Why does this man friendzone me but calls me baby, beautiful and sweetheart?

So you get attached. That way he can pull the strings with more certainty.

You are the reserve in case he cannot get the woman he wants most.Keeping you on layaway.

Looking for a friend with benefits.

He is attracted to you but doesn't respect you or want the responsibility of a relationship, like most men.

Sounds like he's looking for someone to satisfy his kink needs. And if you reply in kind, he'll know he's hooked you.

If he's an older guy like over 50ish it's just how they are my dad is 88 and calls any women love or sweetheart.... they mean no harm

He is condescending and talking to you the way people talk to 5 year olds. He thinks you are beneath him.

I think we'd hit it off, because I like food and drink also!

cause he likes you and thinks your hot...

Hes trying but not rushing it

He sees you as an alternative

Idk. My bf doesnt do any of that to me.

Maybe his wife objects....

He likes you?
