I've noticed that many of us don't really feel comfortable with the term "dating" or "boyfriend/girlfriend" in regards to our relationships with the opposite gender. I think for some of us old fogies it just gives the connotation of high school aged kids jumping from one relationship to the next, not a serious relationship based on more than just hormones.
So what do we call that relationship/significant other that we are more than friends with, but not yet engaged to? I'll be honest, I'm not sure If this thread is going to end up serious, or comical and really have no particular aim for either. It's just a point of curiosity for me.
