Re: "My girlfriend"
Posted by JenniferEver
I was pretty young when I first heard it. And I was like "um. ew. She's just my friend. She's not my girlfriend. what the hell are you talking about?"
I rember the first time I heard it, I was under 8--My grandma said it to me when I was sitting out back at the piinic table with friends. It was something like, "Did your other girlfriend go home" or something.
The friends that were there were all "ewwwwwwww. . she said girlfriend. . .", and to this day, I think of that encounter everytime I hear it in that context.
I don't use the phrase--I know too many lebians-- it confuses me to use GF to mean a non-romatic partner.

Re: "My girlfriend"
I say girlfriends and friends...but mostly if I'm referring to a group of friends that are all women, I usually say "my girls" or "the girls"...

Re: "My girlfriend"
I use it all the time, and I still get the "oooh you're girlfriend?" all the time....so annoying!
I've been trying to switch to just saying I'm going out with my girls

Re: "My girlfriend"
I always say it.
As far as I know, I've never confused anyone into thinking I was gay. I know lesbians that use girlfriend to describe their friends too. When describing their romantic relationsihp, they use "partner" or "wife"

Ditto...I have a few gay friends and they usually use husband/wife/partner..if it's a new relationship it's the guy/girl I'm dating or seeing

Re: "My girlfriend"
No I never say that because to me that implies a lesbian partner. I have heard people say that a lot and I have to pause for a second because I think to myself "arent they already married to a man"

I never use it. My grandmother refers to her (female) friends as "girlfriends" -- I always thought it was an old lady thing.
