Have you ever considered that it might have nothing to do with nationality and it could just be that your girlfriend is the sort of girl who just simply loathes pet names?
I mean, just to throw it out there; I'm not even remotely Japanese and certainly my dad has never called my mum a pet-name, and i can't stand them either. Especially at the start of a relationship. Sorry, but any first date who calls me 'sugar' immediately gets a first strike. Way too presumptive, and I agree, not very respectful.
