The pet names you call a significant other mustn’t be taken lightly.

Using the wrong pet names could upset your significant other and put a strain on your relationship.

As much as you are excited about calling your significant other pet names, don’t do it too soon and don’t use the wrong pet names.

Pet names can be introduced into a relationship after about 3 months.

This has given you enough time to observe his temperament and learn more about his life.

Now that you are familiar with his temperament and lifestyle, you are in a much better position to gauge whether he is ready to be called pet names and what pet names to use.

A good pet name is a good representation of a facet of his personality.

Avoid using generic pet names that everyone uses.

Generic pet names such as babe, baby, honey, handsome, hottie, sweetie, etc., are far too generic.

It’s not that they are bad in and of themselves, but using them doesn’t separate him from what everyone else uses.

It doesn’t make him feel uniquely special.

He has heard his friends and family members use those generic pet names to address their significant others.

Truth be told, he has had prior significant others of his own who have used those generic pet names on him.

Again, it’s not that there is anything inherently bad with these generic pet names, it’s more so that these generic pet names don’t make him feel uniquely special, given that everyone uses them in their relationships.

Don’t you want to make your significant other feel uniquely special?

If you choose to start calling him pet names, make them memorable.

Pet names work best when you use a different pet name for different circumstances.

How is he in an intimate circumstance?

Does he have a tendency to use his mouth on you whenever he makes love to you, and loves doing it?

Call him a pet name that speaks to that, such as “sexy mouth.”

This is apropos, fitting what he loves doing in the bedroom whenever he makes love to you.

Whenever he hears you use that pet name as he is about to make love to you, it instantly gets him in the mood.

Giving him a variety of pet names based on the circumstance you are in with him, makes this so much more fun.

How does he behave in a circumstance where he is out and about with you in public?

Does he keep you close?

Is he protective?

Call him a pet name that speaks to this.

Since he loves being protective of you when he is out and about with you in public, call him “hero” or “knight.”

These are good pet names that fit his protective behavior, which in turn, makes him appreciate the fact that you are acknowledging how protective he is of you in public.

Use this approach to giving a significant other a good pet name.

Employ different pet names that fit the circumstance and his unique behavior in said circumstance.
