Aw. That's actually kind of cute now that we have more detail. Yeah, it doesn't sound like he's trying to be lecherous and gross at all. I'm glad you're being nice to him :)

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't understand the potentially insulting connotations behind the word "princess"; it might just be something he picked up from TV as a word to call pretty girls and he thinks he's being nice.

Oh man, okay I should stop before I give him more backstory. Still, thinking about him now suddenly fills me with wonder and an innocent kind of glee.
