0Hi Kekel,02br 02br 00Don't use honey or sweetheart with friends. 02br 02br 00However, sometimes a "darlin' " sneaks in as a term of affection for a coworker with whom I have a friendship, but NEVER for one of the other ***. As in "There you go, darlin' " when I give her something that I worked on for her.

0 My advice would be to forget all three of these words. Don't use them at all until you marry an American or British man. Then use them only when addressing your husband.02br
