Gender-Neutral Equivalents to Boyfriend/Girlfriend

significantfigs:

transcending-anatomy:

Obviously, this is an incomplete list. 

  • Paramour
  • Significant Other/SO
  • Genderfriend
  • Lover
  • Sweetie/Sweetheart
  • Partner
  • Cuddle buddy
  • Soul mate
  • Steady
  • [name]friend
  • Mate
  • personfriend

I personally love “main squeeze.”

I will only ever say “sweetie” in a British accent per River Song.

I have been referring to my hypothetical eventual sweetie as “queerfriend,” as in when I have a queerfriend we can double date with my two fave married couples all the time and life will be wonderful.
