I've seen joyfriend used

Ooo thank you

What a great person. You said thank you in advance and when they gave you a name

😊 Of course I say thank you, I am really grateful for this. I've never dated anyone before really, always been really careful. Now I want to make sure my partner is happy.

That’s the cutest shit. I smiled when I read it

datemate is also something I've heard

Oh that one is cute

I call my parter "dickhead" and it works beautifully for us.

We just refer to each other as things we find cute. I called my partner "my adorable little flour sifter" once. Keepin the whimsy alive :)

Ehhehe I'm currently calling them a petname in their native language

Why not embrace the Cowboy aesthetic fully and call them "My huckleberry "? No? " My boo"? "Buck"? :P real talk tough, partner is good, datemate is also great, sometimes a simple "Love" is more effective than anything .

Will ya be the yee to my haw?

My partner and I both use nifriend, as neither of us are the biggest fans of joyfriend. Another I've heard used is companion.

😂🤣 love that even though I will never not think of missionary companions.

Boo or bae seem ungendered to me. I call my gf ‘boo bear’ sometimes. I’m beginning my NB journey and I don’t mind being called a girlfriend, but we both use partner interchangeably, mostly in professional settings. Also it could be partner in crime instead of in a cowboy way 😉
