Definition (noun):
A term used to describe a boy who typically experiences attraction toward girls and would ordinarily refer to a partner as a girlfriend, but who develops a meaningful or affectionate connection with another boy. The term boy-girlfriend is used in place of boyfriend to reflect the individual’s usual language patterns or personal comfort with labels.
The connection can range from a close, non-romantic attachment between two heterosexual or heteroromantic boys to a romantic or homosexual relationship. The term does not assign a specific sexual orientation; rather, it identifies the nature of the relationship between the two individuals.
Definition (adjective):
Used to describe a relationship, dynamic, or role in which one boy occupies the position of a boy-girlfriend to another.
Example: “They have a boy-girlfriend relationship.”
