Finding a term when 'boyfriend' won't do

I agree with him that "boyfriend" sounds like the title you'd assign to a kid named "Scooter" in geometry class, but "lady friend" sounds saucy -- and not in a good way.

When you're introducing one another to friends, your first names will suffice because your body language will say it all.

And so there's no clear winner or loser on this one.

I'll run reader suggestions.
