What to call a guy if he doesn't like pet names?

Anonymous
I called my boyfriend 'bub' once and he instantaneously asked me not to call him that and said that he doesn't like pet names.

He has a nickname for me which is 'Pussycat' and he calls me his 'beautiful girl' etc a lot, but since he told me that, when it comes to me calling him something back I don't know what to say.

In an example he could say "goodnight my beautiful girl" and I could say something like 'good night handsome', but I can't say that all the time.

Guys, I need some help. For those of you that don't like being called 'pet names' what DO you like being called? Even if it's nick-names, describing names or not so cheesy pet names you can handle?

Thankyou.
