Are you able to tell your man how you feel about him? If you do, you should let your guy know if he calls you boo. He might get frustrated and move on to another person if you don’t. However, men like things to be straightforward so if he calls you boo and hasn’t kissed you yet he may want to talk to you about your feelings.
He wants you to take the next step
To let you know it’s time to move on, some guys will use the term “boo”. Some guys are shy and passive or lack confidence in addressing women. This can be frustrating for some girls and even irritating. If he isn’t more active, you might find yourself turning your back on him. He might still have something to offer, even though he’s passive.
If he calls your boo but doesn’t hold your hand, hug you or holds you at the end of dates, he may just be looking for you to do some of the heavy liftings. To see what happens, give him a hug and kiss at the end of the date. If he likes you, he has likely made it easier for himself to be open to you. If he is struggling, don’t be afraid of taking the initiative.
Is it a sign that you’re just a friend when he calls you Boo?
Sometimes guys call their gal friends boo when they are feeling friendly. This can be not very pleasant, but it is understandable. Be aware of the context in which he calls you “boo”. Is it a way for you to get closer or a friendly term that he uses to refer to his friends? Men who use boo with their friends only for dating purposes are likely to avoid it.
Does Boo Mean He Takes You Seriously?
Boo may seem silly and lighthearted to some women. But not all men see it this way. It is often seen as a casual and fun way to show affection, and many men like it that way. You shouldn’t assume that he lacks seriousness because he uses it. To get an idea of his personality, you can just weigh him. Some guys see boo as a way to flirt lightly, but not get too sexual.
What if you don’t like being called Boo?
Some women won’t like the name boo. It might be too casual or silly for some women. Do you need to let him know what you think? Yes, but only reasonably and openly. Do not make him feel guilty or mock him for using the term. Tell him it’s not right for you. He will eventually find the right pet name for you, which is comfortable for both of you.
Keep your life open

This term conveys something, whether he is telling you that he loves you or thinking of you as more of a friend.
