terms of endearment

it's best

not to overdue it

when using

terms of endearment

with a new

love interest.

dear or honey

is good

at first, and

cupcake is fine

for a while,

but stay

off the sweetie pie,

and

sugarplum.

it's too much too soon.

buttercup and

kitty, or baby cakes

is

pushing it,

but

in the end it's

back

to first names only.

or an emphatic last name,

give it time.
