Isn't Boyfriend a funny term? It seems to put you back in junior high or something when you use it. I suddenly find myself with one and am questioning what to call him instead of Boyfriend. Seriously, how horrible is it to use a term we giggled and dreamed over when we were ten. My barbies had boyfriends. I think it is funny to introduce someone at my age (which is still very young) and call them your boyfriend. I have been brainstorming new titles and can not come up with anything. If you have any ideas, well, feel free to contribute.
Things to call someone you are dating instead of Boyfriend:
- Significant other (boo! that sounds creepy and old)
- Special Friend (again, really? feels like you have to be divorced and hiding a relationship from your toddler to call someone this)
- Boy Toy (haha!)
- Make out pal ( I may end up going with this!)
- Partner (this one is tricky, you could be a cowboy or gay to use it!)
- My man.... (too possessive?)
I honestly can't think of any other options. Maybe there is something out there that would be perfect for the introductions. I really need something so that when I introduce him I don't have to say, "this is my boyfriend,..."
