That could mean several things honestly. I have called lots of girls darling for quite a long time, but saying it in a friendly joking manner. Like, "well how are you darling?"
Anyways, it would depend on if this guy likes you or not. If he has not shown any signs of liking you, then it is very possible that "darling" is just a pet name he uses for friendly slang, just like calling his guy friends "dude" or "bro". However, I will say this; he probably would not call you "darling", if he did not think you were attractive. I highly doubt he would use that pet name towards someone he finds unattractive! And with that I am assuming you are an attractive person?...
Best thing you can do? If you like this guy, you should TELL HIM, and find out if he feels the same way about you! Hope this helps.
