Affectionate nicknames

The more cheerful and affectionate words appear in the speech of lovers, the more sincere and deeper their relationship becomes. When love leaves a relationship, then the partners also forget about what they once called each other. If the relationship turns into a formality, then one formal nickname remains in the couple’s vocabulary, for example, fish. Creativity ends, but if it continues, this indicates that the relationship continues to develop.
Let's talk a little about sounds.
The sound “Ш” in a nickname can be found quite often, because it attracts attention. Psychologists call this effect of hissing sounds on the psyche the white noise effect. This sound completely captures the listener's attention, distracting him from everything else. For example, when a person demands silence, he says “sh-sh-sh.”

The “L” sound in a nickname is the most common sound. With its help, a person expresses a high degree of emotionality. A person in a good mood will hum “la-la-la” or may say “bl-lin” when emotions come out. Whether good or bad emotions burst out depends on the intonation.
The “K” sound is also quite common in nicknames. It can be found in the diminutive words we use to call our loved ones: sweetheart, fish, bunny, etc. With its help, the idea of simplicity, intimacy and lightness is expressed.

The sound “F”, present in the nickname, helps to express a violent reaction. As a rule, words with this sound indicate serious dissatisfaction (for example, “ugh!”). This sound is three times less likely to be found in affectionate nicknames than in ordinary speech.
The "X" sound is also very rare in nicknames. When in words, it speaks of sudden excitement and excitement.
It is important to note that when we choose an affectionate nickname for a loved one, we do it without thinking. With the help of our subconscious, we choose exactly those words whose sound most accurately reflects our desires and feelings.
When a guy says dear to a girl
Quite a long time ago, months before the breakup, and maybe even a year, my beloved began to say that her attitude towards me is expressed by the word “dear,” but this does not mean that she loves me. For her, a relative meant someone close to her, someone of great importance in her life, someone whom she cares about and cares about, someone whose affairs concern her. But there was no fire, no tearing feelings, no trembling in the legs, she simply said, “You are my dear and I’m used to you.” It’s not that I was offended, but I also started telling her, “I’m used to you” instead of “I love you.” At first she laughed, but when I began to correct her words and began to ask her not to say “I love you,” but to say “I’m used to you,” she immediately stopped doing this and said, what a habit, I love you, can’t you see?
But even now I am tormented by a misunderstanding of what she wanted to say to her “relatives.” For me, dear is synonymous with beloved. And even if there is no trembling, fire and every minute pain in my heart, I need it every second. But for her, it seems, native = ordinary.
Maternal care is in a woman’s blood, she takes care of you, sees how you suffer and shows maternal love. So many women live with alcoholics, because if they leave him poor, he will disappear, he will become completely drunk. You are certainly not an alcoholic, but Kafka harmed you. It seems to me that you are trying to make a tragedy out of love, according to the principle “here’s one more tragedy and then there will be a happy ending,” but then the following circumstances arise and the tragedy has been repeated for many years. You live in tragedy and cannot imagine life without it.
Well, if I was wrong, but the situation is set in motion by time and real life versus tragedies, people want to be happy and go for it.
Bern has a book: “Games People Play”, I don’t remember whether there is a game of tragedy in it or not, but I think this is your case. It would be nice if I thought so.

I remember very well how she loved me “not like a man,” only a month passed. Everyone would like such dislike.
Everything, absolutely everything is possible, but just 2 months ago she gave me things for our new apartment (she brought it to him from hers and never unpacked it, she hasn’t even moved winter things yet) and she chose it together with me, on the Internet , Certainly. 2 months ago she was going to come to me for good to NG and we planned to stay together all summer. During this time, only one thing happened - the illness and surgery of my father, who, thank the Lord, is now recovering. Of course, my mood, my affairs, my plans, and my money arrangements have undergone huge changes because of this. But I can't believe she broke up with me for the same reason
It’s funny, there is a book by Lyudmila Ulitskaya “Sincerely yours Shurik”. And she has just these words about her relatives:

Zoo nicknames
Such nicknames are quite common. Just look at the word “doves”, which is used to describe a couple in love. Often people even compete in zoology, sorting through all the animals, from bunnies with fish to hippos and piglets.
Here, of course, there is an endearment factor, since the animals and birds are mostly fluffy and cute. However, the emotion here is not entirely simple, because the animal world can be quite unpredictable and dangerous: for example, a tiger cub can show its teeth, and a bird can fly out of its cage.

Nicknames from the category of “movable property”

Do you think there is a difference between the phrases: “you are my beauty” and “you are beautiful”? Of course have. The first option sounds deeper and more soulful, but there is a slight hint of ownership. Therefore, it is not at all impossible that one fine day a person who considers you “one of his own” will, with all sternness in his voice, inquire about what you did from 15.15 to 15.45.
Nicknames from the category “celestial bodies”
There is no diversity here, just suns and stars. What associations do they evoke? Light and warmth. If a loved one calls you that, it means that he feels good and comfortable with you. But there is one “but”. The luminaries are located quite far from our planet, therefore adoration on his part will most likely be somewhat contemplative and distant. It is difficult to wait for decisive action from such a person.
Now let's decipher the meaning of each specific nickname. You shouldn’t take the meanings too seriously, just take note and don’t forget that there is a grain of humor in every joke.

An objective assessment of a man who has known him for a long time
Some time after the start of a relationship, the partner’s behavior changes. He is no longer as romantic and emotional as in the first days of meeting him. The gentleman behaves more reservedly, devotes more time to personal matters, and says fewer compliments to the lady. It seems to the girl that the love has passed, the desire to see each other often has disappeared, there is no more passion.
When a relationship with a partner has been going on for a long time, you want to determine whether he still has feelings. If he still abandons his plans in favor of the girl, shares her interests with her, tolerates whims and forgives a lot, it means that he is still not indifferent to his chosen one.
A man in love, even someone he has known for a long time, will still help his beloved and solve her problems. He remembers her mother's date of birth, the name of her cat, her favorite writer or book, and her other interests and hobbies. Such a partner is not afraid to start conversations about family and children, even starting a conversation about them himself.
Advice from psychologists
Psychologists are sure that it is most pleasant for a person to hear his own name when addressed to him. But often partners avoid this and prefer to call each other by nicknames.
Here are the most common reasons why a man doesn’t call his lady by her name:
- copies the behavior of parents;
- bad experience;
- complex name;
- fear of mixing up names.
If in a guy’s family the father called his mother “my dear,” then it is likely that he himself will address his passion that way. Perhaps it was not customary for them to address each other by name.
Past relationships may have left unpleasant impressions. If a guy's ex-girlfriend caused him a lot of problems and disappointments, his psychological defenses are triggered. He doesn't want to say her name out loud, so he replaces it with a loving nickname.
When a girl's name is difficult to pronounce, the guy is afraid of offending her by pronouncing the name incorrectly. It also happens that on first dates it is difficult to remember a complex name. Then love nicknames also come to the rescue.
If a guy likes two girls, but is having trouble deciding who to choose, he won't call them by name. He'd rather give them loving nicknames. This way he will protect himself from getting names mixed up.
Thus, the reasons for calling your significant other by love nicknames instead of names may be different. A man’s sincere love can still be distinguished by certain signs.
