I'm glad that was helpful to you. 
I also don't like it when a girl acquaintance address me as "Hey *****!" or "hey sexy *****"... what can i say to her without being rude about it?
It would be very appropriate to quietly say to the girl, "I know this is sometimes a fun way to address a friend, but to me, it makes me uncomfortable. Would you be so kind as to not refer to me in that way anymore? I would really appreciate it!" Maybe some might take offense, but most would consider your request and think it fair. Not everyone is out to hurt or insult another.
Also, if a guy calls me "sexy" or "baby" and i want it to stop, how should i respond?
Hmm....how about looking at them and saying "You're not addressing me in that fashion are you?" "My name is _____ and that is what I answer to best". If they do it again after you have said something like that, then ignoring them would again get the idea across that you are not going to answer to those names.
one time there was this guy, who was practicing a monologue in one of my acting classes a while back and he said to me "yeah you *****.." it was part of his monologue but I thought he was saying it to me, and I said stop i dont like it. and he kept doing it. i said stop it! i don't like that. and he still kept going. so i said "okay fine, keep going but i'm not listening." and i walked away.
I'm not sure I understand. Was he practicing on you without your permission and just pushing the monologue on you? Was he expecting you to play along with his monologue with more monologue?
He looked insulted. 3 days later he saw me again and said "hey you crazy ***** you crazy ***** crazy crazy ***** whats up?" I sat there, angry for a second, and got up and walked away. it was me, him and my scene partner. I told my scene partner i'm leaving. the guy also held my shoulders and shook em while saying that. I DID NOT LIKE THAT A BIT. but i didn't know if it would have been worth it to say anything back to him or walk away??
Hmmm....it sounds like he was being rude this time and then putting his hands on you was, in my book, stepping into your space and invading it. I can understand why you were angry at this.
The anger in me was there for days!

@TheDragon,
I understand what you are saying here, but distressed isn't trying to judge this married man, she's trying to understand what he was doing. She has every right to feel uncomfortable with what he said to her and how. It's incumbent upon the man to act appropriately around members of the opposite sex. If how he acted and spoke made distressed feel uncomfortable, then she is within her rights to explore why/how and what she can do now or in the future to help extract herself from that kind of situation without feeling guilty. I don't see her judging him at all......just asking questions and there is nothing wrong with that.
