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..?..

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.

haha, yeah, see that's where my depends thing comes in, if it were a 90 year old man or woman saying that to me, it wouldn't bother me but it probably would in other situations

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

LOL..yeah you see..you're starting to get my point....

..I don't mind it when I know people..I don't even need to know them that well..but I'm not keen on it if it's a total stranger who I've never ever spoken to before....I would never use a familiar term with someone I didn't know...

Yeah, I don't really even use terms of endearments myself, except with Gav and the kids and my nephews
