I really don't like it when guys who aren't my SO start using terms of endearment when talking to me. It irritates me and makes me uncomfortable, but I have yet to let any of them know that I don't like it.
In the spirit of being more assertive, I want to... And here's an opportunity to do so. New guy who barely knows me is calling me 'dear' via text. How do I let him know that I don't like that? Without sounding like a jerk... He is someone I may be working with in the next year.

Welp, he didn't take it well... I said I wanted to be honest and that I have a thing against words like dear, hun, babe. He said he thought dear was harmless and saves the last 2 words for when he has a girlfriend, and then followed up with some terse lines.
I tried to make light of the situation, but then he called me ma'am
Okaykaykay.
