I have:
Fuckbuddies
Lovers
Girlfriends
Only if they're mates.i can't relate to the term "boyfriend" or "girlfriend". I prefer "the person i'm dating."
Question, do Australian's call their girlfriend's "mate"? When the term "mate" is used, what does it mean?
Fuckbuddies get laid when we organise a mutually beneficial time to hook up.And what are the differences? What does one get that another does not?
Only if they're mates.
Fuckbuddies get laid when we organise a mutually beneficial time to hook up.
Lovers get my romantic interest, sexual interest and exclusivity.
Girlfriends get commitment, with all the above and an approach long terming it with an interest in marriage as a possibility if we're compatible.
If a girlfriend doesn't want an interest in marriage she becomes a lover.
If a lover doesn't want exclusivity she becomes a fuckbuddy
If a fuckbuddy doesn't want sex she gets raped.

My point was is it considered a term for romantic relationships or just good friends? What does it mean when used in Australia? Thing is, i like the term, and prefer it to other terms, but i wouldn't want to use it in the wrong context.

Totally agree with you on that. Knowing that someone considers me their "girlfriend" or "love interest" or what have you.. it makes me feel much more secure in the relationship.I hate to say it, but I am anal about titles. It makes things set and known for me. When I date someone I will concider myself in a relationship with them already, and will not even concicder anyone else at that time. As such, I very quickly want to say "we are dating" because not everyone has that concept. Also the fact that the label gives me a much more secure feeling.
As most of you know, I kinda am a label fiend, heh.
