I had an interesting night out with some friends today. There were too many conversations going on which hardly I can remember. Only one got stuck in my head.
" Is a boyfriend or girlfriend the same as lover?"
They answered:
A: "A lover is someone whom you make love with."
B: "Someone you fool around with but has no feelings attached with."
C. "Boyfriends/ Girlfriends are the ones you are loyal to."
D:" It's the same"
The way I see it; this depends on how you really feel towards your other half.
To me it doesn't really matter what 'the love of my life is called'. My other half can be addressed as my lover, boyfriend, my partner in crime and so forth. How I see it, is that the word 'lover' comes from the word 'love' itself. To me its not just loving 'that' precious someone, but to be actually 'in love' with that person, having a relationship together with that special someone.Sadly, nowadays the term girlfriend/ boyfriend now is used merely as a status or a title. As if it's an ownership to a product (this which I detest).
"What do you call the ones that you just sleep around with?"
That would be nothing but a 'f**k buddy', a friend with benefit(s). Nothing related to love. All pure lust. Not my kinda thing if you asked me. Some are okay with it, some are not. Nothing wrong in that, it's just that I am in it for keeps. Individual preferences, kan? kan or not? There are no rights nor wrongs. Especially if it's mutual. What is wrong can be right and what is right can be wrong. It's all about perception.
That's how I see it.
I come in PEACE.
Okay, I am done talking to myself now.
Bye-bye.
Thank you, please come again.
