TaylorHeinicke 10/05/22 4:10:48 PM #27:	I go back and forth on this too. I'm almost 30 and there is definitely something that feels a little odd about using the term girlfriend when I'm this old However, it feels a little odder to refer to her as a partner because of the gender-neutral implications. Some of my colleagues are older people and I thought I'd try saying "partner" once for poops and giggles, and they immediately started with the gay jokes, as I expected they would. It was kinda funny especially because I knew that's exactly how they would react. --- St. Louis Battlehawks (1-1) <cite>TaylorHeinicke posted [p:968511179] in I always f...
