I do not know if it is okay but I said it several times to my exboyfriend. He then always reacted similar, he liked to hear it.

merhaba!
optum is the past tense of the verb opmek= to kiss
the form optum is a familiar one which both men and women can use
instead of seni opuyorum (I kiss you) you can say optum (kiss) whether to a girl or to a boy

False. Females can say "tatlım" to males too.

I saw that it is like "Tschüss" in German, or "Bye" in English, but not for everyone. It depends on the people, so it can be both men to women, women to men. Also i have heard women to women and maybe just for fun: men to men. lol
