Czech language has a word "kamarád" for a friend as a regular buddy, and a "přítel" for a friend as a partner. I don't know about an equivalent in english..
 
Is this a romantic sort of friend or a platonic friend?

I use boyfriend for the BF most of the time - I'm 37 and he's 45!
 
That's funny. I always thought best friends served other purposed, like comfort you, get you drunk, save your ass and tell you you look horrible in yellow. I would definitely not include sex there.

In fact I think the best is just say 'my friend'.

After a certain point in time, I guess it isn't our problem, but the problem of anyone that doesn't understand. The people I work with think I"m trying to be intentionally vague (and I am somewhat-- no one needs to know everything!).
 
Yeah, we talk about it sometimes and just stick with 'best friend'. But I thought I'd ask some outside sources!

Not platonic, it's romantic. I guess I just feel weird saying "girlfriend". :)

Romantic?? You lucky you :)

I'm feeling uncomfortable to even say girlfriend. It's kind of big thing to me -like partner would be for someone else. The most of the times I say 'a woman /girl I'm seeing', or 'a woman /girl I know' if it just started.

Some people eat horse in Britain, but only because it's been put into processed foods and passed off as beef :confused:

I eat a lot of horse meat, my mom was passing it to me as beef for years and I couldn't tell the difference :)

So, to my wise (and wise ass) friends, a question. When one is past their 20's and has a female friend, what should be the correct designation? Boyfriend/girlfriend seems fairly adolescent, is there a better term?

My mom has a partner who's like 60 years old. I refer to him as mom's "man-friend" :p

Is this the same person on whom you have elabourated with me in the past? And if so, is the situation the same as before?

It is, but the situation is now all nice and clear! One of these days I'll try to get back on MSN or into the chat about that. ;)

She has been my best friend for the better part of a decade. I've known her for a long time.
 
I have another one: Her Ladyship.
It gives a tone of 18th century; Romantic era, duels, demands for satisfaction and other similar Barry Lyndon stuff.
Plus, nobody will ever misunderstand!
 
Haha!! I like that one!! I'll try it out sometime :)

In other news, I'm alone in IT today and the link to one of our branches went down. So, now I'm on the phone with the ISP, waiting for support.... It will be time to go home before they answer!!
 
I'm on hold for about 15 minutes, and within a minute of the guy getting on the phone, the connection went back online!
