Advice Needed Urgently!!!

[holahaysus]

Basically we were close friends but I moved away. I rang him recently and he was so happy that I called- he told me that I made his day and that no other friend cares about him enough to check up on him like me. We even started talking about the lovely memories we had together & he said that he's glad I appreciate them. Then I started talking about my new job- I said that the hours were f***ed up & he started laughing, replying with 'I thought you said you have more hours for f***ing now' even though I was one hundred percent clear in what I said. Then he said that he shouldn't be saying this & that he forgets how young I am. I just giggled telling him to wait until I'm a bit older.
Then a few days after our phone call I joined a messaging site & within minutes he had texted me a sticky with 'Hello' as the message (he has never ever texted me before)but I had lost his number so I asked who it was and he replies with 'it's me my darling'..I just said that I hope he's keeping well, he hasn't been online since. I really like him though.

Opinions please??

I'm not exactly clear on what you are asking us. On what specifically are you looking for advice? On the surface, my gut reaction is I find it a bit inappropriate for him to be calling you "my darling" when you two haven't even so much as dated. ....But maybe that's just me/maybe he meant it more innocently than it hits me. It sounds like you are saying you like him..... and it definitely sounds like he likes you. I mean, I could be wrong, it isn't like I can know that for sure, but it sounds that way to me. So, just keep chatting with him and see where it goes from there.

Or, if you want, you could maybe even ask him out yourself. Maybe he'll be interested, maybe not. Either way, at least then you will know. But, perhaps you can clarify what advice you are looking for so I and possibly others can offer more specific advice.
