Spanish term or phrase: Should I be worried? Use of "mi amor"

Hello,

I found this on my girlfriends phone, and it had "mi amor" on it. Is this term ever used loosely among friends, or should I be concerned?

"Oh si mi amorrr, gracias por avisarme, tal vez vaya ;-) te digo cuando llegue, a ver si tu puedes tb. Muaaaa. Si, muy bonito afuera :-) -Girlfriends Initials

The man she works with is from Mexico.

Asker: Well, I never said I was worried; rather, I'm concerned. I'm just curious to the meaning from the message; does it sound romantic in nature or just two friends be "friendly."

Yes, actually.

It is more like when you say my dear... nothing sexual, nothing wrong with it.

Any way, I will ask her just in case.

Asker: ...am I just missing something, but someone calling my girlfriend darling seems inappropriate? I suppose it's a cultural clash of sorts.
