i'm from texas and to be called baby can be an everyday occurance here and it's no sign of disrespect either. but my favorite endearment is being called sugar. it just make me feel so warm and mushy inside.
well I have several when they come from someone special to you they sound so nice!!! But being called someones sweetheart is the best one of all. I also like when they call me beautiful, babygurl,babydoll,or I had one boyfriend call me his "lil sweet thang". Used to make me smile cause I ain't lil.
I my favorite "endearment" words would be "babydoll & darrlingggg (with a TX twang :))", however; I haven't heard those words in so long, since the guy I dated broke off the relationship with me. Oh well, I hope to hear those words again, soon I hope. Have a great weekend. :)
I never used to have a favourite one until the last bloke I went out with used to call me "Babe" every so often. He had an incredibly sexy voice and it just made my knees go weak and wobbly!....I miss him.
I think someone has to earn the right to use a term of endearment - can't bear it when someone starts with the "hun", "babe" or whatever when they don't even know you.
Once they've earned it I don't have a particicular favourite - I guess what sounds right from one might not sound so good from another!
