You can (buddy) but it sounds a bit weird (dude) to the woman you're speaking to. First, is she a woman or girl? If she's a woman. she may not appreciate being called dude.
How close are you to this woman? If close, she may just think of it as a playful term (which is how you meant it probably). If not close, then you may want to use a different word. 😊

@ImlovingPolish Thanks. Got it. So, what other words would you suggest to address a girl I'm not so close to? Like, just to be polite to her.

@joaovictorass Hmmm🤔 I guess it's best to just address her by her name. Until the relationship becomes more informal.
I come from the South of the US. We often call people whom we're not familiar with, by terms of endearment (Sweetheart, Honey, Baby, etc ) It's not common for the rest of the country.
So just keep it simple! Call her by name. 😊😊
