it. Its true, they definitely do not see any subtle emotional distinctions... that's what they need us for, lol!
Yes definitely do not plan the wedding over "Baby" as a pet name... just enjoy it. And when he changes your pet name to "Twinkle Toes"... I guess we better not conclude that he has a foot fetish... lol!

 You are ALL overthinking this. We just aren't that complicated. We don't have a master pet naming plan based on the level of emotion we are feeling! Don't plan the wedding yet and certainly don't plan the demise of your relationship. He still thinks your sexy and he does not think you are a baby!Listen to youselves - ALL OF YOU - you are giving men credit for subtle emotional distinctions?????? Come on. You know us better than that.He is probably calling you baby for no particular reason. Hey baby! Hey Sexy! Hey Sweetie! Hey Honey! Hey Beautiful! They all say the same thing - YOU ARE SPECIAL TO ME. Don't read anything more than that into it and for Pete's sake don't ask him about it. Sometimes we just get bored of one pet name and switch it up. If we knew that we were nearly twisting your head off in the process.....Come on ladies! We're MEN - not WOMEN. We just don't have that kind of emotional range. We fart at each other for Christ sake!

So, he is changing it up and letting you know that you are his! Guaranteed he still thinks of you as sexy, but now he also likes you enough to call you his "baby". Cute, I'd be flattered by that if I were you.

I think it means he now sees you as a "keeper"... baby brings up images of protectiveness, caretaking, love, nurturing and committment. (Assuming it is said affectionately and not derogatorily.)In the beginning he was likely seeing you primarily as a potential sexual partner. He may have also been trying to entice you to have sex with him, by appealing to your sexual side. It may have subconsciously been a test to see if you were a sex partner or a marriage partner.Obviously all speculation, lol. Ask him.If I am right, I don't think it means at all that he doesn't still find you sexy... just that you have been shifted from immediate sex to future sex.

The term baby, at least to me is more affectionate. He loves you and the pet name should mean more to you.
