Yes he's saying it to make you feel special to him. And he's doing it to hang on to you without actually committing to you. He wants you to stay, but doesn't want to put in effort into a relationship.

It's a pet name for someone you care about, much like hunny, or sweetie, or mi amor, or my love, or dear.....and it's usually said to a boyfriend or girlfriend. I wouldn't call my nephew boo, or my dad! But I would call my boyfriend boo.

Where i am from that means friend

Where I'm from, guys/girls usually call their mates that...that's why it is confusing me.

Tell him if he calls you boo one more time, your going to have to ask him to change it to girlfriend

It's an open ended comment that you can laugh at if he backs off, because to me, JNS is correct, boo means "mine"... my lady... not sure about the Urban Dictionary's version ... But, it's certainly an ownership in my opinion....
