Although I am not particularly shy, I would tell him that he is invading 
my personal space and that I find it very rude.  Most people, by the third
time you tell them they are being rude, back off.  Another idea is to 
physically draw away to indicate your dislike of being touched casually.
I also heard a good comeback if you are called "sweetie" or "honey", just
say "ok, poopsie" and they shut right up.  Good luck!
