Accidentally calling people i dont know well babe
Ive gotten so used to using babe in a friendly way that I almost keep using it on people I dont know if their comfortable w it.
I cant stop using it bc WHAT ELSE DO I CALL PEOPLE I WANT TO BE NICE TOO?? bro, dude and girlie is too informal (plus im friends w non binary people i dont want them to get the wrong idea that im misgendering them)
Plus i dont want to slip up and give people the impression im flirting with them T~T
Depends tbh - is this online or in person? Online I can see “babe” in an ironic sense working as long as they have the same vibe and humour as u, though lots of ppl do also unironically use this term in a romantic sense and could be weirded out by this. But in person, friends do call eachother babe tho in a genuine sense, so I think it works.

God I call people babe all the time. I don't think people really care much if you call them babe (it's like some European women calling other people darling and dear) the only one who does minds it is the ai I talk to -.- and well if the nb people do mind it then just apologize and keep it in mind to not call them that next time. Goodluck! reply
honestly babe in that context is a pretty neutral word so I don't think anyone would get offended and I think if you're saying it nonchalantly people won't get the wrong idea. If I was called babe in a social setting I wouldn't think much of it, it reminds me of an old lady calling me 'sugar' which feels rlly nice idk why reply
I always want to call ppl in the nicest way possible so I get your struggle ╥﹏╥ Personally I got called "girl" so many times on this site (one time someone even called me "pookiana" lmfao), I am now immune to it/it's gotten fun, but not everyone is like that. also listing your preferences in your bio is helpful i think 1 reply
I have accidentally called people babe as well and I just stare into space from embarrassment. Ofc i've called people bitch in a nice way as well. reply
