Cariño is a synonym of love, but in Spanish it is used in two ways depending on the situation, if you want to tell someone "cariño" it is the same as in english, but in english the translation would be darling or honey (I see that your native language is English, so I'm pretty sure you know how and in what situations to use those words haha)
But you can also feel or have "cariño" for someone, which is the same thing as feeling or having affection for someone.
Hope you could understand, and if you have any questions just ask me.
PS: sorry for my bad english. lol.

The Word "cariño" is used in one of these contexts:
A person that is in love with another.
A person that is flirting with another.
A Father to his daughter.
....Never between friends and even less between strangers.
If a stranger or friend call you "cariño", you may suspect that him/her is trying to escalate the relationship.

What the others say is pretty much it. I just want to point out that, as @junier2011 said, apart from lovers, it's also used by parents sometimes. Mothers to sons too.
