That's so sweet. I admit, I'd pop a strange man in the mouth for a pet name, but I let Slamhot do it. I think it takes a little maturity to appreciate the things that are just kooky and endearing. I never thought I'd be all right with ANY guy calling me "babe" or "sweetie" or "dear." That's new; probably over the last year I started being really comfortable with it.
There's a fine line between romance and tacky. When you get that, then wow. Groping, making out in public? Ew. Deep passionate kiss in the middle of the street for no reason? I could tell you what that's like, but not in mixed company.
