If she gives me a special treatment and attention she doesn’t give other guys then there is this possibility she does like me. I wouldn’t pay attention whether she called me Onihc, dude, guy, bro, etc. Or if she was wearing a certain color, wearing a hat or not, or whatever.

Simple answer no. Guys tend to be more casual in conversation, even with women they are attracted to. Now if a girl calls me dude, I already know I am 300 ft. deep into the friend zone pit.

We are friends but I do like him a lot and he likes me too.

With women you're attracted to and see some future with, do you call them dude as if theure just another one of the guys, just a friend? This is a red flag to me, but I feel like I could be wrong. He does give me lots of attention and remembers things that are meaningful to me, he consoles me and he have heartfelt conversations, and also just comfortable with just talking about our day.
Personally I'd be super careful not to use the dude word around a woman I was interested in but that's just me. I know for a fact there are dudes (lol) that don't care and use it so much that it doesn't really mean anything one way or the other.

I've never called a girl I liked "dude" simply to keep her from assuming I've friendzoned her.

My husband referred to me as his "buddy" when we were on a date. When it came to game my husband had none. I immediately thought, wow, I guess we are destined to be friends. No, he was just an idiot.

I told my parents that he and I would just be friends so I actually went out on another date. Which was the first and last date because that guy was BORING. Anyway I continued to talk to my future husband and go to the movies and his actions were that he WAS attracted to me. My parents even though I told them we'd ONLY be friends, knew he was the THE ONE before I did. Anyway it eventually became clear we were a thing and became serious. Later married. My husband is still clueless and says dumb things but that's part of why I love him, lol. We've been married 14 years and I still laugh and make fun of him for calling me his "buddy".

No offense but it sounds like you are already in a friend zone. Re-read your own post. Using the word dude can be left completely out of the discussion.

Why you are in that zone could be due to any number of factors, some of which you might be able to change.

Depends on the girl; those with a lot of brothers or guy pals tend to be more casual with their banter. I call my husband "dude" all the time, and we're way past the friend zone at this point.
