Is this a weird interaction with my boss?

I’m a 24 year old guy and I was almost let go from my job. My boss who is an older man offered me an opportunity in a new role. He cane up to me the other day and asked me if i’m Up for the new role and I said of course and thanked him for the opportunity. He said “ anything you know I love you pal” and I said thank, love you too mike”. Is that weird, it’s been bothering me. Need advice

You didn't need to say that back. I'd forget about his comment--it's a real "tone of voice" thing combined with how he usually talks that you can't put into a YA question. We can't know the exact meaning.

He said it first so I say no on your part. For the boss....thats a bit weird.
