Crush called me dude. Is it a bad sign or does not mean anything?

Question says it all. We went out with the group today. Talking and stuff. She randomly called me "dude". I honestly see it as a bad. I see it as something that a girl would tell to a guy she considers just a friend. Might be wrong!
Should I see this as a bad sign or does not mean anything?
*we are not native English , just that we are using English sometimes. It's that kind of group :)

Sometimes he give me hopes like he like me and those time I was happy a lot. But sometimes he is not like that one because he talk with girls and even with my best friends! In that day he call my best friend cute nickname in front of me. I so sad... What should I do? And Why sometimes he give me hopes like sit in front of me and look me and smile me?

dude is just a thing girls say to each other so I'm assuming she thinks of you as a friend

I would take that as just friends.

Dude, you're over thinking. It's not bad.

Why did you call me dude? *goes ahead and places another question on GaG*.
So you would call your crush dude?

[RationalLioness]

Lol. That's simply how I address guys sometimes. I've had some call me "chick". :)

It's neither a bad or a good thing.
