There is no time limit on when people can start calling each other by endearments. Endearments are pretty standard like 'sugar pie' 'honey' 'dear' 'darling' 'lovey' 'sweetheart'
A pet name is something not others would call their partner, made up, maybe derived from their name like 'Snookers' 'BoBo' 'Spike' 'Pepper'
YOu are thinking perhaps only of a partner but people start off easily from day one, like a Mom with her newborn, You feel love for the child and the endearments come easily. I do that with my grandchildren often.
It doesn't have to be genuine love yet, but can be feelings of happiness when in your presence, or a very strong 'liking'.
The endearments are great but more important is to look beyond the words 'even the words I love you when they come' because words are easy to say. Its much more telling if a guy backs them up with his actions, how he treats you. I used to have a husband who called me by pet names but treated me like crap. Of course I am divorced from him as I learned better. I now have a husband whose actions speak as loud as his endearments and compliments. And that is ultimately what every woman wants.
PS. there is no difference in which endearment is used, nor in whatever pet name is created, as long as the person calling you by it is saying so in a loving way and it is not ridicule or a negative meant to push your buttons or hurt your feelings.
