Today I tried to talk to a real life friend as I'm talking to you guys

I referred to him as "my dear" well in greek it makes sense, we use expressions like this. I have never referred to him in this way, our relationship has always been of the cold kind.. and we're friends for some years already.. :)
How about you? Let's practice some closeness words ..☺️🌸 but keep it respectful, meaning, go together with the other person and not much further than what they feel comfortable with..... 💗
