Language / Shortened Polish male names [7]

Hi. My polish manager has told me to use a different form of his name (Bartłomiej) when we are speaking. I know the usual shortened form is Bartek, english speakers and other colleagues use Bart, but he wants me to use a name sounding like Bartus or Bartush (sorry but I don't know the correct spelling). What is the significance of this name?

He did say it is a friendlier or nicer version than the other diminutives of his name.

He has also started to call me lady when he greets me. Is there any meaning to this?

We have met for coffee on one occasion outside of work. And plan to again in the next few days

He has started saying 'hey lady' when he sees me for the first time each day, and has took to shortening my name also, even though I don't introduce myself using this.

But as for the relationship, I want to figure out first if he is just looking a friend, or if how he refers to me means he wants something more.
