What exactly is dating in the US?
Metope:
I don't think I know a single person who likes the word "fiance". I use it as little as possible, when I do it's for the same reason as you, when I meat someone new etc. It's just such an awkward word! I feel like it's a pretend posh word, I kinda feel like a little kid playing grown up when I use it. Ugh.
Method of Madness:
When I was engaged, I would say fiancée the first time and "Sarah" after that. But if I had to use a title instead of a name, I liked saying fiancée because holy shit I was engaged and wanted people to know that.
Thrillho:
I did the same as Method.
The Seldom Killer:
I worked with someone a few years back who couldn't seem to manage the pronunciation of fiance and it always came out as fancy. Oddly, it kind of worked better, kind of the way that fiance always sounds better in the lilting tones of the Provencale. Mind you, she were Derbyshire so she was just as likely to refer to the lad as duck.
Metope:
We actually call each other "Boyfriend" and "Girlfriend", not just when referring to each other, but to each other's faces too. It started as a joke but now it's just what we do? My sis jokingly said to my boyfriend "she has a name, you know", to which he replied "yeah I know, it's Girlfriend!". I wonder what we'll start calling each other once we're married...
