Cuddly nicknames, also known as pet names, are often used in a relationship to show intimacy. They are equally important in both a normal relationship and a long distance relationship.

Calling your partner a cheesy nickname may annoy other people, but don’t let it annoy you. Researchers say that it is a sign that the two of you have a very healthy and strong relationship.

Benefits

1. A higher level of intimacy – I think this is self explanatory. Calling pets instead of real names sounds closer to each other because they are names that only two of you can use to address each other. Create a sense of uniqueness.
2. Create a limit/exclusivity – That’s according to the book. How to improve your marriage without talking about it. It’s a way of identifying the relationship as exclusive because when the people around you hear your cheesy talk, they know you’re committed to each other. I know this kind of situation doesn’t really happen often in the context of a long-distance relationship, but the two of you can still feel the sense of exclusivity. Once you meet physically after a while, the feeling will explode and the two of you will be confined in your two person world. This was what happened to me. When I finally got a chance to meet my girlfriend after a long time, we couldn’t care less about what was going on around us. We focus on each other totally. This doesn’t really happen because of pet names, but pet names will definitely make it sweeter. The feeling of exclusivity is especially important when you are texting or calling your distant lover when the two of you are apart.
3. Warning signs – When two of you start calling each other using pet names, it’s an obvious sign when she suddenly calls you by your real name. It can mean two things. First of all, it’s because she’s mad at you about something. Second, he is joking and playing with you. The former is more likely to happen. You’ll have to figure it out from the tone and context yourself.

tips

1. about clumsiness – I know it’s a bit awkward and you may feel shy when you call your partner by the new nickname. Don’t worry, it’s perfectly normal and I’ve experienced it before too. It’s like the awkwardness when you want to say “I love you” the first few times. Just say it as normally as you can and continue for a few days. Both will get used to it. Afterwards, you’ll feel weird if you don’t use the nickname all of a sudden.
2. Address your lover at the beginning of every conversation – Bad example: “What are you doing?” Good example: “Baby, what are you doing?” Call him pet names before any treats make a big difference. It sounds much more intimate.
3. Respect each other – Remember to respect your lover at all times. Don’t call pets names you don’t like. The tip is that you can start calling your lover with some pet names that you like. It will generate more conversations about this. It is obvious from the conversation if he or she likes the pet’s name. If you feel like her partner doesn’t like you, just try something else next time. Another method is to ask your partner directly if you can use this pet name on him or her. Normally, your partner will like the names you give them. Single… Do not be shy!
