context_page_description: A boyfriend is a male friend or acquaintance, often specifying a regular male companion with whom a person is romantically or sexually involved.
  This is normally a short-term committed relationship, where other titles are more commonly used for long-term committed relationships. A boyfriend can also be called an admirer, beau, suitor and sweetheart. The analogous female term is "girlfriend".
context_section_description: Partners in committed non-marital relationships are also sometimes described as a significant other or partner, especially if the individuals are cohabiting.
  A 2005 study of 115 people ages 21 to 35 who were either living with or had lived with a romantic partner notes that the lack of proper terms often leads to awkward situations, such as someone upset over not being introduced in social situations to avoid the question.
