One of le best ways to show the man in your life affection, love, and interest is by giving him an endearing nickname. And TBH, it may come pretty naturally when things start escalating romantically (or sexually), regardless of whether he’s the one or just someone to get to know better.
That’s because nicknames send the message that, yes, this person is special. Which is why it’s even more important to choose a nickname that is actually cute and works for you and your man’s relationship (or situationship, as the case may be).
