Dec 23, 2014 at 9:10	comment	added	user6951		First you ask how to use 'dear' and 'darling'. Then you ask can you use 'dear' or 'darling'. These are different questions. In addition, you have provided no context. Do you mean in person, in speech, in writing, in a letter, or what. In short it is unclear what you are asking.
