usually, what boys do is use the girlfriends name twice. If a girl is calle Yu Chen, then she will often be addressed as Chen Chen, Liu Cong will be Cong Cong, etc.
As to having an equivalent to "Darling" or "Honey" I will need to ask around.

I agree on repeating a word twice. Names such as Bu Bu, CoCo, and actually TaiTai means wife so that can also be used.

kchur:

Call your wife taitai? Seriously?

i think  "Darling" or "Honey" is better, as you can call any girlfriend "darling", it is difficult  to make a mistake if you have many girlfeiends.

My GF asked me to call her "Sweetie", she likes that.  I used to call her Yin Yin (Rose Rose) but she claims I misspronounce it so badly she has no idea what I am saying.

And the reverse, when she is in a good mood and maybe wants something, she will call me "honey".  When she is upset at me she calls me "stupid".

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
