So, I have this coworker. We work in diff departments, but we sometimes see each other. He's sweet, funny, and well-intentioned, but he's called me "honey" multiple times. Im not his wife, girlfriend, or daughter, so this came across as weird.

I talked to my mom about it and she said it was fine, and it was just a term of endearment.

Is this weird? Is this as creepy as I think it is or is my mom right?
