Exactly.. i can not read the word babe without going... god i love ranger
i never mind terms of endearment. I call my 16 and 10 year old cousins any of the following.. dear, sweetie, sweet heart, kido
the older one i frequently refer to as beast... he has always been very tall.
The young one i frequently refer to as baby, fiend and my little finish friend lol. i called him that so much that he called his cat fiend when he was two. And no, i am not being mean, he thinks the word fiend is hysterically funny. When he turned 10, i asked him if he wanted me to stop calling him baby and he said never that it was a reminder of how much i love him. For me, that is what it comes down to, its a way of saying i love you - that there is something special between you and me and that is reflected even in an address
When it comes to terms of endearment in romantic relationships, i love them, but i only love them when they mean something unique between me and that person. Like it would totally ruin it if Ranger (the most amazing character ever lol) called lulu babe..
What do women want? i think the as unique to every person.
I read this article recently, it was some girl explaining to guys what women really want in bed. i finished that article hopping no guy i ever sleep with read that... the only thing that article said was how to sleep with the author or the article such that she likes it.
Personally.... i want the world. I want someone who i mean the world to and who means the world to me. Trustworthy, highly intelligent, sense of humor, passionate, open minded, and a strong desire to change the world and be everything he can be. He has to be original and stand up for what he believes in. He appreciate me as i do him and show it. His arms have to feel like home and liking alot of sex is definitely a plus.
perhaps i am a bit demanding here,
but i know i need someone who can keep up with me mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and who's dreams are as big as mine. I wouldn't be happy with less and i doubt a couch potato would be happy with me.
