In today’s social landscape, the term ‘bae’ has found its way into our everyday vocabulary. Short for ‘before anyone else’, it’s a term of endearment that signifies affection or closeness to someone special in your life. However, using this term comes with its own set of rules. In this article, we’ll explore the do’s and don’ts of calling someone your bae to ensure you use it in the right context and keep those relationships healthy.
Do: Use It with Someone You’re Close To
The first rule of thumb is to ensure that you’re using the term ‘bae’ with someone who is significant to you. This could be a romantic partner, a close friend, or someone you have strong feelings for. The intimacy implied by the word means it should only be used in contexts where there is mutual affection and understanding.
Don’t: Overuse It
While ‘bae’ can be a cute nickname, overusing it can dilute its meaning. If you call everyone in your circle ‘bae’, it might lose its special touch and come across as insincere. Reserve it for those who truly matter to you to maintain its significance.
Do: Consider Their Feelings
Before labeling someone as your bae, consider whether they are comfortable with such terms of endearment. Some people may find nicknames like ‘bae’ too forward or intimate at certain stages of a relationship. Always gauge their reaction before proceeding.
Don’t: Use It Publicly Without Permission
Using affectionate terms like ‘bae’ in front of others without consent can make some people uncomfortable—especially if you’re not sure how they feel about being labeled publicly. It’s always best practice to discuss how both parties feel about such terms before using them around friends or family.
Do: Have Fun With It.
Ultimately, calling someone your bae should be fun and light-hearted. Feel free to incorporate playfulness into your relationship by sharing inside jokes related to the term or creating unique variations that reflect your bond with each other.
In conclusion, while calling someone ‘bae’ can add an affectionate flair to your interactions, it’s important that it’s done thoughtfully and respectfully. By following these do’s and don’ts, you can express love or fondness without crossing any boundaries.
