I like this guy and he is only 8 years older than me, but when we write one another emails he has a tendacy to use the term "kid" when referring to me.
For example, I sent him a flirty email once and his reply was, " Damn,I think you're flirting with me, kid."
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember, "Here's looking at you, kid."

Maybe this is how he refers to cute females... Ask him nicely to not call you that if it bothers you. I don't think it's something bad, personally.

If he is using the term kid then he isn't taking you seriously and not seeing you as anything but a ... 'kid'... someone who he can play with and then leave - for someone more "grown up".
So.. if you are under 18 then you REALLY need to get out now!!!!
if you are under 21 then you should seriously consider getting out now..
if you are over 21 and he is still calling you 'kid'.. like I said... he isn't taking you seriously and you should be looking for someone else who will.

Using kid might be his way of trying to let you know that he thinks you're too young for him, or he could just mean the term as an affectionate pet name. You can tell by how he uses it in conversation.

If you take it as one! It could be taken as one, but it depends on the convesation and the mood. Have you talked to him as you have taken it this way? If you havent talk to him about it, do it and see what he says. He may not relalize he is doing it and just being himself. If he does know what he is doing and wont quit, i'd let him and finf someone that will treat you the way you need to be treated.

I refer to people much older than me as kids, but usually only in situations where they are students or coworkers or friends. I wouldn't call my boyfriend kid unless I was trying to tease him or assert my dominance. In this case, it sounds like he's trying to distance himself from you. So yes.

What a jerk! If he's too insensitive to talk to you like you're almost the same age, then he's not worth it! I talked to a guy that's 21 and I'm 13. He talked to me like I was his age! The dude you're talking to is immature!

I have a g/f of mine that uses kid all the time.
To people older or younger.
Maybe ask him if he uses it regularly or to just stop using it if it bothers you.

Nah, he's teasing. Don't let it get to you! Enjoy it while you're still young enough to be called kid.
