Using pet names is a difficult thing for some people. For some, it almost feels
like they are making

a commitment by using anything other than their partners
first name. For others, they just feel too reserved to use an affectionate term.
If this describes you, dont feel like you are the only one, because others are
uncomfortable with this form of intimacy as well. For some, using a pet name
flows easily, and for others, it takes a little practice.
Its always easier to practice over the phone if you are the slightest bit
uncomfortable. All you have to do is answer the phone, and when you hear your
partners voice, without hesitation, say, Hi there, handsome/ beautiful!
Then take a deep breath and know that the next time will be
easier. You can bet your partner, on the other end, will be smiling from ear to ear.
Shell feel so special just because you called her something special.
It works every time; test it out for yourself.
