Thing is if he was calling everyone sweetheart/my love I wouldn't care and I'd think its just him, but he only addresses me like this... I know I sound as if I am making a big deal out of nothing, but I am really really uncomfortable with him calling me this.

Roughly how old is he? Your response to him will have to be different depending on whether he is the older generation who don't really know any better, or the younger generation who should.Comment
