like remembering important dates, using terms of endearment...i don't know... because i'm not sentimental..so i don't even KNOW what i should do that i'm not doing!!!
just be yourself. the girly stuff comes eventually. Avoid food nicknames tho, ie: porkchops, timbit, lambchops, sweety pie, etc. that just makes people barf. hahahaha
Yah, I agree with the people who say to be "true to yourself". I was gonna write that earlier, but I wasn't sure how to present it.
Being true to yourself doesn't preclude growing in areas (of sentimentality or "girlyness" [I didn't want to have to type that word out, but there, I did it]), though. Growing in areas (i.e. changing) isn't necessarily violating who you are. It can be viewed and growing into a greater fullness of your potential.
I feel like a new-age mystic, using that kind of language...
i don't think you _have_ to use terms of endearment just because other people do it. it just depends on what the other person prefers. (ie: if the other person isn't into super sentimental in that way, you don't need to use terms of endearment because you're "supposed" to).
i don't think there are really any "supposed to's" in relationships. i think you just have to find what works for you, what makes you feel loved (and vice-versa), and carve out your relationships on your own terms in a sense.

Who actually calls their significant other "lambchops"? That's REALLY funny!
I think it comes with time friend :)
I am still learning on the whole terms of endearment front :p
