 I don't think its a flirty thing, maybe if she only uses affectionate nicknames like that with him - but all of my female friends call me (and others) hun, sweetie, babe and I assure you they are not trying to flirt with me!

Some people would use affectionate names such as hun in a way of flirting, but others would use it with complete innocence. I guess what you have to do look at other things, I mean does she only call him that? does she use such names towards you? How would you describe the rest of your relationship with her? Does she give you 100% respect? Is she sensitive to your feelings?

 Hi there,
I don't think you should read too much into it. I call all my friends "sweetness", "darling", "doll"... and a whole long list of other nicknames. I think your friend is just being considerate and helpful towards your friend. I don't think you have ANYTHING to worry about.
Good luck, sweetness!
xx India

 I note you are from Canada. Is your girlfriend from the maritme provinces?In Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island this is a standard greeting for everyone...so I would not read too much into it.

 Hi,
The partner of one of my best mates call's me hun ( and everyone for that matter ). I think babyduck's got the best idea, does she call anyone else hun?
Still I wouldnt read too much into it.

reader, anonymous, writes (7 February 2008): I call quite a few people hun or honey, but I don't find it flirting. Yeah, it's a friendly name to call people, and sometimes my boyfriend gets a little bothered, but I really don't mean to flirt at all. It's just friendly, and nice, but I wouldn't class it as flirting. And also, if he's your friend, she's probably just trying to get along with your friends to get closer to you.

 Defiantly not. Everybody is different but hun is far too generic to be considered flirting; to me it expresses a kind of friendly intimacy, nothing more. It sounds like this friend is in something of a situation so shes probably just trying to comfort him. I wouldn't read too much into it at all. Hope that helps.
