I call my fiancee baby girl/baby/angel & I call my friends/close friends honey/sweetie/lovely/babe, & they like it & don't mind it.
If it's used by a stranger/overused, ie; It's okay hun, don't worry hun, I'm here for you sweetie, then that's a bit ... o.O weird. But, yeah. I don't mind it & most if not all people I know don't mind it either & actually like it/prefer it than without those use of words.
