"Gorgeous."

I've lived in New Jersey for most of my life, and none of my boyfriends ever called me "gorgeous" as my primary pet name. Well now I'm raising my standards!

What does your sweetheart call you? Or what do you call them? Or maybe the two of you have made-up pet names for eachother that are unique to you! Those are the best, if you ask me. Let us know in the comments... babe!
