He most likely meant he loves the work you do and probably feels like a jerk for misspeaking. Ignore it.

I'd so play along and say ME TOO HONEY...

Come on folks, it happens...

Gah! So embarrasing. I got a "lv, name" at the end of a BB email. Whoops!

Ha ha

At least he didn't call you Mom ....

You should tell him that you love him, too. It's the polite thing to do.

Of course you should ignore it. It was an accident. If he noticed, he's mortified.

I can't imagine what you would say? OP, I'm so curious...what other options do you think you have besides ignoring it?

I don't know - I think it's the only one. I'm just worried that HE will bring it up. To "clear the air" or something like that.

That's hilarious. You know he was on auto pilot so pretend you didn't hear it.

Ditto.

Ignore it - until performance review time - and if you don't get a good one...say "but...I thought you loved me!"

Yes. We have been working together for a long time - and are very close....professionally....we have a good working relationship. I'll completely pretend I didn't hear it.

Of course you should ignore it. He's probably mortified and you said it was inadvertent. Anything other than ignoring it is going to make him feel like more of an ass.

He's mortified. Ignore it and forget about it.

My boss (male) just called me on the phone to get some information for a presentation he's doing this afternoon. We discussed the presentation and as he's getting ready to hang up - he says "great - thanks for everything, I love you"

I realize it was an auto I love you (like when you are getting ready to hang up on your wife) but I don't know how to react or what to do.

I'm thinking of ignoring it.
