Vkat, it all depends on the time the guy says it.
If he says your 'precious girl of the Lord' on the first date, it is just reading too much into things, I think. I see NO reason that a guy would say something like that so soon unless..... well, I won't go there. And, yes, I KNOW, and, ladies will surely vouch for this, I think, since I don't truly know because I am not a girl , but, yeah, girls, you will say you have probably heard some AMAZING line from a guy but it comes way toooo early in the relationship and creeps the living daylights out of you.

I think, as I said, the Lord leads the timing for a guy to say something 'precious' and it should be way into the getting to know you time, like maybe right BEFORE he were to give you an engagement ring.
that would make it OK, and, that pretty much puts into context the magnitude of saying the 'precious' quote to a girl, guys . Dont' say that unless you are SERIOUS-SERIOUS about a girl because it will astronomically adVANCE the relationship to a place that the Lord probably (I can't speak for Him) does not want you to go early on in the relationship/friendship stage .
