Does Anata mean darling?
あなた — Anata
It can be said in an endearing way, like “darling” or a pet name in English, but it is also often used to express exasperation.
Can you say Anata to a girl?
We (Me and my Gf) mostly use “I love you”, mostly maybe because we talk english mostly. But both are appropriate to say to your bf/gf. Generally “anata” is used between married couple, especially when a wife calls her husband, and it’s out of date. Japanese is a very flexible language.
Is Anata an endearment?
The other place where Japanese native speakers use “anata” is when women are speaking to their husbands. In this case, it’s similar to “my darling” and “my sweetie” in English. You might have heard “omae” which also means “you”. Husbands tend to use “omae” when they’re talking to their wives instead of “anata”.
Is using Anata rude?
あなた should never be used to someone of higher status. That’s why it is always rude to use it when speaking to teachers, superiors, etc. The only times I have seen it used are the special case of wife-to-husband and in service situations where they have no idea what your name might be. Well, you could always use あんたさま。

Re: The use of the word anata
あなた can be used often from the third person to second person, such as teachers/tutors to pupils/students, a boss at work to workers. This mean does not always apply the higher position to the lower but I feel the person in lower position is difficult to say あなた to the higher position.
