4. Terra, 26. The words I use most are sweetie (for someone Im sweet on, dating regularly), partner for more serious/integrated relationships, and lover or friend/lover for friends and lovers.

How often should a guy call you in the beginning?

More like a general rule of thumb. Its completely ok to start a conversation anytime that feels right to you. Its also ok to initiate less often and more on the side of every 3-5 messages. The point is that no one person should be doing all the work.
