Is it weird that I've replayed this song three times in a row? I feel strange...
No, it's not weird at all.

I lovem :)
But I'm a sappy hopeless romantic... it doesn't take much to make me feel special :p
Oh, I hear ya.

That's my weakness: I always believe the best of the other person, so it doesn't take much to amuse me, but if I don't see the Lord in the brother's heart, then my heart remains completely sealed.

The fellow can amuse me all day long, but he ain't gettin' my heart until he gets off his royal horse to be a real cowboy! ...just saying. :D

I enjoy them, but prefer an inventive/unique/personal pet name to something generic like "honey" or "sweetie".

It depends how long I've known the person and how close we are. When I was little, my aunts and my mom would call me "bud" (short for Rosebud, cause I'm Rose). But I would get angry if other kids my age tried calling me that. Only my relatives could get away with it because they meant it affectionately. :)


Relationship-wise, I prefer nonstereotypical creative pet names. None of that "babe" or "sweetie" stuff, it's too cliche, lol.

I don't mind pet names, terms of endearment, or my name being shortened. I think it's sweet. :)

It depends.

I've met older women (a few men, but mainly women) who will call me and other youngin's "sweetie" or "hun". I'm okay with that. I don't really like being called those things by people younger than me. I also don't like when it's used condescendingly.

Within a romantic relationship, I'm...not a huge fan of the overly gushy ones. You can call me a nickname that means something to us, shorten my name, or something special in general, but I wouldn't like "princess" or any food related names at all, and "babe" is pushing it.

Not a fan of anything that sounds like something you would say to your toy poodle.

How about we start calling you bullets?

Actually, that would be the only way I'd ever own a toy poodle, if it was named bullets...

I don't mind them, as long as the names aren't that far out there. I get a kick out of coming up with some creative names.

You know, man, as...appropriate...as that might be for Red, since we know her, and know why someone would call her that...if I were her man, I could NEVER call her that pet-name in public, because anyone else who didn't know us would probably misunderstand, and think that I was using a pet-name that was degrading.

I realize that it probably doesn't speak too well of me that THAT'S where my mind went first, and my immediate reaction was, "Oh no. No no no no no." But then again, I do work with middle schoolers. >_<

Umm... I dunno. I guess it depends. I mean I see couples calling each other "babe" and "hun" and stuff like that, and i'd be fine with that. Some guys call me "dude," and i'm fine with that too. I usually call guys "bro" through text messages or on the internet; hopefully they don't mind it. :D

I guess all in all I don't mind it.

I don't know about "pet names"

But I have been called names several times in my life.. the only couple I can actually say on here is Ugly,Jerk,Good for Nothing,Stupid,Idiot. all the rest have a variation of things that would be covered in the 7 words you cant say on radio.

You may be on to something there. Sometimes, I hate political correctness.

Ahahaha.

Yeah. Apparently they even have their own genre (crunkcore), which they share with one other major band (which is absolutely positively horrid, and they curse a lot).

I do like that CD though.
