On our third date, the guy (M29) I’m (F25) seeing (and we really like each other) called me by my name and “baby” and “my love” while we were kissing, I also called him “sweetheart” and he told me to call him this way.

I know people say all kinds of things in the moment, but I’m curious, guys, is this something you say to any girl you’re kissing, or does it usually mean there are deeper feelings involved? (I don’t mean love at this stage of course). In my case - yes I see him in this affectionate way.

For context, we genuinely have a strong connection, we stay in touch, keep getting to know each other, and he shows care in small, thoughtful ways too. But we haven’t talked about the relationship yet.

How would you interpret this?
