Default Do you mind terms of endearment from people you don't know..?
..if someone you don't know addresses you with a term of endearment...mate, dear, babe, hun, sweetheart..whatever they may say....do you mind..?...or would you rather they didn't..?..

Nah, I keep my little 'codenames' to my close-friends.

I do call literally everybody bub though, I might need to stop with that one.

Just pluck up the courage and call me the name you so obviously want to, Ammi.

You may find it liberating.

I generally don't mind...it beats being called an awful name but I couldn't call someone I don't know "love" or something.....

I have no problem with it in real life, on forums it depends on the context they are used as some posters use them to try and patronise.

It would annoy me if a 12 year old started calling me love

Ok, maybe upon reflection, I'm not overly keen on strangers using terms of endearment with me
