Significant Friend

An amalgamation of "Best Friend" and "Significant Other", usually referring to someone of the opposite sex. Essentially someone who you have no romantic connection to but still love (as a friend) anyhow - a step above "Best Friend" which is used too interchangeably with "Friend".

You know, you're not just a friend Alyssa, I'd call you a significant friend :-)
