Admit it— your boyfriend loves to be cuddled and showered with affection in private even if he does not tell you. He does not request for your attention but surely he loves it, especially if it stays between the two of you. So aside from the hugs, kisses, and other boyfriend-girlfriend things you do together, surely you have already thought of giving your big baby a cute and unique nickname or even pet name!
You can use the common ones like babe, baby, boo, my world, etc., but wouldn’t it be more special if you have a cute and unique nickname for your boyfriend? Here are a few suggestions that might just lead you to finding your boyfriend’s pet name!
Sometimes, you can also relate your love for food to your love for your boyfriend! You two may also have a favorite dish you enjoy eating together and it could be that. Just imagine calling your boyfriend “my burrito”. Kind of cute, right?
