What happened to age is only a number? If girlfriend/boyfriend is good at 20,why not at 50 or 60 or 70 even.From experience,it certainly beats wife or husband.

Oh please, oh please, oh please don't use anything like......

woman friend
partner
life partner (used more often in a homosexual relationship rather than a hetero relationship)
old lady
significant other
S/O
domestic partner (sounds like your dating your dog.....sorry PF hun!)
main squeeze


I absolutley adore "This is my lady ________ (insert name here)......but don't add friend to it.....it's just a tad condescending in that it sounds like she is not significant enough. And...to be quite honest.....I truly don't feel there is anything wrong with saying "This is my girlfriend_______", but if it doesn't have a good ring to you....nothing I say will change that in your mind.

I truly think she'll love being called your "lady".....and that is my vote! When you do intro her like this....watch her face for a glint of a smile! Best of luck treeview! You are quite the gentleman to want to make this a comfortable moment for you and your.....lady!

Awwwwwww! I'm touched by this thread!

You're only as old as you feel!!

Age in years has never been an issue for me.

Like I said, girl isn't in the cards. Lady is much nicer.

[Thanks Lixy Chick :) ]

Today I was reading an article for a sociology class and came across the definition of Significant Other:

Those whose judgements are most important to our self-concept.

George Herbert Mead [1863-1931] came up with the idea.

I don't want to be with someone who holds control of my self-worth. I want someone to share out life with.

The 'rest' were not meant to be taken seriously...they were meant as harmless fun...though there are some that use them i spose *L*
