Now, for me, there's a funny separation about this:
I like it when people close to me use pet names. In fact, because I don't tend to use them much, when others do, it means a lot to me, even if it's common for them.
And although I don't seek it out, I don't mind when strangers, say, the checkout woman at the supermarket, call me "sweetie" or some such.
But I hate, hate, hate it when someone in between those two extremes uses terms of endearment.
