I find it too familiar. I think if a man is serious and respect a lady he would not sound like this. Am I right? Should I think of that man that he is not serious and is just trying to play a game? Please bear in mind that English language is not my mother tongue so I may be interpret this expression in wrong way. I am thankful in advanced for any helpful comment.Mirella Reply to this Question

 I agree with you that he is greeting is a bit too forward.
One of the pitfalls with emails is that it is very easy to let little emotions come out a bit more strongly than intended. Ever sent a spiteful email when in real life there'd be no way you'd have said the same things face to face? How much easier would it to type in "I love you" versus actually saying it?
That is probably what is going on right now. He feels close to you and it is easier to write "Hello, Sweet thing" than actually say it. Your emails are probably semi-personal and he feels a sense of closeness with you.
His reaction, I think is normal and I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you prefer a slower pace, then keep the emails a bit less personal or straight out tell him that his overtures are a bit too forward and to dial it back.
Good luck.

hello dare!
He is probably thinking of you as a really great friend right now. He probably has the mature side for work or other buisnessy areas and likes to let his hair down around you. Don't fret over this! its a compliment! But i can see how you may feel like he is a little too forward. Just ask him what makes you different to all the rest. Make sure he is alone when you do this otherwise he will just laugh it off.
hope this helps!
xx
