I dunno what I said that made you assume I thought it would be weird to give people non-loveual compliments.
Eh, this pretty much put me off:
Also calling a straight guy lovey is about as complimenting as telling a girl stranger she has giant tits and a tight ass.
And honestly, I though the below quote would have given my thoughts away:
If they continue and you feel that they are flirting with you, then there is still no reason to be weirded out.
But there I go making assumptions again!
