What do you call someone who is more than a bf?

Question

but not a fiance but that you will wed? When my bf and I introduce eachother, bf and gf just seems less serious than what we are. We are not engaged, yet, but plan to be.

Answer 1

We just got married after 7 years & we are older. It sounded so stupid saying bf & gf. It felt high schoolish. I use to tell people "This is the person I'm living in sin with." They would crack up everytime. Broke the tension.

Answer 2

Well, people can usually observe how close a couple is after socializing for a few minutes. I know couples who have kids and have lived together for years, but for whatever reason have not gone through the legal process of wedding. They still seem content with indroductions of BF @ GF. But, I suppose you could use "significant other". I have heard the term thrown around once or twice, and it definately evoked the insinuation of a close relationship in my mind. Though it sounds a little funny and unnecessary when verbalized.

Answer 3

He's just your boyfriend. In America, there's no imbetween

But in other countries, there are more specific levels. For instance, in Chile, a pollola would be someone you're casually seeing. Usually you won't have anything more than a pollola until you're finished with high school. The next step is a novia which is a girlfriend. The term novia is not used lightly and almost always implies that she is in with your family and present at all important functions you partake in. Fiancee I believe is the same exact word and then esposa is wife.

Answer 4

Your Future


That's What I Call My Boyfriend Because He Is More Than A Best Friend A Boyfriend And A Lover.. He Is My Future

Answer 5

bf and gf

if you seriously thought of getting engaged eventually, do it now, no wrong for getting engaged too long.

so you could finally call yourselves fiancees or future betroths .

but want this to be clear: labels don't do it, if you feel strongly for each other whether its "dating," boyfriends and girlfirends," "fiancee" or "bethroth" its not important.

it don't matter if people don't know what level of the relationship you are in already, some won't even care.

just make sure that you and your loved one knows what stage you are at the relationship and that knowledge be "on the same page of the same book."

Answer 6

Why do you need a label for your relationship if you are secure with your man and how he feels about you? If you are not comfortable calling him your boyfriend then just introduce him as this is (his name). Or you could say this is my "significant other, or my partner." I personally dont think labels are required when introducing your partner, because it will be obvious what he is to you is some point.

Answer 7

why don't you just introduce each other as 'my partner' it doesn't sound as young as bf or gf, and then when you do become engaged it will become fiance and fiancee.

Good luck for the future :o)

Answer 8

I personally wouldn't introduce him as anything. People will understand that you two are close without having to be told. And, when you are engaged, you can introduce him as your fiancee.

After all, it would be awkward to say, "This is X, my more-than-just-a-boyfriend." And people don't really use the phrase "significant other" all that much in introductions.

Answer 9

I would say introduce him as "my partner"...sometimes I refer to my bf this way because we plan on marriage too, just haven't officially set the date.

Answer 10

You should introduce him as your "Lovah!!" Be sure and say it with the best French accent you can and then do one of those nasally Frenchman laughs right after that goes "Hunh hunh hunh!!" Look deeply in his eyes so he can see the depths of the universe pooling in a swelter of lust and amorous affection of much fervor and intensity for him!
