What is the difference between 'ya gameel' and 'ya habibi'?
I think both are terms of endearment. Can either be used for just a friend or do both imply a boyfriend/girlfriend?

ya gameel means ur beautiful the word is mascular but u can say it to boys or girls the same meaning but habibi means my love . u say habibi to someone is close like husband or son. for example u can say to ur son calm down baby means ehda ya habibi. so habibi also can use as flirtation women to man or vise verse.

Both of these expressions are used in either a friendly way or between the belovers and they are actually a kind of flirting or praising.

What if a girl start using this word in conversation and you have no idea what to interpret it !!!
'ya habibi' & 'thank you habibi' was the words she used. Should one reply with 'habibti'?
What should be a proper reply? Google doesn't help much but hope you guys can.
