When a Colombiana is talking to a Colombiano,not a family member,and she calls him "Papi",what are the possible meanings?Can it have a romantic meaning?

My wife said unless it was the girl's father or son or another young relative (papito), any guy she calls Papi is her boyfriend.

As to my opinion on this whole mess. Step back. Evaluate the entire situation. If it's bad just get the hell out.

I've been there and the deeper I dug the worse it got. I found out much more than I really wanted to know (I was overseas at the time).

There is an old axiom that says if one person says it's over, it's OVER!

Of course only you can decide what's best for you.

While making love my ex Venezuelan girlfriend used to say

Ay Papi,Ay Papi.

Hi Pete,

Looks like someone has got caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Papi is used when talking to a girls father or her lover. Time to get real.

You wouldn't jump to conclusions, would you?

Yes he would,but Howard is a good friend of mine and knows some things.I probably will be saying no more about it here.

There are limits but sometimes they're hard to define when you're enamorado.

CV,
Remings me of and Percy Sledge song"When a man loves a woman"-- "Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down."
Emotionally we want to belive her,same song " If she plays him for a fool he the last one to know".Or admit it at least.
There's a name for it and its not a river in Egypt.But sometimes it becomes so obvious it cannot ignored.Some people have to get hit between the eyes with a 2 x 4 to wake them up.Of course its red flag city way before that,but guys in love can ignore red flags no problem.

Am I correct in recalling a conversation, about validating suspicions by involving strangers. I wish you luck and a level head while relating impressions to the source and not to the Loro Coro. suerte jim

Jim,
I started out just asking,maybe there was an innocent explanation.I did that post about 7.30 this morning after a pretty sleepless night.
Maybe I wasn't thinking strait.
I didn't intend to ellaborate here.I sent a private mail a couple hours ago that I almost posted here by mistake.It would have been imformative.
Loyalty has its benefits.But sometimes it  works against you.
If this goes the direction I think its headed I will tell the whole fu--ing story,of which you nguys only know a little so far.
Oh.My wifes girl friends,go ahead and call her and tell her what I said here.I just don't give a sh!t wether she likes it or not anymore.Ask her whats happening.The chance you will get the truth is pretty small.She doesn't tell anyone the truth.

One other thing,after the orignal post we talked.I got an incredible lie that at first seemed clever,but if you think about it at all its absolutely unbeliveable.If she doesn't fess up tonight you guys might get to judge for yourself tommorow.
Validation?Hell I'm just pissed.And so tired of being lied to and wanting to believe them.I didn't start off to say this much but it came out.

I agree with the others.   Papi is a term of intimacy.  It's not a phrase a woman would call any ordinary amigo. I'd say, outside of a woman's father or son, it's a term a woman would give a husband or lover.

I agree with the other guys.  It is a term of enderment like sweetheart or honey.  Just this past April a movie was released called "Chasing Papi" about a latin man with 3 fiancees.

... in response to A question, posted by Pete E on Sep 29, 2003

Papi is a term of endearment. Me ex called me nothing else. My current novia never calls me that as she lost her father at a young age and reserved "papi" for him.

Women, will call their sons Papi, their fathers papi, their lovers papi, rarely anybody else. I have never heard a latina even call her brothers or uncles papi. They are "mano" and "tio".

OTOH, women that work in bars etc sometimes call the clients "papi" but more often "mi amor".

Can it have a romantic meaning? Sure. If it is not a son  or father, it usually does have a romantic meaning

... in response to A question, posted by Pete E on Sep 29, 2003

Yes, it can have a romantic meaning. My fiancee calls me that sometime, but she also calls her son Papi also. It's really a term of endearment.

Tim.

I am a little curious.  Can it work the other way around?  Say, the man calls the woman Mami?
