I replied :
Shortening of name means you will be moving from friendship to relationship. The more you shortened it the more you will be moving towards relationship.

ok chandra..;)

So what does it mean; beginning of friendship or relationship?

  9. I feel like... nothing. I dont think any of that should signify anything if it is not accompanied by other things. :-).

  11. I am a little apprehensive about unknown people getting too familiar. That is what I perceive shortening of name as.

  12. As you get closer to a person
    you take liberties with many things,
    including their name, I guess
