What does it mean if a guy calls you “little one”?

[Anonymous]

So this guy is a family friend and we’ve been texting a lot. We got into a fake squabble where he was pretending to be angry and he was like “don’t take that tone with me little one”?
He’s 3 years older than me.
Does he see me as a friend, little sister or something more?

Not sure but it seems cute. I love feeling little compared to my guy. It makes me feel safer with him.
