But no matter how you try to sugarcoat, justify, or argue it – to Type A the phrase “just dating” means exactly how it sounds: no strings attached, no commitment, no relationship. You are not going to change Type As mind. You are never going to be his girlfriend. Accept it. Give up.

What do you call someone youre just dating?

The words I use most are sweetie (for someone Im sweet on, dating regularly), partner for more serious/integrated relationships, and lover or friend/lover for friends and lovers.
