Girls, Do you get angry when someone calls you darling?

[Yellovv]

I am asking in public places in shopping centre or somewhere else if someone call you darling how would you react?

[musicbrain5]

I wouldn’t get angry, but it can be viewed as condescending where I live.

[Yellovv]

But that is very common in England also too many married woman call me my love, honey etc.. but I don't know about Canada..

[musicbrain5]

It isn’t common here, at least not in my region. I think this might be more common down east in the Atlantic provinces, but I’m not sure. It could be from the increased influence of British culture on those regions. Where I am, it’s more American in nature, I think.

In my family’s culture, Russian, it is common to call members of your family and people you are close to, by a shortened version of their name. It’s called a diminutive name, or what the English speaking world would call a nickname or pet name. It is considered very rude to call strangers or formal acquaintances by a diminutive or affectionate name, unless THEY invite you to do so.

Are you Russian yourself?

[musicbrain5]

Ethnically yes, mostly Russian, but I was born in the US and raised in Canada and English is my first and strongest language. My mom was also born in Canada but her parents were from Russia/Soviet Union. My dad is also from Russia, he defected and made his way to the US to go to university in the 80’s.

Are you living in Canada or in Usa?

[musicbrain5]

I live in Canada.

[Yellovv]

What's the different between Usa and Canada you think?

[musicbrain5]

In what way? Lifestyle? Not much different, especially with more northern states and the ones that border Canada.
