Do you love/like it OR
Do you hate/not bothered about it ???


Names like , honey/baby/sweetie/pet/darling//love.

I met someone briefly the other day in passing,
he called me pet all the time.

I personally cringe at that, it's ok if i know someone well
but from a stranger ,it's a no no for me.

What are your views on this?, if you would like to share.

It all depends who's saying it.

Sometimes, I wouldn't even notice. Sometimes I give an internal shudder.

In shops here in the city, you could be called 'love' regularly by the assistants, but it is just a city thing and nobody takes any notice.

Babe wouldn't be my favourite, especially from somebody I don't know uh oh

But generally it doesn't bother me too much either way.

I think that you are right about it being a city thing.

mollybaby: it depends on who says it, and in what context.
I remember in Chat, it was one fella's favourite word, and he used to use it on everyone, no malice intended.
I was immune to it from him



Hi, i'm talking about it in the context of
someone calling it in anger.

That is different.

It's all to do with context.
