You can use it for girls. The term sounds "rude" in a way though, because it is how you commonly friend zone people- meaning you are only interested in them as a friend, and repeating the term may upset someone :/

It is just for males. I have a coworker who uses it for girls too, but it just sounds so weird.

Yes, you can use it if they are like a best friend to you.
My boyfriend calls his sister "buddy". It's like a special nickname.

You can call a girl buddy! I call many of my female friends buddy, bud, pal, dude, bro, etc. That's all totally acceptable depending on how close you are with the person!

It depends on the person. Many may find it rude, but I call some of my female friends buddy, dude, bro, etc. They call me and other male friends in the group girl, brah, etc. It all depends.

I mean, you could. But you don't usually call your girl friends that

Based on everyone's varying comments, I would say it depends on the situation.
If she is a good friend, and she thinks of you as a good friend, you might call each other buddy, meaning like "best friend".
If she is your girlfriend, I don't know if she would like it. Every relationship is different, so some girls may be okay with it. For example, if you consider your girlfriend your best friend, you can call her buddy.
If you only met someone only a few times, and don't really know them, it's weird to call a girl "buddy".
Buddy is just a really endearing term, so I would reserve it for people who are special to you.

@silvamartin2311 no problem 😊 Also, if you like the girl as more than a friend, calling her "buddy" would make her think you only want to be friends, not in a relationship. So, if you possibly want to date the girl, don't call her buddy.
