What does it mean when he calls me sweetheart/sweetie?

[Redneckkk123]

The guy that I have feelings for always calls me sweetheart/sweetie what does it mean? He knows that I have feelings for him because he actually has feelings for me and we're basically dating but not at the same time if that makes sense.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

sweetheart (noun)- used as a term of endearment or affectionate form of address.

also, that makes absolutely no fucking sense
