I met a man around 3 months ago at a shared hobby and we have been in contact/meeting up since then. We both agreed to keep it casual as we both have commitments elsewhere and don't have the time for anything too serious.
We have gotten into a nice phase where we enjoy each others company and chat and sex. We are in touch mostly everyday but it's very relaxed. I don't feel the need to check in with him every day and don't worry if I don't hear from him etc. Very relaxed.
However, we mainly communicate through voice notes and I have noticed since the last time we saw each other (a week ago) he uses my name CONSTANTLY. Every voice note will start with, 'name, I think that's great that you did this blah blah' or he will say, 'that's so funny name' or he will drop my name into the middle of a sentence.
At first I thought it was nice and familiar but it's literally in every voice note and I'm starting to find it a bit put on and fake. And the fact he hasn't done this from the start, if he had I would maybe just think it's him but why is he suddenly saying my name so often in a conversation between just us?
It's actually giving me a bit of the ick. AIBU?
