In my interacting with people, I seldom address my friends by their names. I only call Mr, Miss or Madam to people I meet the first time or perhaps those are very serious type of people who do not like to joke. To the male, i prefer to name them as brother when they are older than me or those who are younger, i call them as young man. I have many older friends who love to be called as young man too, making them feel younger in mind.
I have hundreds of dear, honey, sweetie and darling who are my female contacts. All of them started as dear but as they get to understand me more, I address them as darling. Dear and darling are sweet names which are pleasant to hear when is spoken from a sincere male friend to the ladies. Not to make one special lady jealous with me, i have only one sweetheart or my little darling. I am sorry my dears, honeys and darlings out there who might be reading my blog, I can't call you sweetheart. I hope all of you do understand!

Oh My Dear Robert!!! I don't want you to think the "Mr" title is bad, it is just a way of showing respect... However, respect is calling the person what they wish to be called and what we are comfortable with my dear!
ReplyDeleteThanks for everything you write as you inspire me everyday.
Hi dear..
ReplyDeleteI jumped like a kid when you wrote My Dear to me. Perhaps when I was a young man, I felt proud to be called as Mr. The funny part of life is, when we are older, we want to be young again. This little gesture counts a lot to a man who is still growing up like me.U had not offended me in anyway. Just that a man like me who is still growing up, tend to be naughty all the time. Dear I hope you understand now?
