It depends on how affectionate you are. Ex: personally, I’m affectionate in small doses but if I call you little names like lovie, babes, babe, hun, honey, babydoll, sugar, lover, bug etc. then it’s just me talking, it doesn’t have to mean an attraction from me, it’s just my nurturing side. However, if I’m pissed at you, you will know when those names stop. Point being you have to find the vibe, does she seem like one of those people who use these name affectionately for everyday reason? Or who uses them within reason? You can always call her beautiful and gorgeous by the 3rd date and afterwards then you can refer to her in more affectionate terms.
Never too soon! Be you and say what you want when you want. If they they think it’s weird then tell them this... ‘sorry didn’t realise there was a timescale for everything’ and then say ‘which self help book are you reading to give you the info of when to do/say things?’ And end with ‘which chapter says I’m leaving you?’...
Walk away and find someone who is not worried to say and do what they feel when they feel it!
Well if you use babe as in some funky way to make it seem like she’s your bae
Then its too soon unless she’s your girlfriend kinda or close to it
If you use babe in a flirty light hearted way. Then day 1 no problem lol. Taunt the pussy. Its fun
There's no too soon; if you're feeling it you're feeling it. It can be the first night while they're having sex or it can be a year later. Doesn't matter.

I hate the word in general.
I tell every guy just call me my name. But im not one for cutesy names. Just seems overrated.
When you feel it is a good time. It should be natural and not forced. If she is digging you too, she will love you doing so.
Never too early, people call others babe as a petname regardless of wether they are together or not. I can some of my friends babe, it's nothing
Talk to her, this is all about communication. The other way to see how she feels about it is to put it in a text as you chat with her. Again communication though is the key.
Wait... She is for now a Date... See if she will be your Mate. xxoo
Right away! If that’s how you feeling. Plus y’all already had sex why is it a big deal
As soon as you feel like it, I'd say. If you're uncertain … you could address her like this, and at the same time ask if she's comfortable with it.
I don't think it's ever too soon. She'll probably like it.
I usually start with “luv” cuz it’s less head-on than “babe” or “hun”
I think it's too soon if she's not your girlfriend yet. Some girls may like to be called like that soon, but others don't.
Usually you start calling them pet names before you have sex with them.
Whenever it feels natural to. If it sounds ungenuine it’s never the right time.
When you feel like it’s the time, and watch how she responds to it
Can we leave the whole "babe" thing back in the 2000s please? that shit was annoying.
You had sex already but you think calling her babe is too much too soon. Smh. Wtf is wrong with you?
If she says it, never too soon. For me, I have to know she's comfortable.
Only when I want to belittle them. Especially waitresses at hooters. They’re basically strippers that hate money anyways.
I usually call them that before I've ever actually met them in person. I refer to all my bitches as baby, or sweetheart, or honey. That way I don't have to worry about forgetting any of their names.
Go for It. Shows commitment
When you feel comfortable.
