baby talk
I’ve come up with a new theory. Here it is: There are two types of girls. Those who use baby talk to their boyfriends, and those who do not. True, there are some girls who use it more annoyingly and incessantly than others, but they all belong in the same category. Baby talk users. Last night I was at the gym with It Girl and Mrs. Newlywed, and the subject of baby voice came up. When It Girl started making fun of it, I told her she had no room to talk, because just that very day she had used it. “But, I wanna know your itinerary. I want to see you on Sunday” she said to It Boy. I almost wanted to say “Use your big girl voice” but decided to keep that commentary to myself. (For those of us non-baby talkers, baby talk is like nails on chalk board.) Mrs. Newlywed said that every girl does it, which is funny, cause I would think she’d be the last person on earth to use it. In fact, I still don’t believe that she actually does. I’ve never heard anything close to baby talk come from her lips. But, if she’s a self-professed baby talker, then I guess I’ll have to take her word for it. I told them I never use it. Never. Ever. I would punch myself in the face if I spoke to my boyfriend that way. The only time I come close to using baby talk is when I’m talking to dogs. Or babies. But never my boyfriend. I can give a list of names as references to check that out. In fact, I told them that I was so certain that I never have/will that I told them I would pay them both $20 if they ever heard me do it. I just don’t do that. Maybe I’m guilty of using girlfriend voice, which is completely different from baby talk. Girlfriend voice is like a little softer and sweeter and lower. I don’t do that often. But, I know I do that occasionally. I think that’s acceptable. But, baby talk? Hell no. I’m not a big pet name person either. I don’t think I’ve ever referred to a boyfriend as “baby” or “babe” or “sweetie” or anything like that. It’s just not me. It’s way too cheesy. I have a feeling that New Marine is probably a pet name kind of guy. I wonder if I can make “dude” be his pet name? I’m going to convince him that that’s very sentimental. I’m crossing my fingers he won’t mind if I merely refer to him by his name. I guess we’ll see. But in the meantime, I just wanted to memorialize my promise to It Girl and Mrs. Newlywed, as I am THAT certain that I will never ever ever ever use baby talk to my man. Game on.

it's probably cause you have to find the right guy or haven't felt significantly close or trusting of your boyfriends. You should do research on babytalking couples. Never force it-when you start to babytalk and it's real-you've found a winner-and if you don't feel bad that is, if you feel you've gotten whiny-your talking to someone you know wants to have power over you and have anger-it'll show later. I know, I'm a babytalker, and in my first relationships I didn't get it at all. The first time I did, I was really in love, and then it took a turn and my babytalking changed, like don't be mad or wound me, and he then eventually snapped on me, and said he didn't like babytalk either, months later his true side came out, and by the end of the relationship I saw the beast for what he was-ever girl's enemy, even though it was a way of fondness-cold people don't like babytalk-and I'm sure that's not you your just a girl who hasn't set onto that road-however, if you meet a guy and he's right but their's no baby talk-ya'll might have many other ways of talking or handling things. Baby talking isn't a weakness-research it. But, if you here a girl whine or cower in babytalk and sound confused-she's secretly used her baby talk to find out she's found a bad person-and is in the final stages of realizing the person she loves very much, she's going to have to let go when she can. There's a lot to know about it.
