What are words of platonic love in your culture that seem odd to outsiders?
Post Body

In my culture and around the people I was raised around it is extremely common to address everyone from strangers to paid professional caregivers as " my love" . It is not intended in any sexual way, but a way of expressing care and compassion.

For example, at the grocery store I need someone to grab something for me. I might say "Carino" Would you be so kind as to get that for me?

As I leave, I say thank you, darling to the cashier.

As I walk past the cart recovery employ thank you, wonderful

All platonic.

How does your culture express platonic love with words?

Comments

In some contexts, especially in LGBTQ communities, "partner" can refer to a platonic friend or companion with whom one shares a strong bond and may live with or share life responsibilities.
