Familiarity: In certain regions (e.g., parts of the UK, particularly the North of England), "love" is a very common term of address, even between strangers. It's a friendly and informal way of speaking to someone, similar to "mate" or "dear." More about Familiarity.
Condescension/Patronization: Although less common, in some contexts, calling someone "love" can be condescending, especially if said in a certain tone. This usually happens when the speaker wants to show that they are in a position of authority or disagreement. Check out Condescension.
Comfort/Sympathy: It can also be used to offer comfort or sympathy to someone who is upset. The speaker can be expressing their caring nature. Check more about Sympathy.
It is important to note that the meaning largely depends on the speaker's intention, tone of voice, and the existing relationship dynamics.
