Advice

So my boyfriend doesn't ever really tell me I'm beautiful. He says hello gorgeous sometimes when he answers the phone and says I look cute on occasion. But what mostly bothers me is when we are intimate he always calls me hot. Just hot. And idk it makes me feel like I'm just some piece of meat. I try to look cute and stuff for him but he either says cute or hot. I know I'm probably being nit-picky but my self esteem is really low and lately I just feel unwanted and just not beautiful to him. I don't want to tell him to call me beautiful cause that sounds shallow and I want him to do it in his own because it's how he feels. So what can I do?
