I lovem 
But I'm a sappy hopeless romantic... it doesn't take much to make me feel special

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.

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.

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.

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