Name calling

[aussiegoat55]

Been going out with a chick for little over a month now, everything going well, had five dates so far, it's casual dating, nothing too serious. My question is, when's the appropiate time to call a woman 'babe' or any other nickname, but def. not a pet name like "smoochy"? Is this more of a long term relationship nickname? Thanks.

don't even sweat that, I call a woman babe sometimes as soon as I meet her. When you say it just make sure you don't sound scared or hesistant when you say it, what I do personally is act like ive known her for awhile and it just flows out naturally and congruent.

I never use a timeframe, and second the notion of sometimes doing it right off. You have to FULLY commit to it though.

Tip: practice saying the nickname by yourself first, like "hey baby, how are you?" You don't want your voice to quaver at all when you say whatever word it is, or it won't be natural. Also, maybe the first time you do it put it into your greeting to her rather than some random place in the middle of a conversation...that way it won't be hanging out there all awkward.
