completely fine with the fact the guy i'm dating just doesn't like the word boyfriend for personal reasons, just the word itself

frustrating that when i correct some friends who call him my boyfriend they absolutely don't get it or feel bad for me or something because they think it has deeper routes and that he's idk scared of dating or has commitment issues and try to problem solve it all for me. because idc! i'm not looking for a "boyfriend" i'm just looking to be happy! and i am!

But damn that tiny tiny bit that's just like, well it is much easier to say than "guy i'm dating"

#not emotionally upset but linguistically... damn this just sounds a bit awkward if you say it more than once #partner sounds very long term to me like indicating time has already passed long term #when we were very drunk he said i could call him aaaaaanything i wanted but honestly i don't really know what that would be #he refers to me as what to me sounds like the kinda slang that would be attached to a “confirmed bachelor” 100 years ago #something along the lines of a very important friend- but in a way that is like obvious in meaning #which was a relief to hear because my chinese is good enough i could hear him call me a friend but nothing else #i know some people would be upset but honestly it's fine #i think because i didn't have anything specific in mind like i wasn't dating to find a boyfriend #i just liked him and wanted /something/ to happen #worm food #searching alternatives like i am not calling him my fancy man or my lover thanks
