Is "Dear" A Sensitive Word Among Friends Of Opposite Sex?

shirurinu SG

Okie la.. i have a fren who everytime call me will call me dear... at first its like.. having goose pimples.... but now its ok la... but still can't bring myself to call out that word to him... or any other guy which i dun have the chemistry with...

But when u meet someone that u like... its like.. you will yearn to call him dear.... and in a tone which is very affectionate.. Embarassed
blushing le la.... hahahahaha

To me, I think the word "dear" is *special* and should be reserved for my gerger only. Embarassed

I tend to use the word "girl" instead. Surprised

What are your views? How do you refer to your platonic friends? Wink [/b]

in a letter, its okie...but if calling dem...i think its either they shld be joking Wink

I also came across gals who called me such sweet names when I'm not their BF. At times I really dunno how to call them back, thus I'll just call their names. But they got angry~! But when I call them by these sweet names, they misunderstood me wor~! They thought I treat them as my GF~!

How~? Confused

However, to me I feel weird if she's not my GF and I used such sweet names on her~! Neutral

agree with you xav, dear is reserved for that special someone, although i tend to use other terms of endearment...

however last time (when i'm not attached) i sometimes end up putting "my dear" behind some sentences when i talk to my good female friends... like when I say "what are you doing, my dear"... somehow with a "my" in front, it makes it more harmless... Wink

EliteBoy SG

I know...
But I don't wanna ppl around me to get angry or sad lehz... Confused

aHGer^83 SG

i wld prefer dEEr Wink

Solitude SG

For me,i always address my oppt sex either by their names or i will address them by calling them auntie or ah soh

if u wanna flirt,*dear* is a good word to be used tho ( in my own opinion )

Devil1976 SG

Depends on when you decide to DATE me...? Laughing

Devil1976 SG

Hmm... Guess everybody sees it DIFFERENTLY...? To me 'dear' just means 'CLOSE TO'... How CLOSE is the closeness might varies though it's the SAME WORD.... But of course, status & love shouldn't be measured by words alone...? Cool
