LoverOfDance Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I have this friend and he says my name A LOT. A lot of people like my name but I have never had anyone call my name and play with my name as often as he does. He does it so often, I don't even know what to say to him. He even made a song out of it, lol. He gives other people pet names and of course calls them by their names as well but not nearly as often as he says mine. One day, he was playing with my name as usual so I decided to look him right in the eye. He quickly looked away and stopped. I just smiled and kept walking. There has never been a day that I have seen him that he hasn't said my name at least 10 times or more. What does this mean? Why does he keep doing that? *confused face* Link to post Share on other sites

sid3 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 He's just goofy? Link to post Share on other sites
Author LoverOfDance Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yeah, and he's very random about it too. It feels like he's trying to get my attention but when he gets it, he doesn't know what to do with it. I've never had anyone call my name as often as he does. I feel like he probably doesn't know how to talk to me so he just plays with my name instead. Guys - what do you think? Link to post Share on other sites

I think he's a bit intimidated by you, and probably women in general. Link to post Share on other sites
Author LoverOfDance Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 I think he's a bit intimidated by you, and probably women in general. Interesting. I think you're right. I don't know why he would find me intimidating though. I talk a lot and I think I'm quite easy going and not difficult to talk to at all. As for being intimidated by women in general, I don't think so. He's a big flirt. Probably one of the biggest flirts I've ever seen in my life, lol. I don't understand why he talks to every girl in the room but when it comes to me, he finds it easier to play with my name instead. Link to post Share on other sites
mortensorchid Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I think he's just acting silly. This is rather strange based on the description. Link to post Share on other sites
Author LoverOfDance Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 I think he's just acting silly. This is rather strange based on the description. Yup, he's definitely also trying to be silly for sure. That's why I hardly pay him any attention when he does it - because I know he doesn't actually have anything to say. I would say, he does it because he probably just really likes my name but I think it's also because he doesn't know what to say to me. Link to post Share on other sites

Why does he keep doing that? *confused face* Sounds to me like he has a name fetish. But this is the first time I've heard of a guy with a name fetish, usually women have them. Especially women who have kids. The sound of some dorky name turns them on so much, they give that name to their kid... and the poor kid wishes he was dead the 2nd day of kindergarten.

Star Gazer Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Using someone's name often in conversation is a well-known manipulation tactic, with an outcome similar to mirroring. Link to post Share on other sites
Author LoverOfDance Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think he likes you I thought someone might say that, lol. What does calling my name constantly at random moments have to do with attraction though? Do you mind explaining? Link to post Share on other sites
belocchoc129 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I thought someone might say that, lol. What does calling my name constantly at random moments have to do with attraction though? Do you mind explaining? because he keeps thinking about you in his head and probably find it too scared to tell you. And as a way to let the feeling flow, he triggers a need to say your name a lot of times. I think it's natural that you call someone's name a lot when talking to them if you like them and think about them a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
Imajerk17 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Can't you just ask him? Or would that take all the fun out of wondering? Link to post Share on other sites
Author LoverOfDance Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Can't you just ask him? Or would that take all the fun out of wondering? I would but I think he would probably say it's because he likes my name. If it's because he's always thinking about me, I don't think he would say it. He can't even hold a conversation with me, I doubt he will have the guts to tell me if he was attracted. Link to post Share on other sites

StrangeBehaviors Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 He's joking, picking, playing with you some. Like pulling your ponytail on the playground. You like it? If he doesn't take it further then he is just a wuss. Link to post Share on other sites

Do you mind explaining? Because some people act stupid when they like someone . Tell me , you know its not only about your name , you know that theres is something more there . Its hard to know what he is thinking , sometimes when you dont have that many expecience with relationship . When i was around 19 , i loved to flirt with the girls , but when i liked someone i would act a bit stupid , thats why im saying that maybe , he likes you Link to post Share on other sites
