The problem suddenly appeared in my brain, and I wanna know the answer very much.
In China, if I fall in love with a female(a Chinese) who is 34 years old and unmarried, I will call her "girl" when I text messages her in English.
【In fact, generally, most Chinese will think a female should be called "girl" when she's a virgin and conversely a woman. 】
MY QUESTION:
If I stay in America and have a female colleague(who is 34 years old American and unmarried ) at work, is it right/polite/proper if I say "Girl, would you have a cup with me"?
Thanks in advance!
