What's a good platonic nickname?
I am in a now platonic relationship with a guy who is a very very dear friend. We used to always call each other nicknames like hun and sweetie and cutie, and my favorite - punkin. Now that we are just friends, he calls me kiddo, which I love. I don't have a good nickname for him, and I haven't been able to come up with one. Buddy sounds too demeaning. Any idea?
