Is it okay to call a friend 'honey'?

@hellohellohell In my opinion, it’s perfectly okay. I call my best friend honey, hun, sweetheart, etc.

It can be. But don’t be surprised if they take it you like them if they are of the opposite sex. Feel free to ask more questions and I’ll be happy to help! Please help with my Koreanrelatedquestions if u get the chance!

This is a cultural difference between the southern states and the rest of the US.
Southerners call everyone Sweetie, Honey, Suger, Dumplin', etc.
I grew up in California where older people called young people and children Sweetie. A younger person wouldn't say that to someone older than them, and definitely not to a stranger.
I live in the south now, and understand that I need to put my cultural differences aside. :)

@hellohellohell some really close friends maybe. Term 'honey' is more used in romantic context, like when you are in romantic realtionship you call that person 'honey'.
