He calls you a lover, my love, my baby, my babygirl and you haven’t had sex yet… How’s that friends with benefits?

[OlderAndWiser]

I stopped having casual relationships a few decades ago. Calling a girl my “lover” is a way of saying “This is the girl who has sex with me.” Why do i need to say that to anyone? Our sexual relationship should not be a topic for public consideration.

[BullShark]

Replying to your update; I didn't know you MUST have sex with your S/O if you want to give them a sexy nickname. Seems more like a title or an achievement rather than a nickname in that sense.

And to answer your question, no, I've never called my girlfriends "lover". I have called her love a few times, if that's what you meant

[purplepoppy]

We use the same word "cariad" for lover/boyfriend/girlfriend regardless of whether or not your intimate. Its derivied from caru= to love and probably comes the same root word the Latin carus (dear or beloved). It can also be used as a girl's name

[Thatgirlyouhate33]

For some reason reading that i starting singing in my head. Hello my baby hello my honey, hello my ragtime gaaal!

[AviatorTom]

I don't think I've ever called any of the women I've known my "lover".

[ProbablyClueless]

No. As I tried saying "my lover" just now, it felt weird in my mouth.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

What does “lover” even mean?

[ProbablyClueless]

I think the meaning is innocent and straight forward enough. A lover would be someone you're in love with. Someone you share intimacy with. This is probably an interesting turn of the English language, but I feel like there's an additional meaning that's kind of taboo or illicit. I might use "my lover" to describe a mistress, but I don't even see myself doing that. Maybe I would use it to describe someone else's mistress.

Lover = The person you're having sex with is the first thing that comes to my mind first. Others might have another explanation.

Only when singing spice girls song...

so figure out what you want, what you really really want...

[dougeats]

Nope, thats only for friends with benefits in my opinion

[loveslongnails]

Only in the sense that she's a "great lover". I've had lovers who were not girlfriends. I called them lovers! LOL

[Twalli]

She is my lover, so I don't think I've ever talked about her to others as my lover, because there's a lot more than just that there, but in the definition of being a lover, she is one.

[soe11]

No not at all.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Why not?

[soe11]

We use different phrase.

[Nikki1989]

All the time.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes I have. Is that a bad thing?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I don’t know. Why would you call her a lover if you take her seriously?

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes of course it's just a pet name

[RedInnocent69]

Yeah. It’s kind of accurate.

[NathanDavis]

hmm, no... sounds generic

[spartan55]

No, can't say that I have.

[spartan55]

NONE of those nicknames should be thrown around until sex happens.

[Cheerfull009]

No, I call baby, sweet heart

[DrPepper12]

Nope! Slut, bitch, whore but not lover...

[adriana_wife]
