What does it mean when a girl calls you love?
If your girlfriend calls you love, it may be because she wants to express her affection. It may also signify that she’s comfortable with you and trusts you. If she calls you love in front of other people, it may be because she’s proud of you and wants to show you off.
She may also be testing the waters or wanting to get a guy’s attention in order to see if he reciprocates her feelings. It may also be that she’s feeling flirty and wants to see how you react. No matter what the reason is, it’s a good sign that she cares about you.
It depends on the context of how she uses the word “love”. If it’s said in an overly sweet way, then she may mean that she loves you (as in “I love you”). If not, then there are different reasons she might call you love.
It could mean nothing at all and just that she has feelings for someone else and won’t admit it now or even later on down the road (maybe someday) but still calls them her “lovey-dovey”.
It all really just depends on the context in which she said it and how close you are to one another. If you’re unsure, you could always ask her directly what she means when she calls you love.
How to respond when a girl calls you love?
Determining how to respond when a girl calls you love depends on the context of your relationship and what she means as she says it.
She may simply be expressing her fondness for you, or, if there’s a romantic spark between you, she may be hinting that she has deeper feelings for you.
If you feel the same way about her, don’t hesitate to let her know by saying “I love you, too.” And you can follow that up by asking her out on a date.
However, if you’re not ready to express your feelings or are not interested in dating her romantically, try using another positive qualifier to deflect the situation.
For example, if she says, “I love talking with you,” respond by saying something like “I really enjoy our conversations too” rather than committing yourself to an outright “I love talking with you” in return.
If there isn’t any romantic interest, but the two of you get along well enough as friends, be honest and gently let her know that while she’s great as a friend and companion but just doesn’t attract any romantic feelings from you.
In this case, a response along the lines of “You mean more to me than I can say” is appropriate because it expresses some affection without implying romance on your end.
Either way, it’s best not to lead anyone on when it comes to matters of the heart—being sincere will go a long way in preventing hurt feelings further down the road.
Finally, if it seems like she might have been hinting at something deeper but your intuition isn’t clear or definitive enough either way and all other methods have failed (including actively looking into her eyes) then ask what she meant directly by saying something like:
“What exactly did/do you mean when/as/while saying ‘love’?”
Followed by waiting patiently for an answer while trying not to seem too anxious or desperate; once again honesty is key here!
Is it a good sign when a girl calls you love?
When a girl calls you love, it’s definitely a good sign. And it doesn’t matter if you’re in a relationship or not.
If you are in a relationship and she calls you “love,” it could mean that she is very comfortable with you. It could also be a signal that she likes you.
If you are not in a relationship and she calls you “love,” it could mean that she is being friendly. It could also signal that she likes you or is in love with you. If so, then calling you “love” might be her way of testing the waters of your feelings for her.
In other words: When someone uses sweet words like this to refer to another person, what they are really saying is that they want to get closer to them and make them feel comfortable around them as well as themselves.

Insight from the other side: Calling a Guy Love
What does it mean when a girl calls you love in a text?
If you’ve met her a few times and she calls you love in text messages, it could be a sign that she likes you.
If you’ve been dating for a while and she calls you love in text messages, it could be a sign of how much she cares about you.
Texting is a relatively casual way to communicate, so if she’s using terms of endearment like “love” or “my love,” it’s a good sign that she has strong feelings for you.
Just ask yourself: Does she call everyone love?
If the answer is yes, then it’s safe to say that this girl is just too affectionate with strangers. Other people have different levels of intimacy with their friends and family members. It’s possible for some people just to be an affectionate type of person and not mean anything by it.
What does it mean when your crush calls you love?
If your crush calls you love, it means that she feels strongly about you. If she is willing to verbally refer to her feelings for you, then it shows that she has a lot of trust in the relationship.
It also indicates that she has positive expectations for the future of your relationship with her. A girl would not call a man love unless she was sure that he would react positively to it.
What does it mean when a friend calls you love?
1st reason is that if you have a friend with benefits, they will probably refer to you as love while they are in the heat of passion.
This may not mean much, and it is likely just a casual term that she uses with her friends or other people that she has hooked up with in the past.
While this may seem confusing, look for other signs of attraction that go beyond the sexual feelings, and try to find out if there are other contexts where “love” is used as an endearment. If not, then it is safe to assume that this meaning fits best.
The 2nd reason might be that when finishing off a text message or having a casual phone conversation with someone who is your best friend, then it is common to sign off using “love” or something similar.
In some countries like England, Australia, and South Africa, it is common to finish conversations by saying “cheers” or something similar when dealing with close friends or people you have known for many years (although this can also be seen as quite informal).
Just because a girl calls you love does not mean that she actually likes you romantically; instead, she could be trying to show respect or friendship through her choice of words.
If this situation sounds familiar then see if there are any other signs of attraction below that give more context to the situation.
