Is this weird or normal?

I just got two messages minutes apart from Indians calling me 'dear'. One was a female, the other male. It strikes me as being strange to call someone you don't know dear, but maybe it's normal in other parts of the world. 🤔

That close together it was probably the same person approaching from different ways

@ViciDraco That's exactly what I thought. The coincidence in timing, origin and wording was suspicious.

That is the easiest way to tell they aren't American
MissPerfect · 22-25, F
@vetguy1991 Americans don't say dear?
@MissPerfect We don’t just call people dear.

I find people from Asian nations use dear a lot.

They're most likely scammers. It's one of the things that gives them away.

@Sharon If it was a phone call from India I'd definitely agree.
That's just a polite addressal comprising of the senders' emotion.

At least Treasure it if you can't reciprocate.

I don't think they understand English as well as you think they are.

The only person to ever can me dear was my late grandmother when she was trying to get me to do something
I find those who use endearments when addressing me for the first time, are looking for something. Usually something having to do with wanting to get intimate with me. I find it insulting.

Men and women at mature ages call the younger generation dear it's a sign of respect. You must have lived in a bubble your entire life.
MissPerfect · 22-25, F
@Souls My grandmother sometimes calls me dear, but that's it. Not other older people. Maybe everyone I've met shares a non-dear bubble.

Well maybe they worship deers instead of cows? 🙃😈😁

Dear is used by Scammers and Catfish a lot.
MissPerfect · 22-25, F
@VirginMatchmaker The woman was looking to hit on me. I could sense that.

That is quite odd. Let us know if that same dude (most likely) strikes again.
