This might seem like a deceptive title. What are cute names to call your boyfriend? Words like Binky, Cuddle Butt and Big Sexy. Sure…
But a guy you like? A guy you just met? A guy you might not even find attractive? Big mistake! You don’t want to go around calling him Cuddle Butt. Talk about awkward!
And yes, a guy will get all weird and clingy if he thinks you like him, so it’s best to be careful with cute and platonic nicknames UNTIL you know you want to pursue a relationship. Otherwise, it’s just too intimate and downright invasive. It’s best to keep friendships casual and serious relationships SLOW, right? No sense jumping into bed or jumping into married life with a lovey-dovey nickname.
That begs the point, what are some cute names to call a guy friend that aren’t sexual or romantic in connotation? What do you call a guy that you LIKE but you’re not anywhere near LOVE yet?
No problem, we’ve assembled quite a list of cute guy names (50) that are safe and playful without stepping over the line of intimacy. Feel free to use these on your guy friends and let the fellow know he’s appreciated!
1. Chewie (why not name your bud after the adorable wookiee?
2. Mountain Man (is he a tall guy or does he have a massive beard?)
3. Shorty (better for a tall friend, to remind him he’s actually a tall handsome guy)

49. Buster (or just an affection term meaning someone who’s a troublemaker)
50. Wine Connoisseur (if he loves his wines, he’s got an auto-generated nickname)
In conclusion, remember the purpose of a friendly nickname: to show endearment, trust and appreciation. That’s all you need. You don’t need to reward him with a kinky or brilliant nickname, as if he’s earned any special honors. Friends don’t do that to each other. Friends are happy to be in each other’s company, even if it’s strictly platonic.
Friends are there for each other, regardless of sex, and just because they care about you as a person. Don’t use any nicknames that YOU feel uncomfortable using, because it implies intimacy or attraction. Use a name you feel genuine about and that can express openly. If he’s a real friend, he will love it.
