Here’s our ultimate guide to figuring out why a woman might call you "hun" in any situation, plus advice on how to respond.
Things You Should Know
- “Hun” can be flirtatious, but it can also be endearing, polite, or even cultural.

Tips
- It's ultimately your job to probe further and see if she is flirting or interested—otherwise, you could just speculate about why she uses that term and nothing would ever happen between the two of you. For example, you could playfully ask "Do you call all the people you're flirting with 'hun' or is this special for me?"Thanks
