The guy (23M) I (25F) have been talking to for 2 weeks and haven’t seen irl yet called me “my love”. What now?

r/

We started talking after matching on bumble and it is honestly crazy how well we connected. We talk non-stop, all day every day.
He has demonstrated many times that he wants to take things slow (no sexual advances or hints at all, and if the opportunity arises he deflects the conversation away from it) and shows genuine interest in me.

Having said this, last night we were chatting on discord while playing dead by daylight (I was teaching him how to play), when after laughing at something I said, he said “I can’t see you, my love”. I could hear in his voice that he was still smiling while saying it but then he immediately went quiet. I think it was just thinking out loud and he didn’t want to say it, so I just told him where I was on the map and we kept playing.

My question is, should I bring it up and talk about it? I did like it, but since I know for a fact he wants to go slow I’m afraid to seem pushy.

TL;DR: A pet name slipped out of a guy that wants to take things slow, I don’t know if I should bring it up and if so, how to

    That’s very love bomby, but it sounds like it was a slip of the tongue (or is there a language barrier?)

    Non-stop for two weeks is not as short a time as it might seem. I wouldn’t say it’s love-bomby. I would let it slide, this time and watch to see if it happens again. This depends on the type of guy he is though. He may not like the fact that you left something unaddressed between you. Men generally like women who are direct about what they want. So, again, it depends on your knowledge of him.

    You are in the flirting stage, although you have not met, this was said in the context of the future. It is time to meet and resolve these issues
