You just met me. I'm not your "babe"

Why do men feel the need to call women they are interested in pet names like "babe", "sweety",
"honey", "pretty" or any other pet name??  Who told them that it was acceptable to call a woman they just met a pet name?  Not only is it not acceptable it is kind of creapy and off putting.  Nothing will stop a conversation between me and a new man than him calling me babe.   Well that is right after him touching me without my permission.  Get to know your social cues.  If I haven't casually touched you first I'm probably not ready for you to touch me.  If you clasp my hand and I don't close my hand around you, I don't want to be holding your hand. 
Here is the bottom line.  Pet names and over the top compliments should be saved for an established relationship.  That is something special that you share with each other.  Trying to use those terms too early cheapens them and is probably going to limit how far your relationship will go.  There is nothing wrong with reaching for your date's hand but if that person doesn't close their hand around your's the timing isn't right or it may just not happen.
