It all depends. I mean, you could. But you don't usually call your girl friends that. Based on everyone's varying comments, I would say it depends on the situation. If she is a good friend, and she thinks of you as a good friend, you might call each other buddy, meaning like "best friend". If she is your girlfriend, I don't know if she would like it. Every relationship is different, so some girls may be okay with it. For example, if you consider your girlfriend your best friend, you can call her buddy.
If you only met someone only a few times, and don't really know them, it's weird to call a girl "buddy". Buddy is just a really endearing term, so I would reserve it for people who are special to you.
Really after It I'm feeling so confortable about when use It or not! Thank you so much for your explanation! So, if you possibly want to date the girl, don't call her buddy.
The one learning a language! More likely she uses this on men more than she will on her women friends or female people that she knows. Unfortunately this is a said reality when a girl uses a friend term on you instead of a more personal one. Most girls who have feelings for someone will not make it appear as if they are in a friends only situation when the guy they like. Quite the opposite is true actually. She will want to avoid making you think that you are just friends or buddies.
That is because she is trying to create a more intimate bond with you. There are times where a girl might call you buddy because she is teasing you. How do you know this? It is all about reading the context of the situation. This is often the reason if you are co-workers or school mates.
In a joking manner as you were reaching for something. It just means she is teasing you. They're much more intimate. And than can also be offensive depending on the person and the circumstance. You could say something like "sis" for sister or "girl". Or even better, borrowing from Spanish, "Chica". Between two people that are dating, it's a little easier. People often come up with fun pet names. But between two friends, it's not very common. If you're just looking for a term, a reference, you could call someone your "pal".
That is also a word more common for males, but consider the term pen-pal; it can be gender-neutral. However, "pal" is rarely used in any positive sense today. Alternatively you could use "BFF" best-friend-forever or "best friend". Ultimately however I think your best choice is to use the gender-neutral "friend". The word "buddy" is a little archaic and was used in a time when males wouldn't have commonly referenced to females in the same way.
If that is too general or formal, you'll need to provide a cultural context; buddy is specific to some groups, and not used in others. I would call male and female friends 'friends', and specify 'female' if I needed to. Usually, it is immaterial, so why be specific? I prefer not to make gender the centre of every interaction; I would go as far as avoiding the female diminutive names for professions like 'actress' where it is optional, because it accepts and reinforces an unnecessary social division.
On 'buddy', in the UK this is considered an American term, and is used for example at universities or clubs each new student gets assigned an existing member as a 'buddy'. Share Facebook. What do you think if a girl calls you buddy?
Add Opinion. I would much rather be called "jerk" than "buddy". I even asked this girl I like if we were buddies and she said "no" so at least I'm in the clear with the friend zone, of course it doesn't mean she likes me but at least she doesn't see me as a "buddy", although the fact that she can say "we are not buddies" while looking me in the eye could mean she hates me, we get along really well but we are not buddies, so I'm not sure where I stand.
Is this still revelant? Xper 7. I would definitely take a friend zone indicator unless it was in context like if you said listen here buddy in a joking way.
I wouldn't take that as a friend zoning. Sign Up Now! Related Questions. Show All.
