What does it mean when a girl calls you dear?

[LinkxPeach]

At church, I went to talk to my female friend and she calls me dear. What does that mean? Is there a romantic connection between us?

[Dim1213]

It all depends on the person and what that means to them. If you think there might be something ask her out. Don't wait until you know there is something. Women love it when men take the risk for them. I'm always hearing Christian girls complain that they are never approached by Christian guys. Go for it and if she was not interested you will get a good rep for being a guy that takes changes and asks the girls out.

Dear is kind of like Hon, they can be romantic endearments or they can just be a term affectionately used but doesn't mean romantic interest. Is she Southern? Does she refer to any other individuals as dear?

[LinkxPeach]

I don't think she's Southern. I think she prefers to me only as dear.

[AskAlthea]

It might be a romantic endearment then. I would look for other signs that she might be romantically interested in you.

No she doesn't want to bed you

I wasn't talking about sex. I was talking about romance.
