No...there are many here who call people "hon" (or "hun"), "sweetie", "darlin", and "dear"...it's fine. And if it isn't with somebody, maybe they need to discover why they find something sweet offensive, because there's a problem within them.

As long as you respect that their culture might not program them to be as comfortable with the same ideas... then yes, it is fine to address people in adoring names.
But if they ask you to stop, respectfully, do not take it personally.

My problem out here (South Dakota) is being mistaken for a deer when taking walks in the country. Being called a "deer" then can result in embarrassing and even mortal injury...

I don't think it's bad.
Different regions have their different things, I always say girl/boy at the end of every sentence. Just a thing we have here.
A form of affection, maybe some would view it as patronizing but I never mean it that way!

I'm from the south in America. I call people dear, hun, sweetie, sweetheart, darlin... If anyone has been offended they haven't told me. Its never my intention to offend someone, to me, it's a term of endearment.

Always good to see that a flower can drop into a barren thirsty desert Ambrose.
Good to see you.

No it's not bad to call someone dear.
My dear claudya I would tell them to put their comment(s) where the sun doesn't normally shine through.
When someone calls me sweetie,sweetheart,honey darling, I take no offense. It's just their way of showing endearment.

When you find yourself dealing with people from across many cultures, it is best to tread slowly and cautiously, keeping in mind you are not the only one involved.
What may seem trivial to one of us, may be extremely offensive to another.
In many people's eyes, nicknames given to an unfamiliar person come across disrespectfully and condescending.
You simple need to be polite and slightly neutral with that person. Any attempt to sway their position will be taken as an insult, as if to say their feelings on the matter do not count.
We all have our customs. None are wrong for what we feel comforts in... it's how we treat others that matters.
